an SUV made for Australiana

5 star approval

Thanks to its clever combination of collision protection technology, the Subaru Outback has achieved the maximum 5 star ANCAP1 safety rating. This is a result of an incredibly rigorous safety innovation program, that includes seven SRS2 airbags – dual front, dual front side, curtain-style and drivers-knee – and a whiplash reducing front seat design, which provides extreme support for passengers’ head, neck and torso.

Reverse made easy

Reverse parking on a tight side street? The Subaru Outback makes reversing safe and easy.

Every Subaru Outback is fitted with a rear-view reverse camera as standard. It’s like having eyes in the back of your head. The rear-view reverse camera helps to greatly improve your visibility and reduce the risk of any bumps and scrapes, so you can get on with your day.

Let all the wheels do all the work

Grip hold of slippery rainy streets. In true Subaru style, Subaru Outback uses our Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (SAWD) system that gives you optimum control and double the tractive capacity of a two-wheel drive car. Because four wheels grip better than two. It’s active safety at its best.

Assistance at the ready

Sudden stopping. Surprise roadworks and hairpin turns. Subaru Outback is ready for extreme urban conditions with its electronic driver assist system called Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC).

Constantly analysing through an array of sensors, VDC includes:
Electronic Stability Control: Helps you gain control if you unexpectedly understeer or oversteer, by applying brakes, reducing engine power and distributing torque.

Traction Control System: Helps you minimise your wheel slip by reducing engine power.

Boxing clever

The famous Subaru Boxer engine is not only a great performer; it also reduces the risk of injury in a severe frontal collision. This is because it’s designed to sit lower and flatter in the engine bay than traditional engines, so it will slide below the cabin – not through it – in an accident.
