  • Excellent scores in all four key assessment areas
  • One of the best performing models in the Child Occupant safety category
  • Entire Subaru range boasts maximum five-star Euro NCAP rating
The new Subaru Crosstrek has been awarded the maximum five-star rating in the 2024 European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). This result means that the full Subaru range (Solterra, Crosstrek, Forester and Outback) has achieved the Euro NCAP five-star status. Here’s why this rating matters and what it means for you as a driver.
What is the Euro NCAP Safety Rating?
The Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) safety rating is a benchmark in the automotive industry, assessing how well a vehicle protects its occupants and other road users in the event of a crash. Vehicles are subjected to a series of demanding crash tests, which evaluate four key categories: the Crosstrek achieved its best result in the Child Occupant Protection category with a rating of 90 per cent. It also scored very highly in the remaining three categories: Vulnerable Road Users (85 per cent), Adult Occupant Protection (83 per cent), and Safety Assist (72 per cent).
A five-star rating from Euro NCAP is the highest possible score, indicating excellent performance across all these categories.
How the Subaru Crosstrek Achieved Five Stars
The Subaru Crosstrek’s five-star Euro NCAP rating is a testament to its advanced safety features and robust design. Here’s what contributed to this top-tier safety performance:
Subaru Global Platform: The Crosstrek is built on Subaru’s Global Platform, which significantly enhances the vehicle’s rigidity and crash energy absorption. This foundation provides superior protection in the event of a collision, minimising the risk of injury to occupants.
Next-Generation EyeSight Technology: Subaru’s EyeSight driver assist technology played a crucial role in securing the five-star rating. This system includes features like Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Pre-Collision Throttle Management, which work together to prevent accidents before they happen.
Comprehensive Airbag System: The Crosstrek is equipped with a full suite of airbags, including front, side, curtain, and driver’s knee airbags, providing all-around protection in the event of a crash.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): The Crosstrek comes with state-of-the-art ADAS features, including Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Limiter, and Lane Centering Function, all of which contribute to a safer driving experience.
Pedestrian Protection: Euro NCAP also assesses how well a vehicle protects pedestrians and cyclists. The Crosstrek’s design, along with its active safety features like Autonomous Emergency Steering, helps mitigate the risk of accidents involving vulnerable road users.
Why This Matters to You
A five-star Euro NCAP safety rating isn’t just a badge of honor; it’s a clear indication that the Subaru Crosstrek is among the safest vehicles on the road. For you, this means peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel. Whether you’re driving through busy city streets or taking a long road trip, you can trust that the Crosstrek is engineered to keep you and your loved ones safe.
So, if safety is a top priority for you, the Subaru Crosstrek is an excellent choice, offering unmatched protection on every journey.
