Some of the Most Impressive Safety Features of the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek

Subaru's storied tradition of building vehicles that stand up to challenging driving conditions continues with the all-new 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. Known for creating strong, intelligent vehicles that provide superior protection, Subaru combines advanced engineering with the latest safety systems, ensuring confidence on every road. The 2024 Crosstrek is a testament to this legacy, offering more active safety technology on a platform that's been significantly reinforced.

Next-Generation Active Safety

The 2024 Crosstrek emerges as a class leader in active safety, empowering drivers to avoid hazards proactively. It's equipped with Subaru's renowned all-wheel-drive system, delivering exceptional agility and visibility. The Crosstrek's evasive capabilities are enhanced by the next-generation EyeSight® system, the Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection system, and a comprehensive anti-lock braking system (ABS).

EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology

The latest iteration of the award-winning Subaru EyeSight® is standard across all Crosstrek models. The updated system now features cameras with a broader field of view, a new wide-angle mono camera, and an array of advanced safety features like:

Pre-collision Braking

Pre-collision Brake Assist

Pre-collision Throttle Management

Adaptive Cruise Control

Lane Centering Assist

Lane Departure Warning

Lane Sway Warning

Lane Keep Assist

Lead Vehicle Start Alert

Starting from the Touring trim, the Crosstrek also includes Automatic Emergency Steering to aid in collision avoidance through automatic steering input and braking.

High Beam Assist and Lighting

All trims come with High Beam Assist, which toggles between high and low beams in response to oncoming traffic, enhancing visibility and allowing drivers to focus on the road. The vehicle also features Steering Responsive Headlights that pivot in the direction of the turn, improving nighttime visibility and safety.

Reverse Automatic Braking and Driver Monitoring

The Onyx and Limited trims are equipped with Reverse Automatic Braking, which uses sensors to detect obstacles behind the vehicle, warning the driver, and applying brakes if necessary. The Limited trim also boasts the DriverFocus® Driver Monitoring System (DMS) that alerts the driver if it detects signs of fatigue or inattention.

Rearview Camera and SRVD System

A rearview camera is standard on all trims, providing clear, wide-angle views on the center console screen, complete with dynamic guidelines for easier reversing. Additionally, the Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection System (SRVD), available from the Touring trim upwards, includes Blind Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.

Braking and Vehicle Dynamics Control

The Crosstrek's high-performance brakes feature Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, and Brake Override. Hill Start Assist is also included to prevent rollback on inclines. All Crosstrek models come with Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) and Active Torque Vectoring, enhancing stability and cornering performance.

Strengthened Subaru Global Platform

In an unavoidable collision, the Crosstrek's strengthened Subaru Global Platform comes into play, featuring extensive use of high-strength materials and advanced technological structures to minimize damage and injury, reinforcing Subaru's commitment to safety.

Advanced Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame and Airbag System

The advanced ring-shaped reinforcement frame is a robust safety cell that connects the roof to the side pillars and floor, designed to absorb and redirect impact energy away from the passenger compartment. Complemented by a comprehensive airbag system, it provides an all-encompassing safety environment.

Break-away Engine Design

In the case of a frontal impact, the Crosstrek's SUBARU BOXER® engine is engineered to absorb the shock, then break away and drop below the passenger cabin, adding an extra layer of protection.

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek not only continues Subaru's commitment to safety but also elevates it. With a host of active safety features, reinforced structures, and intelligent design, the Crosstrek stands as a secure fortress on wheels, ready to tackle every journey with unparalleled safety assurance. Whether navigating city streets or venturing into the wilderness, drivers and passengers can take comfort in the Crosstrek's comprehensive protective embrace.
