Subaru Europe revealed today that the all-new Subaru Crosstrek has been awarded the highest possible five-star rating in the 2024 European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). The Crosstrek exceeded the required thresholds in all four of the programme's key evaluation categories: Adult Occupant, Child Occupant, Vulnerable Road Users, and Safety Assistance. With this achievement, every Subaru model currently available in the UK now boasts a Euro NCAP five-star rating, a true testament to Subaru showing how safe their vehicles are across the entire range.
In terms of Child Occupant safety, the Subaru Crosstrek was among the top performers tested in 2024, earning full marks in Crash Test Performance for both frontal and lateral impacts involving 6- and 10-year-old dummies, as well as for the CRS installation check. During frontal-offset and side pole impact tests, all critical body regions were well protected, resulting in maximum points for this section of the evaluation. The Crosstrek is also fitted with a system that automatically disables the front passenger airbag when a rearward-facing child seat is in place, as well as an indirect 'child presence detection' feature (Rear Seat Reminder), which alerts the driver if a child or infant is potentially left in the car. Additionally, all child restraints for which the vehicle is designed were correctly installed and securely accommodated.
In the Vulnerable Road Users assessment, the Crosstrek achieved full marks for its Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system for Cyclists and its Lane Support System for Motorcyclists. The vehicle’s ability to detect and respond to cyclists and motorcyclists was highly effective across all test scenarios.
For the Adult Occupant safety category, the Crosstrek also scored maximum points in the side barrier and side-pole impact tests, providing strong protection to all critical body areas. The tests conducted on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated effective protection against whiplash injuries in rear-end collisions. Furthermore, a geometric evaluation of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. During the frontal offset test, the passenger compartment remained stable, and dummy readings showed strong protection for both the driver’s and passenger’s knees and femurs, offering equal protection to occupants of various sizes and seating positions.
In the Safety Assist category, the Crosstrek received full marks for Lane Support, with its Lane Keep Assist system gently adjusting the vehicle's course when it veered out of its lane and intervening more assertively in critical situations (Emergency Lane Keeping). The vehicle comes equipped with a seatbelt reminder system as standard on both front and rear seats, earning maximum points, and features a driver status monitoring system.
Launched in the UK in January 2024, the Subaru Crosstrek is a rugged and practical vehicle, designed for off-road adventures and country living. Offering 220mm of ground clearance, permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and the renowned X-MODE off-road system as standard, the Crosstrek delivers excellent traction, grip, and handling in all weather and terrain conditions. It’s a truly confidence-inspiring vehicle, built to tackle challenging environments with ease.
