Subaru Legacy Safety Review

The Subaru Legacy is a stylish midsize sedan that's earned both a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and been named a 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK+ by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS). So, how did it earn these awards?

To show drivers in Parsippany, Wayne, and Morristown all the ways it keeps you safe and prevents accidents, Paul Miller Subaru put together this 2019 Legacy safety review.

Subaru Legacy Airbags & Design

Inside its strong frame, the Subaru Legacy protects you with eight standard airbags. The advanced airbag system covers the full interior with front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger, as well as seat-mount front side-impact airbags. To cover both rows of seats, there's also side-curtain airbags with a rollover sensor. 

The interior is also designed to prevent whiplash with height-adjustable head restraints, Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH), and height-adjustable 3-point seatbelts with pretensioners and force limiters.

All of this sits on a reliable drivetrain that maintains traction and control in any situation with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.

Subaru Legacy Driver Assistance Features

The Subaru Legacy comes standard with the EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology system. This uses a series of sensors and cameras to prevent accidents with features like:

• Pre-Collision Braking
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Lane Departure and Sway Warning with Lane Keep Assist
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management

In addition to the EyeSight® system, there are lots of available features that can give you more awareness of what's around your car. For example, a Blind-Spot Detection lets you know when the coast is clear to change lanes safely.

You can also get more visibility at night with LED Steering Responsive Headlights. These pivot as you turn the wheel, so you can see around curves while you're turning.

Even backing up is safer and easier in the Legacy. The standard Rear-Vision Camera lets you see what's behind you when you shift into reverse, while Reverse Automatic Braking can bring your car to a complete stop if you're about to tap another vehicle.

Your rear bumper sensors also look out for your sides too. The Rear Cross-Traffic Alert gives you an audio warning if another vehicle is heading your way while you're backing up.

Subaru Legacy Roadside Assistance

The 2019 Subaru Legacy also has you covered if an accident does occur. The STARLINK™ Safety Plus system sends and Automatic Collision Notification and can provide you with either Enhanced Roadside Assistance or SOS Emergency Assistance.

This system is also watching out for you before you even get in your car. You can receive Diagnostic Alerts and a Monthly Vehicle Health Report, so that you'll know ahead of time if your vehicle has any problems or needs maintenance.
