Subaru UK has announced that the all- new Solterra (European specification) has achieved the maximum five-star overall rating in the 2022 European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). The Solterra registered scores in all four-assessment areas (Adult Occupant, Child Occupant, Vulnerable Road Users, Safety Assist) that stand above the minimum threshold required.

The all-new, all-electric Subaru Solterra attained the highest score ever achieved by a Subaru vehicle in Safety Assist in the Small Off-Road class, according to the latest applicable test. It also registered the highest marks in occupant status monitoring (incl. driver monitoring and seatbelt reminder). For the Adult Occupant assessment area, the all-new Solterra has attained the maximum score in rescue and extrication. In addition, it did extremely well in lateral impact and rear impact*3.

The tests showed that while the passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal offset test, the dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger.

For the Child Occupant assessment area, the all-new Solterra has attained the maximum score in Crash Test Performance (both frontal and lateral impact) based on 6 and 10 year old children, as well as CRS installation.

Good or adequate protection was provided for all critical body regions during the frontal offset and side barrier tests, and maximum points were scored in this part of the assessment. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearwardfacing child restraint to be used in that seating position. All of the child restraint types for which the Solterra is designed could be properly installed and accommodated.

For the Vulnerable Road Users assessment area, the allnew Solterra attained a very high score for AEB Cyclist

Protection of the head of the struck pedestrian was predominantly good or adequate, while the bumper offered good protection to the legs of pedestrians thanks to the strategically placed crumble zones.
