SUBARU'S NEW XV SCORES TOP 5-STAR MARKS IN SAFETY TEST
November 24, 2011 - Subaru Ireland, today announced that its new "SUBARU XV" has been awarded the highest five-star rating by the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP)* for its 2011
overall safety performance test. The Subaru XV arrives in Irish Dealer showrooms in time for Christmas. A more comprehensive and rigorous assessment system has been implemented since 2009 by Euro NCAP which
evaluates "Adult Occupant Protection", "Child Occupant Protection", "Pedestrian Protection" and "Safety Assist". This five-star Euro NCAP award previously crowned the introduction of the new Legacy two years ago,
while Subaru vehicles also received numerous awards for their safety performances from other authoritative bodies.
*Euro NCAP is an independent agency composed of European governments and European motoring and consumer organizations. It has been assessing new car safety performances since 1997.
Subaru further advanced its unique "ring-shaped reinforcement frame body" by optimizing the impact energy relay structure. The use of high tensile steel plates was also increased on the new XV. These
features allow reduction in weight, higher collision safety performance to impacts from all directions, and enhanced passenger safety. In addition, airbags have been installed in the front seats, driver's knee, and
sides (torso and curtain). The above features are topped with VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control) provided as standard on all the models, making the XV an extremely safe car.
Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., manufacturers of Subaru vehicles, aims to offer "Enjoyment and Peace of Mind" through the Subaru experience, its brand statement "Confidence in Motion" at the foundation.
"Enjoyment and Peace of Mind" is not possible without the crucial element of "safety". Subaru will pursue all-around safety by continuing to advance its active, passive and pre-crash safety technologies.
Active safety: safety enhanced by driveability and risk-avoidance technologies
Passive safety: safety enhanced by collision safety systems
Pre-crash safety: safety enhanced by advanced driving assist technologies such as warning alerts and autonomous emergency braking

Subaru Captures Multiple 2012 ALG Residual Value Awards, ALG "Subaru continues to draw fiercely loyal devotees who appreciate the brand's strong quality and ability
to remain practical yet progressive."
- - Subaru of America earns third-consecutive Best Mainstream Brand title
- - 2012 Subaru Outback is three-peat winner in midsize utility segment
- - 2012 Subaru Legacy snags honors in midsize car segment
CHERRY HILL, N.J., Nov. 17, 2011 -- Subaru of America today announced that it has received three Residual Value Awards from ALG, the industry benchmark for residual values and depreciation data. The
ALG Residual Value Awards recognize annually the vehicles predicted to retain the highest percentage of original price after a three-year period.
The company claimed the title of Best Mainstream Brand for the
third year in a row. Subaru also earned Best Midsize Utility Vehicle and Best Midsize Car nods for 2012 Subaru Outback and 2012 Subaru Legacy, respectively. Award winners are determined through careful study
of the competition in each segment, historical vehicle performance and industry trends. Vehicle quality, production levels relative to demand, and pricing and marketing strategies remain the key factors that affect
ALG's residual value forecasts.
"The Legacy's standard all-wheel drive, above-average fuel economy and spacious interior appeal to a wide swath of the market, helping to keep demand high," said
Raj Sundaram, for ALG.
"With the brawny new generation of Outback, Subaru continues to build on its reputation for delivering what consumers want in a crossover, the handling of a car with great utility and roomy interiors."
"Subaru is proud to be recognized as a brand that builds safe and reliable vehicles that deliver on our mobility promises and retain value for our owners," said Thomas J. Doll, executive vice president
and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc. "We are honored to have, again, received ALG Residual Value Awards for our brand and two of our popular Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive vehicles."
Of the Best Mainstream Brand win, ALG's Sundaram remarked: "Subaru continues to draw fiercely loyal devotees who appreciate the brand's strong quality and ability to remain practical yet progressive in its
redesigns. Dependably low incentives and fleet sales have also enhanced its used market image, helping it to retain the top spot for mainstream brand for the third year in a row."
