Subaru Uncharted and E-Outback Earn Five-Star Euro NCAP Safety Rating

Subaru announced on June 2 that its newly introduced Subaru Uncharted and Subaru E-Outback received the highest five-star rating in the 2026 Euro NCAP safety assessment. The achievement highlights the vehicles' strong safety credentials, as both models surpassed the required benchmarks across all four key evaluation areas: Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Vulnerable Road User Protection, and Safety Assist.

Performance Across Euro NCAP Evaluation Categories

During the comprehensive testing process, both vehicles demonstrated a high level of protection for occupants and other road users. Euro NCAP assessments confirmed that the Subaru E-Outback and Subaru Uncharted maintained stable passenger compartments during frontal offset crash tests. The results also showed effective protection for occupants of different body sizes and seating positions, reflecting the robustness of the vehicles' structural design and restraint systems.

The Subaru Uncharted delivered an especially strong performance in side-impact assessments. The vehicle achieved maximum points in the side barrier test, indicating excellent protection for critical body regions during side collisions. This result reinforces the model’s ability to provide enhanced occupant safety under demanding crash scenarios.

Child Occupant Protection Results

Child safety was another area where both vehicles performed strongly. Euro NCAP testing using six-year-old and ten-year-old child dummies showed effective protection in crash scenarios. The assessment highlighted the vehicles’ capability to safeguard younger passengers, supporting their suitability for family-oriented transportation needs.

Advanced Safety Technologies Supporting the Rating

In addition to strong crashworthiness performance, the vehicles are equipped with a range of advanced driver assistance and safety technologies. These systems contribute significantly to accident prevention and overall road safety.

Key safety technologies featured in the vehicles include:

• Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
• Driver fatigue monitoring systems
• Lane support technologies that help maintain lane positioning
