The Legacy has a multitude of passive safety features, designed to keep its occupants out of harm’s way – such as a whopping seven airbags (including a driver’s knee airbag), seatbelts, ISOFIX mountings and ring shaped reinforcement.

Furthermore, passengers are protected from side, frontal and rear-end impacts. The engineers used high tensile materials within the B-pillar and side sills to minimise the impact of side impacts while frontal impacts are minimised thanks to a cradle frame for the engine (this folds over during an impact). And rear impacts? Well, the frame structure is specially designed so that it compresses gradually during a rear-end collision.
