The Tribeca gets nothing but top 'good' marks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS), and . On top of that, the Tribeca boasts a ton of standard safety features, including side-impact airbags for the front seats and side curtain airbags for first- and second-row passengers but not for third-row passengers. We advise opting for the rearview camera, which makes those pesky reverse parking maneuvers a breeze.
The Tribeca hasn't yet been rated by the federal government, as part of the stricter crash-test ratings system being phased in for the 2011 model year, but under the former system the Tribeca achieved top five-star results in all categories for frontal and side impact.
Conclusion
It doesn’t get much better than this; the 2011 Subaru Tribeca is one of the safest vehicles in its class.
