The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Outlander Good overall scores, the highest rating possible, in its frontal-offset and side-impact crash tests. It received an Acceptable rating for its ability to prevent whiplash injuries in rear-end collisions.
Standard safety features include antilock brakes, side-impact airbags for the front seats, side curtain airbags for the first two rows of seats and an electronic stability system. The curtains aren't designed to protect third-row passengers.
