Means your Subaru can recognise you (and four others) and adjust to your personal preferences, including: driver’s seat position, preferred door mirror angle, Multi-Function Display settings, air conditioning settings, and other instrument cluster displays. (Even driver specific fuel efficiency stats for the competitive families.)

Warns both passengers and the driver through a visual and audio alert if the driver continues to look away from the road ahead.

Can detect if the driver is dozing or getting drowsy and offer a warning. (Drowsiness is recognized by calculating the time ratio the driver’s eyes are closed.)

Warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot (on either side of the car) with a symbol that illuminates in your side mirrors.

Gives you more confidence while changing lanes. If another vehicle is fast approaching in the lane you are indicating to move, a symbol illuminates in your side mirrors.

Gives you warning if you are reversing, and another car is approaching the space you are moving into.

Saves you when bright headlights fill your rear-view mirror by auto-dimming itself to minimise the glare. Handy given not everyone’s car has Adaptive High Beams.

Uses EyeSight's high-performance stereo cameras to detect oncoming traffic and dip the range of light-beams to avoid blinding the oncoming driver, while still providing full visibility to the rest of the road.

Displays the distance from the kerb or a parked vehicle while you’re reverse parking. Perfect for guiding you into that parallel parking spot, and protecting those rims.

Lets you check the area immediately in front of the car on the Multi Function Display (MFD). Super useful in those super tight carparks.

Will warn you if you're reversing at low speed and an obstacle is detected. And if you miss the warning, it will apply the brakes for you.

is delivered with gear shifts as the LineatronicTM system provides infinite variability between the highest and lowest available ratios resulting in the car being in the optimum gear ratio at every moment in time.

is delivered by constantly being at the optimum gear ratio at every moment in time. (It’s made our automatic models 20% more fuel efficient than a decade ago.)

For those who want total control, flick it to ‘manual mode’ and use paddles on the steering column to change through preselected gear ratios.
