Subaru EyeSight at the Singapore Motorshow 2018

If you are visiting the Singapore Motorshow 2018 next week, be sure to check out the Subaru booth. They will be showcasing the EyeSight Driver Assist Technology featured in the new Outback and XV.

With EyeSight stereo cameras, it is able to identify the surrounding vehicles, obstacles, traffic lanes and other items. And this, in my opinion, is a much-needed feature – Under the right circumstances, it will apply the brakes or reduce the throttle to minimise the risk of a collision.

Singapore, 5 January 2018 – Motor Image, the exclusive distributor of Subaru vehicles across nine countries in Asia, is launching Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist Technology at the Singapore Motorshow 2018. Subaru will also introduce the new Outback and XV which will be equipped with EyeSight.

EyeSight Driver Assist Technology:

EyeSight* is a driving support system that uses a range of functions to assist the driver, providing a safer and comfortable driving experience. Adding confidence to every trip, EyeSight uses stereo cameras to identify the surrounding vehicles, obstacles, traffic lanes and other items. Under the right circumstances, it will apply the brakes or reduce the throttle to minimise the risk of a collision.

When equipped with EyeSight, all 2017 Subaru models received the highest possible 2017 rating for front crash prevention by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the United States. This advanced system provides extra awareness, safety, and added confidence every time drivers step behind the wheel.
