If you're interested in the safest Subaru models, there are plenty to choose from. That's because countless hours of innovation and engineering confirm the lineup at Herb Gordon Subaru as one of the safest in the auto industry. This statement applies not just to world-class structural integrity, but also to the proprietary, cutting-edge safety features that keep occupants well protected.
EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology
The Subaru brand's award-winning EyeSight® driver assist technology suite comes standard on every model, from the sporty Subaru BRZ to the popular Subaru Outback. EyeSight® employs a combination of advanced sensors and rearview mirror-mounted cameras to monitor the road ahead and identify potential hazards. Examples of the cutting-edge features in the suite include:
- Pre-Collision Braking - Helps detect potential frontal collisions and can automatically apply the brakes.
- Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering - Maintains a set following distance while helping keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
- Lane Departure and Sway Warning - Alerts the driver if the vehicle drifts from its lane.
- Lane Keep Assist - Provides gentle steering assistance to help keep the vehicle in its lane.
- Automatic Emergency Steering - Available on select models and trims; can provide steering assistance to help avoid a collision.
- Pre-Collision Throttle Management - Helps reduce unintended acceleration if an obstacle is detected ahead.
- Lead Vehicle Start Alert - Alerts the driver when stopped traffic begins moving.
- DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System - Available on select models and trims; monitors for signs of driver distraction or drowsiness.
- Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert - Standard or available, depending on the model and trim.
- Reverse Automatic Braking - Available on select models and trims; can automatically brake when reversing if an obstacle is detected.
DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation
As its name implies, DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation is designed to monitor and detect signs of driver distraction and/or fatigue. It accomplishes this through a state-of-the-art combination of infrared camera technology and facial recognition software, comprising a multi-level analysis that begins with scanning for signs of drowsiness, fatigue, or distraction. If these signs are detected, the system produces visual and audio warnings to help the driver refocus. If the driver doesn't respond to these warnings, DriverFocus® moves to its third step: automatically slowing the vehicle down, bringing it to a complete stop, and summoning emergency assistance.
STARLINK® Safety & Security
Another integral safety feature is STARLINK® Safety & Security. This comprehensive suite of connected services - many of which can be accessed through the MySubaru® smartphone app - leverages real-time connectivity to enhance occupant safety and vehicle security. A Silver Spring, MD Subaru dealer will take you through the many aspects of STARLINK® and the tiered packages that comprise it. For example, the Safety Plus tier includes basic features such as vehicle health reports and automatic collision alerts, while Security Plus supports remote engine start and customizable alerts for speed, boundaries, and curfew.
