Why is Subaru the Best SUV for Kiwi Families?

New Zealanders love Subarus. They are such a perfecct car for our country, with its outdoors lifestyle, that you’ll find more Subarus in New Zealand per person than just about any country in the world. Yet despite their popularity, it’s not always known as to why they are a great vehicle to own and drive. We’ve outlined the common technology in Subaru vehicles, to help you choose the best SUV for your lifestyle.

All-Wheel Drive: There’s no surer way to feel safe and in control on New Zealand roads. Subaru’s tried and tested system automatically switches power from the wheels that slip to the wheels that grip, giving you twice the grip of a 2WD vehicle, so you can feel confident driving in any weather conditions.

Boxer engine: This legendary engine design sits horizontally in the engine bay. This lower centre of gravity not only increases stability, it also allows it to slide under the cabin in case of a serious forward crash.

X-Mode: This one is for those tricky off-road situations when the rough terrain or steep inclines can be difficult to navigate. You can activate X-Mode to get better traction when you need it most, whether that’s in slippery mud or creeping down that steep hill!

EyeSight: Ask anyone who’s got it, Subaru’s award-winning safety technology is a game-changer. With autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control, Lane Keep Assist and three drivers alerts, Subaru call it their clever crash avoidance and driver assist technology as it really does help prevent you from having accidents.

5 Star ANCAP safety rating: Very reassuring for those in search of the safest SUV, with every model having 7 airbags.

Rear reversing camera: If your car’s got reverse, it needs a reversing camera to go with it, so every Subaru is fitted with one as standard. (Vision Assist: additional features like rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot detection and lane change assist are available on all Premium models.

Apple CarPlay™and Android Auto™: It doesn’t matter if you have Apple or Android, Subaru will get it smoothly connected with key apps available on your car’s screen to use safely while on the road.
