Subaru for Families: Comfort, Space and Confidence
Spacious Interiors for Everyday Life
Life isn’t always neat. Between school bags, groceries, muddy shoes, and sports gear, you need space. The Subaru Outback and Subaru Forester shine when it comes to interior room and clever storage. With flat-folding rear seats and cargo-friendly layouts, loading up is effortless.
EyeSight Driver Assist: Watching Your Blind Spots
When your most precious passengers are in the back seat, peace of mind becomes everything. Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist Technology includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, pre-collision braking, and blind-spot monitoring. It’s like having a second pair of eyes on the road, and it’s available in the Outback, Forester, and Crosstrek.
AWD That’s Always On
All-wheel drive isn’t an optional extra in a Subaru, it’s standard. Whether you’re heading to the Drakensberg or navigating wet Joburg roads, the constant grip and control of symmetrical AWD gives your family a safer, more stable ride.
