New and used cars get EyeSight

It’s not just brand new Subaru cars that have been fitted with the company’s Eyesight driver assist system.

Included in the one million vehicles that have the system, which launched in Japan in May 2008, are NZ-new used and import used vehicles.

EyeSight provides features like adaptive cruise control and pre-collision braking.

It detects cars, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists in the vehicle’s path.

Studies in Japan show vehicles with EyeSight had 61% fewer accidents resulting in injury or death per 10,000 vehicles and had 84% fewer rear-end collisions.

The system has been installed in Subaru cars in Japan, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and China.
