I am very happy to introduce these three new Subaru models which showcase the latest technologies from Subaru.”

“Fans of the Subaru Forester GT Edition will be overjoyed to know that Subaru automotive designer Jack Kobayashi styled the latest Forester GT Edition.

It sports an even more stunning GT bodykit that features new front and rear bumper accessories, which also improve its aerodynamics! The Forester GT Edition also rides on newly designed 18-inch GT Edition alloy wheels to complete the exciting exterior upgrades. That same finesse is also displayed in the cabin with GT Edition designer leather seats, which add to the excitement of owning this new Forester. With so much sportiness and style packed into the Forester GT Edition, owners of the Extraordinary SUV will live even larger!”

“As for those seeking an SUV with uncommon luxury, they will certainly find it in our new 2023 Outback. With focus on providing even more effortless and engaging driving experiences, new enhancements such as an updated user-friendly 11.6-inch HD display interface, ability to connect wirelessly to Apple CarPlay and exterior design tweaks will take the already luxurious Outback to the next level.”

“The new Subaru Evoltis is our flagship SUV which builds on success on Subaru’s brilliant new initiatives to stay ahead of the competition. This new generation Evoltis is our first car in Philippines equipped with the most advanced version of Subaru’s signature safety system – the new Enhanced EyeSight 4.0. The 7-seater luxurious cabin has also received first-class upgrades, such as a 11.6-inch touchscreen, first introduced in the Subaru Outback, perfect for intuitive infotainment, premium Nappa leather for even greater luxury, along with a new Driver Monitoring System for a safer and more personalised driving experience.”

“Completing the MIAS experience for visitors seeking heart-stopping thrills, Subaru is once again excited to welcome the legendary stunt driver, Russ Swift, who will bring thrills and smiles to his fans once again.”

The 2023 Subaru Evoltis is the ideal option for individuals who value practicality, peace of mind, and a healthy dose of elegance. It provides enough space for families and is loaded with cutting-edge safety systems.

At traffic intersections, the Enhanced EyeSight technology can see even more, making the Evoltis safer for all road users. Subaru keeps pushing the envelope, setting new standards for innovation while delivering best-in-class safety.

 

Subaru EyeSight 4.0

The 2023 Subaru Evoltis is the first model in Subaru's lineup in the Philippines to include Enhanced EyeSight 4.0 as standard equipment. It is also equipped with Subaru's four core technologies. This advances Subaru's renowned driver assistance technology, giving Evoltis owners an even safer and more relaxing driving experience.

EyeSight can distinguish between pedestrians and slower-moving two-wheeled vehicles. With the newest safety features at their disposal, drivers can drive with even more confidence, making both short trips and long commutes safer and more pleasurable than ever.

In addition, Level 2 ADAS semi-automated driving technology has been incorporated to the Evoltis, providing an additional level of security in the event of an unforeseen hazard. This technology includes autonomous emergency steering and lane departure prevention.

The new Evoltis is one of the safest vehicles on the market thanks to additional cutting-edge safety systems like Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert that are included as standard equipment. An electronically controlled power-assisted brake system, which allows drivers greater control and precision when stopping for absolute confidence and security regardless of the situation, completes its extensive safety repertory.

When reversing or parking, the new Multi-perspective Monitor System gives the driver a 360-degree aerial perspective of the region around the new Evoltis to aid in safe maneuvering.

The GreenEdge premium audio system from Harman Kardon offers occupants a richer auditory experience.
