2019 Subaru Outback Changes – Subaru Outback 2019 – All Trims To Include EyeSight®

Big news about 2019 Subaru Outback changes – not a rumor. The Subaru Outback 2019 model year, according to an official press release issued by Subaru 30 May 2018, will include at no additional charge, the second generation Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology!

EyeSight, which is offered on all 2018 Subaru model lines except the BRZ sports car, includes Pre-Collision Braking and Throttle Management; Adaptive Cruise Control; Lane Departure and Sway Warning; and Lane Keep Assist. For the 2019 model year, EyeSight will be standard equipment on the all-new three-row Subaru Ascent SUV as well as the Outback SUV, Legacy midsize sedan and fully redesigned Forester SUV. EyeSight is available as an option on the 2018 Legacy; Outback; Forester; Crosstrek compact SUV; Impreza compact sedan and 5-door; and WRX high-performance sedan.

This was long awaited news but unsurprising given that Subaru was already offering it as standard on the 2019 Ascent and redesigned (and we think rather good looking) 2019 Subaru Forester.

About EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology

Developed by Subaru, EyeSight debuted in the 2013 Legacy and Outback models. The current, second-generation EyeSight system was introduced for 2015 with upgraded capabilities and extended detection range. The 2019 Ascent also features the EyeSight Assist Monitor (EAM), which provides a heads-up display of EyeSight system warnings, as well as system status information, on the vehicle windshield.

EyeSight uses two Subaru-developed color cameras mounted inside the car on the upper edge of the windshield, thus reducing the potential for damage that could occur in bumper-mounted systems. EyeSight processes stereo images to identify vehicles traveling in front, as well as obstacles, traffic lanes and other objects. EyeSight is capable of detecting pedestrians in the vehicle’s path and can activate in order to mitigate or even avoid the collision. Under certain circumstances, Eyesight is able to bring the vehicle to a complete stop, thus avoiding a collision.
