A strong focus in the up-market variants is on driver assistance such as

    • Blind Spot Monitor
    • Lane Change Assist
    • Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and
    • Front and side View Monitor

An uncommon feature is Reverse Automatic Braking which reduces the chance of you backing into objects.

There are now two mild hybrid models which add $3,400 to the price.

Every Subaru is all-wheel-drive and prices start from $29,700 up to $40,800 plus on-roads.

The biggest selling small SUV is the MG ZS.
