See More With the Latest in Vehicle Camera Technology From Subaru
At Herb Gordon Subaru, we love helping you find the best cars for the best deals, but we also care about your safety. A recent report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) says “rearview cameras, soon to be standard on all new vehicles, can be expected to prevent nearly 1 in 6 police-reported backing crashes.” In light of this, Subaru is already ahead of the pack, including the latest in-vehicle camera technology to help you maintain awareness of your surroundings and stay safe on the roads.* Take a look at some of the latest vehicle camera innovations from Subaru:
Rear-Vision Camera (pictured above)
As mentioned above, the rearview camera is not only vital, it’s soon to be a requirement in all vehicles. Luckily, the rearview camera from Subaru is top of the line. Simply shift the vehicle into reverse, and the screen automatically displays the rearview video. Not only does it feature crystal clear, full-color video displayed on an in-dash, high definition LCD screen, it also features colorful guidelines to help you gauge distances to objects in your path.
Smart Rear-View Mirror
Sometimes, a traditional rearview mirror won't work, like when the rear cargo area is packed full of camping gear. But what if you need to see behind the vehicle while traveling down the interstate? You can't use the Rear-Vision Camera unless you're in reverse. What do you do? Subaru offers an answer with the available Smart Rear-View Mirror. With the flip of a button, the mirror transitions to the rear camera video. Now that's smart!
180-Degree Front Camera
Another great innovation is a camera built into the grill of the 2019 Ascent (available in the top-of-the-line Touring trim). It can be easy to miss obstacles on the ground hiding under the front bumper, so Subaru installed a panoramic front camera to help you see hidden ground objects or to help you navigate out of tight spaces.
Not only do Subaru models offer cutting-edge camera technology, but they also offer an array of high-tech active and passive safety features. Just like the cameras mentioned above, you really have to see them all to appreciate how far car safety has come over the years. We have many new models, all with a wide range of available features, so visit our showroom or contact us to schedule a test drive and experience it for yourself. Stay safe out there!
