Curious as to what Subaru’s EyeSight advanced driving assistance system is all about? Well, here’s your chance to sample its workings first hand at the Subaru Advanced Technology Drive (SATD) event happening at Plaza Arkadia, Desa ParkCity. The event runs from today until Sunday (July 8 to 10), from 10am to 6pm.
Organised by TC Subaru, the exclusive distributor of Subaru vehicles in Malaysia, the SATD event will showcase a number of driver assistance technologies available in the 2022 Subaru XV facelift through a series of course exercises.
You’ll be able to check out how autonomous emergency braking works via the Autonomous Stop (Pre-Collision Braking) function, and sample the car’s Autonomous Go adaptive cruise control with its Stop and Go function. A third set-up will showcase the XV’s symmetrical all-wheel drive system.
That’s all happening at the outdoor car park across Plaza Arkadia. At the Courtyard fountain area in the plaza, you’ll find a display tent highlighting the XV facelift, which made its local debut last December. Both the 2.0i-P EyeSight and eye-catching GT Edition forms are on show at the event.
The EyeSight safety suite is standard on all XVs sold here, and adds autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, lane departure warning, front departure alert and pedal misapplication control to the crossover’s kitbag. Head on over to Plaza Arkadia this weekend to sample the EyeSight system in the XV facelift.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
anyone actually own an XV that can share the Subaru’s aftersales support? is it good or terrible?
Am 2018 XV owner, no issues so far. Subaru is better aftersales service and better buy
thanks! am considering a Subaru for an upgrade but am concerned about after sales support. going to continue surveying options, because i’ve really had it with my car and it’s quality issues and terrible aftersales support (surely people know what brand lol).
proton
What makes u say that?
All depends on your luck. My neighbour also owned new XV with Eyesight, also so far no issues too. So that’s why Subaru is better buy
Honda
Subaru is a hit or miss. Back during 1st gen XV era, it was selling well but aftersales could not catch up and faced many issues of bad servicing, limited 3S, and waiting for parts. Perhaps now with lower sales they can cope but the same situation arise again, good luck on getting service. I can’t read your mind on the car you had but I’m guess it must be a Perodua seeing how much complaints they been getting.
Owns a 2018 XV as well. Had very minor issues, like windshield rain sensor requiring replacement, 2x fuel pump replacement recalls, all covered by Service center as warranty. After sales service is good, as they notify/remind owners about due service/recalls. Driving experience is quite favorable (a delight on winding roads), fuel consumption is okay for me. Maintenance cost is as expected for car with the price range.
Good
In line with the season, could put a line of lemang as obstacles during the event lol
2022 already, buy car must have ADAS.
One of the common complaints of Subaru in Malaysia is build quality. Creaking panels ans the like. Can owners please comment on this?
All depends on your luck. I owned XV 2018 while my neighbour also owned one new XV with Eyesight, so far no issues too. Better aftersales service and quality.
Thats totally untrue because subaru build quality is very good. Actually common complaint is wheel bearing issues, which u need to change quite often
Must be referring to honda right?
Good
Do event right when majority balik kampung then who will come. Another stupid tan chong marketing fail.
I would say the quality is pretty good. Im driving Forester 2022, import from Thailand. There is one impressive feature of Eyesight that is rarely discussed which is the Stop and Go feature. When the car is in Adaptive Cruise Control mode, the car will get to move again automatically after a complete stop within 2-3 seconds. However, you need to depress the accelerator to move after 2-3 seconds of complete stop.
