Standard EyeSight^® Driver Assist Technology

The 2021 Outback features standard EyeSight^® Driver Assist Technology, which monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and warns you when you're swaying outside your lane. The Automatic Pre-Collision Braking feature can apply full braking force and bring you to a complete stop in emergency situations. Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering can take some of the stress out of driving by helping with steering, braking, and throttle control – both in daily traffic and on long road trips.

EyeSight has been found to reduce rear-end crashes with injuries by up to 85%.
