Jones Junction - Is EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology Standard on the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek in Bel Air, MD?
The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek brings safety confidence to everyday driving around Harford County, and EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology is a big reason why. At Jones Junction in Bel Air, MD, our team highlights that EyeSight® is standard across every 2026 Crosstrek — gas, Hybrid, and Wilderness — so shoppers do not have to step up to a specific trim to get this extra layer of awareness and driver support.
EyeSight® acts like an attentive copilot. Using forward-facing cameras, the system helps monitor traffic and roadway conditions, providing alerts and subtle assistance to help you stay aware. When paired with the Crosstrek’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and generous ground clearance — up to 9.3 inches on certain models — EyeSight® contributes to a composed, predictable drive on wet backroads, snow-dusted mornings, and busy I-95 commutes. It is part of why the 2026 Crosstrek earned a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and it complements the newly available DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System for added peace of mind.
If you are comparing safety content line by line, it helps to know what EyeSight® brings to everyday routes around Bel Air, Abingdon, and White Marsh. Here is how the feature set translates to local driving:
- Stop-and-go confidence: EyeSight® helps smooth out congestion by monitoring traffic ahead and assisting with braking if needed to help reduce the severity of frontal impacts.
- Rain and snow awareness: Extra alerts can help you stay engaged when visibility drops — valuable on winding two-lanes or during coastal weather swings.
- Composed lane guidance: Gentle steering and lane alerts help you maintain course on long highway stretches when your attention should stay on traffic.
- Driver reassurance: The newly available DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System adds an extra layer of awareness to help you stay attentive.
Because EyeSight® is standard, you can choose your Crosstrek based on capability, efficiency, and style without sacrificing core safety tech. That means you can pick the right package for your lifestyle — from the rugged stance of Wilderness to the impressive range of Hybrid — and enjoy the same built-in confidence every time you set out.
- Gas Trims: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Wilderness all include standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology.
- Hybrid Trims: Sport Hybrid and Limited Hybrid also include standard EyeSight® and pair it with an advanced Subaru hybrid-electric drivetrain.
It is also worth noting how EyeSight® fits within the broader safety suite. The Crosstrek offers available Blind-Spot Detection/Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Reverse Automatic Braking, plus new standard rear-seat side airbags for added protection. Available MySubaru Connected Services can provide extra confidence when you are away from the vehicle. Together, these systems help the Crosstrek feel calm and capable — whether you are navigating downtown Bel Air, packing up for weekend hikes, or enduring a sloppy winter mix.
Shoppers often ask how safety integrates with everyday versatility. The answer is that the Crosstrek is designed as a complete package. Conventional trims now feature a standard 2.5-liter, 180-horsepower SUBARU BOXER® engine for responsive acceleration, while Crosstrek Hybrid models combine a SUBARU BOXER® engine with dual electric motors and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery for greater efficiency and up to 597 miles of range. And with up to 120.5 cubic feet of interior space, there is room for friends, cargo, and the gear that makes Maryland weekends more fun. Add the proven durability — 97% of Subaru Crosstrek vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today — and the Crosstrek’s safety story becomes part of a long-term value story as well.
At Jones Junction, our goal is to help you experience these systems the right way — on local roads, in real conditions. Visit us in Bel Air to explore trims side by side, see how EyeSight® engages on a test loop, and learn about our Jones For A Lifetime benefits, including free oil changes, free car washes, and a lifetime engine guarantee for as long as you own your vehicle. It is the kind of support that helps you enjoy Crosstrek confidence mile after mile.
