Other automakers have safety systems, Honda has Sensing technology while Nissan has ProPilot, just to name a few. What sets Subaru's EyeSight apart is in the Japanese automaker’s approach to achieving the capability of preventing auto accidents. EyeSight acts like a second set of “eyes” using two cameras that flank the rearview mirrors, giving the system its vision ahead detecting any potential dangers. This location also keeps the camera eyes free from debris like ice and snow.

Think of it like having a driving instructor along with you, not being intrusive, but there for you if your attention is taken away from the road or if you are distracted while driving. The system will not hesitate to step in if it's really necessary to prevent a crash or, at the very least, reduce the actual impact. In any price range, Subaru’s EyeSight could be the best. Subaru’s goal of being the automotive safety leader is being achieved globally.

In the category of “Best Compact Crossover" the new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek also took home second place among seven nominees in the Grand Prix nominations.
