Subaru yesterday confirmed that premium versions of its 2007 Legacy and Outback will feature the company’s new SI-Drive system. Subaru Intelligent Drive offers the option of three different driving modes. The modes are easily selected using a centre console dial, or steering wheel controls. For those wanting to achieve optimum fuel consumption and ride comfort in stop-start traffic around town, or cruising on the freeway, ‘Intelligent mode’ is activated by simply pressing the button. By accelerating gently and noting an ‘Eco gauge’ on the instrument cluster, drivers can achieve maximum economy. ‘Sport mode’ is activated by turning the button left. It is ideal for everyday flowing traffic, including on urban roads. ‘Sport #’ mode is activated by turning the button right. It is aimed at producing great car response for enthusiastic drivers on open roads.
