Excellent (expanded) suite of driver-aid techImproved connectivitySmart-looking cabinStrong engine with effective CVTBuild qualitySvào hopes will be pinned on this updated 2018 Subaru Liberty.The well-established sedan, now in its sixth generation, was the only major loser in a record sales year for the br& in 2017. The Liberty dropped 42 per cent year on year in a sub-$60K medium-car category that dipped 20 per cent.
The brand’s famously loyal customers were probably savvy enough to lớn note that an MY18 Mã Sản Phẩm was impending. There are certainly enough changes to lớn warrant the wait.
First, the styling.

It incorporates a TomTom navigation system, và new-for-2018 is điện thoại thông minh mirroring with the Liberty adopting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto lớn. The screen’s response to touches is good without quite fitting the ‘instantaneous’ description. Owners also get an Apps button directing khổng lồ a screen where they can customise their mirrored applications.



A Harman Kardon audio system continues as an exclusive for the 3.6R, which helps to justify the $6500 gap khổng lồ the 2.5i Premium along with the bigger engine and a third driving mode (Thể Thao Sharp).
There’s also a new arrangement for heating-ventilation controls, with buttons switching from silver to black & dials remaining for temperature control. A new-look steering wheel – still three-spoked but with smarter buttons và toggles (more gloss black) – thitruongxemay.completes the revised cabin.
