Skills for life.
Working together to develop the next generation of safe, competent
and confident drivers for today’s roads.
The NXTGEN difference.
It’s not only the quality experience and options we offer but also how we conduct ourselves.
Relatable
Learning in the family SUV, lessons in our Subaru XV compact SUV will make these skills easily transferable.
Accessible
Need us to pick you up from home, school or work? We offer a pickup/drop off service in the Launceston area.
Simple
Our automatic transmission vehicle lets you keep both hands on the wheel and focus on the road while you drive.
Safety first.
We understand that, if you’re going to learn to drive safely, you’ll need a safe vehicle to learn in.
Our Subaru XV is an award-winning, all-wheel drive, compact SUV with premium features including 7 airbags, a leather interior, Eyesight Driver Assist technology and a lane departure warning system.
*The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) gives consumers consistent information on the level of occupant protection provided by vehicles in serious front and side crashes.
