Starcom Australia and production company Sloane Media have collaborated with Subaru Australia for a new season of Great Australian Detour on Nine and 9Now.

This season features Subaru’s first all-electric SUV, the brand-new Solterra, and it promises to showcase some of Australia’s most beautiful landscapes and epic places.

Subaru’s Great Australian Detour is currently being broadcast on Nine every Saturday at 12.30 pm until 23 December.

Airing over nine episodes, the series sees Subaru Australia brand ambassador Andrew Daddo driving the Subaru Solterra to the Snowy Mountains and Far North Queensland to showcase the vehicle's versatility.

The show represents the second season of Subaru's Great Australian Detour, with last year’s instalment the most watched television program at that hour across all the Free-to-Air (FTA) networks.

Every Friday until 23 December, Fordham encourages NSW listeners to call in and share the best places they have discovered while on a road trip and go into the running to win an all-new Subaru Crosstrek SUV. A nationwide radio campaign is also running in other states to support the series.
