CONFIDENCE YOU CAN FEEL.
ENGINEERING
YOU CAN TRUST.
Driving a Subaru is an experience unlike any other. It starts from Symmetrical
All-Wheel Drive and boxer engine, the foundation that forms the basis of
every Subaru. And each component and system that goes into a Subaru is
designed to enhance the control, stability and protection that you can sense
with every press of the pedal and turn of the wheel.
SUBARU BOXER ENGINE
Performance. Safety. Reliability. Power, and so much more. The unique confi guration of the SUBARU
BOXER engine helps lower the vehicle’s center of gravity. The result is more precise handling and
greater overall stability. And the layout of the pistons helps ensure greater durability, smoother
operation and effi cient power output.
ššššš AWARD-WINNING SAFETY
Every Subaru has been engineered to achieve the
highest possible crash test ratings.
1 That’s one of
the reasons why you’ll fi nd Subaru vehicles at
the top of numerous recommendation lists for
safe cars. But every Subaru was also designed to
provide the control, stability and active safety
features that can help you avoid collisions in the
fi rst place. So hopefully, you’ll never have to fi nd
out what those 5 stars really mean.
SUBARU SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
Its symmetrical design and ideal balance give you enhanced stability and quick response
to slippage, delivering greater traction for control and performance. Because we don’t
believe that driving pleasure and safety should be an optional feature, every Subaru
comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
