All wheels,

the time
Scientifically conceived. Rigorously
tested for the last 40 years. Subaru’s
iconic symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
system is the pinnacle of superior
Japanese technology. Technology
that sets you free.
CONFIDENCE UNDER ALL CONDITIONS
The sign of a true performer, is good balance. And when
it comes to driving a Subaru, superior balance equals
superior vehicle control. That’s why Subaru has built its
reputation on its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (SAWD)
system and a symmetrical drivetrain that deliver an
innate sense of balance from the ground up.
SAWD delivers engine power to all four wheels
simultaneously. Having power distributed across all four
wheels, rather than two on conventional vehicles, gives
you twice the grip capacity. So under acceleration there’s
more grip for cornering and more capacity to keep on track
through the corners. Ultimately, having the driving force

spread across all four wheels means greater control
and confidence.
The traction and control delivered by SAWD is further
enhanced by the Subaru XV’s suspension. The wide track
front suspension produces more responsive steering and
cornering, while the double wishbone rear suspension
ensures a smooth, controlled ride with outstanding
handling, comfort and quietness.
For you, the driver, it all adds up to an agile and responsive
vehicle with optimum balance, control and confidence in a
variety of driving conditions.
