Subaru‘s core technologies identify the Subaru brand and give you the
unique driving feel you can find only in a Subaru. These core systems
allow Subaru vehicles to live up to its standards in performance,
comfort, safety and reliability, while keeping its promise to deliver
enjoyment and peace of mind to all passengers.
SUBARU BOXER® Engine
A boxer engine or a horizontally opposed engine is an engine configuration in which
its pistons move toward each other in a horizontal direction. Subaru has been solely
committed to the SUBARU BOXER® engine for over 50 years for its many advantages
over other engine types, providing durability and reliable performance in its vehicles.
Long-lasting Performance
The engine‘s flat design is inherently rigid and self-balancing, generating less
vibration than other engine types.
Increased Stability
The low centre of gravity and flat design of the SUBARU BOXER® engine give the
Subaru Crosstrek better side-to-side stability than other engine types for improved
handling performance.
Symmetrical Full-Time All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD distributes power to all wheels for better traction
on wet and slippery roads. Laid out in a horizontally symmetrical plane, this system is
well-balanced, providing excellent power distribution side-to-side.
SUBARU GLOBAL
PLATFORM
The Subaru Global Platform (SGP) is the underlying platform
that will underpin the next generation of Subaru vehicles.
Enhancing all-around safety and performance, it goes beyond
better performance to offer a driving feel you can only find
in a Subaru. It‘s the future of Subaru—and delivers even more
enjoyment and peace of mind to all drivers and passengers.
1. More Fun to Drive
More responsive handling allows the driver to steer
the car as intended, increasing hazard avoidance. The
result is a vehicle that‘s safer and more fun to drive,
even on long trips. Even with its versatile high ground
clearance, the all-new Subaru Crosstrek handles
corners like a passenger car.
2. Ride Comfort
With improvements in chassis rigidity, suspension
and stabilizers, the all-new Crosstrek efficiently absorbs
shocks from rough roads and uneven surfaces, allowing
for more comfort and less fatigue on long drives.
Lineartronic® CVT + Active Torque Split AWD 3. Comfortable Cabin Space
The Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) adjusts to any ratio in its
range for seamless ratio changes that keep the engine in its most efficient range for
smooth acceleration, driving performance and better fuel efficiency. It comes paired
with Subaru‘s active torque split AWD system. Its default torque of 60% front and 40%
rear is adjusted up to a 50/50 split in response to real-time traction conditions. Unpleasant vibrations and noises have been minimized
to ensure all passengers enjoy the ride. Suspension
improvements and a highly rigid chassis allow for a
comfortable cabin interior for all.
