Subaru ' s core technologies define the Subaru brand and give you the unique driving feel you can only find in a Subaru. These core systems allow Subaru vehicles to live up to their standards in performance, comfort and safety while keeping its promise— to deliver enjoyment and peace of mind to all passengers.

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 40 years due to its many advantages over other engine types, including low centre of gravity and durability.

Long-lasting Performance

Inherently rigid and self-balancing, there ' s less vibration and more durability than other engine types.

Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time All-Wheel Drive efficiently distributes power to all wheels for better traction on wet and slippery roads. Laid out in a horizontally symmetrical plane, the system is well-balanced side-to-side, allowing for better optimized suspension designs, providing a more stable and safer ride.

Increased Stability

The low centre of gravity and flat design give it better side-to-side stability than other engine types.

The all-new Lineartronic ® CVT in the Impreza continually adjusts to any ratio in its range, keeping the engine in its optimal power band for efficient and smooth acceleration, driving performance and fuel-efficiency that rivals that of twowheel drive competitors. 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.

The all-new Subaru Global Platform( SGP) is the chassis that will underpin the next generation of Subaru vehicles. Setting new standards in safety and performance, it ' s the single biggest advancement in all-around performance. It goes beyond better safety performance to offer a driving feel you can only find in a Subaru. It ' s the future of Subaru, and it delivers even more enjoyment and peace of mind to all drivers and passengers.

2. Reduced Noise / Vibrations

3. Ride Comfort

A stronger frame structure and joints allow for increased torsional rigidity. It works to dampen vibrations throughout the body, including the cabin.

The suspension system absorbs shocks on uneven roads without overly flexing the body. The available rear stabilizers have been mounted directly on the chassis, reducing body-roll and vibrations for improved ride comfort and more control.
