Confidence

comes from its core.

There are a number of reasons why Subaru drivers experience an unsurpassed
level of confidence behind the wheel – and it all comes down to our philosophy
and our core technology. This thinking begins with the Subaru symmetrical
full-time All-Wheel Drive system, which is standard on every 2012 Subaru
model. This world-class system links the SUBARU BOXER engine, transmission
and differentials symmetrically along the centreline of the vehicle, which sets
the stage for superb balance, nimble handling and genuine fun combined with
superior all-road, all-weather traction and control.
The immense benefits of the drivetrain layout are augmented by a long travel,
fully independent suspension system that helps ensure superior contact with
the surface of the road at all times, boosting driver confidence even further.
These technologies did not happen by chance. Rather, they are the result of
some four decades of diligent effort on the part of our engineers to give drivers
an experience behind the wheel that is far from typical. Thus, from a single
core philosophy – to inspire driver confidence – great things have emerged.
(And this is just the start.)
