The next-generation hybrid is equipped with a newly developed 2.5-liter horizontally-opposed engine and transaxle. It adopts a series-parallel system that efficiently uses either the engine or motor as the power source depending on the situation. The engine’s generous dynamic performance and smooth acceleration further enhance driving enjoyment. Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD delivers reliable driving and offroad performance thanks to precise control of the mechanically coupled front and rear wheels through the propeller shaft.
Moreover, the compact horizontally-opposed engine allows for, a large high-voltage battery and large-capacity fuel tank. The larger fuel tank and approximately 20% improvement in fuel consumption over the current hybrid system have achieved in a cruising range of over 1,000km on a single tank*1, the longest range of any Subaru vehicle in history. In addition, the extended EV driving also improved the quietness.
