According to the Japanese automaker, the conceptachieves integration of apparently-opposing elements such as “environmental friendliness and driving performance” or “design and utility” at a high level.

Turbocharged engine

The Subaru Viziv 2 concept features a hybrid powertrain with a 1.6-litr turbocharged boxer four-cylinder engine combined with high-torque-compatible Lineartronic (CVT) with one front motor and two rear motors.

The components for the hybrid system such as a high voltage battery are installed while maintaining the Subaru’s unique Symmetrical AWD (All-Wheel drive) layout. Subaru promises this would deliver a good driveability based on low centre of gravity and weight balance.

The “Independent-rear-motor-driven symmetrical AWD” system is previewing thefuture generation of Subaru AWD technology, providing fine-tuned control of the four wheels to match the travel environment and road surface conditions.

Within, large circular lights serve to emphasize the image of an active crossover.

The rugged body framework has been incorporated as part of the design. The interior offers room for four passengers, whilecreating dynamic atmosphere for enjoyable driving experience.
