2015 Subaru Viviz 2 Design Review
2015 Subaru Viviz 2 Design Review
2015 Subaru Viviz 2 Review
2015 Subaru Viviz 2 Design Review- The most recent adaptation of the two-entryway hybrid has been upgraded with another front end that increases sharp headlights, round LED mist lights and a three-brace grille with a hexagonal edge, Subaru has uncovered its most recent Subaru VIZIV 2 idea at the Geneva Motor Show. The name VIZIV is gotten from the expression "vision for development."
Featuring a four doors body that offers both utility and an energetic lodge, Subaru VIZIV 2 is fueled by a module crossover framework that uses a 1.6-liter Horizontally-Opposed Direct Injection Turbocharged (DIT) motor, joined with high torque-perfect Lineartronic (CVT), with one front engine and two back engines. Segments for the mixture framework incorporate a high voltage battery, while it keeps up Subaru's interesting Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) format, conveying eminent driveability, in view of the low focal point of gravity and predominant weight circulation.
2015 Subaru Viviz Design
Subaru has been toughening routine models for trail obligation since the first Outback 20 years prior, yet the Subaru Viziv 2 swaps the delicate plastic body moldings for carbon fiber—and its all over the place. One of the things that we truly loved, however undoubtedly will change is the expansive 20 inch. It offers a fabulous appearance on this auto, however we feel that Subaru will doubtlessly need to scale them down, if the higher trim levels will be accessible still may be an alternative. The bumper and wheel embeds, rocker boards, front and back valences, and three-bar grille all game the popular dark stuff. The Gatling-weapon style LED haze lights reproduced at the back, as though they were fumes funnels releasing electrons—add a cool sparkle to an auto that, from the side, helps us to remember the withdrew Volvo C30.
2015 Subaru Viviz 2 Design Review
In the same way as other present day ideas, the Subaru Viziv 2 searches about prepared for generation. That is the situation inside, as well, where the dashboard's hard focuses and fundamental structure suggest a sleeker adaptation of, say, the XV Crosstrek. In the event that you markdown the yellow glowsticks wedged noticeable all around vents, the CIA-spec route showcase, and what look to be lovely thrown aluminum pedals, the Viziv 2 can possibly achieve merchant parcels.
2015 Subaru Viviz 2 Engine Performance
The Subaru Viziv 2 associate the front and back axles with programming rather than a driveshaft. In the engine is Subaru's JDM-spec 1.6-liter turbocharged level four with direct infusion, evaluated at 168 strength and 184 lb-ft of torque, combined with an electric engine and a Lineartronic CVT. Out back are two extra electric engines that can autonomously vector torque to each one wheel and are controlled by a halfway mounted lithium-particle battery pack.
Subaru was mum on further powertrain specs of Viviz 2, ach one wheel will be dealt with as autonomous and accordingly we will get the best conceivable control and torque circulation. It's not all in light of the fact that we have an extensive number of self-ruling driving innovation is conveyed with this hybrid. There are no points of interest of what will be offered in a production prepared version.

2011 Subaru Legacy
It's easy to be a copycat. You don't have to think as much and there's less risk of failure. Remaking a known commodity like the "A-Team," for instance, has a better shot of bringing in $500 million than an indie film. The same goes for the midsize family sedan segment, which consists of seemingly countless vehicles that play it safe by riffing on the same formula. One notable exception, however, is the 2011 Subaru Legacy.
For years now, the Legacy has resolutely kept beat with its own drummer, and the current car is little different. While nearly everything else goes with the surefire formula of front-wheel drive and a choice of either inline-4 or V6 power plants, the Legacy keeps on rocking its standard all-wheel-drive and horizontally opposed four- and six-cylinder engines, including one that's turbocharged. Then there's the styling, which has always stood out from the crowd -- for better or worse. Despite setting itself apart in such key areas, however, the Subaru Legacy is still a viable family sedan, with top crash test scores, decent four-cylinder fuel economy and comfortable driving dynamics.
However, some of the Legacy's quirks do have downsides. Standard all-wheel drive has obvious traction benefits in poor weather, but the associated mechanical inefficiencies keep the Legacy from being as competitive in fuel economy and acceleration as it could. The turbocharged 2.5GT isn't available with an automatic transmission, which limits its widespread appeal. Also, increasingly common electronic features like Bluetooth, iPod control and navigation are either haphazardly designed or only available in the top-of-the line Limited model with navigation.
Certainly, being a bit different means the Legacy is unlikely to ever match the mighty Accord and Camry for sales supremacy, but it does mean that it has burrowed out a little niche for itself. Still, there are others to consider. The Ford Fusion and Suzuki Kizashi also offer all-wheel-drive, while the Mazda 6 is a good choice for driving enthusiasts. The new Hyundai Sonata is also a class-leading, well-rounded family sedan. Yet, if you're the sort of person who doesn't automatically follow the crowd, the 2011 Subaru Legacy is a solid, non-conformist choice.
The Legacy's interior design is sleek and sophisticated, but you better like silver paint, because the center stack is covered with it. Though the interior plastics look upscale, most of them are hard to the touch and lack the more premium feel found in models such as the Ford Fusion.
The seats are comfortable and the Legacy's provide plenty of headroom and rear seat legroom. In terms of technology, iPod control and streaming Bluetooth audio are available, but you have to ante up for the top-of-the-line Limited trim in order to get it. We've also noticed the nav system's functionality is hampered by fussy controls and small touchscreen icons. You should also note that sound quality from the base sound system is poor and we highly recommend the available Harman Kardon upgrade system. Trunk space is an average 14.7 cubic feet.
Outside, the 2010 model is much more assertive than the outgoing car, which itself was a bit of a shrinking violet. After the departure of designer Andreas Zapatinas and his Edselian B9 Tribeca, the Pleiades brand seemed to lose a bit of its design nerve and the will to create a unified corporate face. But now, it finally seems to be seeking out its mojo once again with this new Legacy.
We're not entirely sure this is a good thing, as the Legacy has gone from understated confidence to a jumble of incomplete ideas (Chrysler Sebring hawkeye headlamps, chrome-happy "wing" grille, hulking flared fenders to emphasize the car's all-wheel drive) that fail to live in complete harmony with each other. We'll leave final judgment up to you, only with the knowledge that the whole package looks better on the street than it does in photos (particularly when fitted with larger alloys that don't get lost in the cartoonishly overemphasized wells) and our divisiveness towards it softened over time. Thankfully, Subaru sales have never been predicated on beautiful sheetmetal, and we can't see this model being any different.
Open up the wider-angle, newly-framed doors (the old, rattle-prone sashless jobbies are gone), and a significantly larger and much-improved interior awaits. Dominating the instrument panel is a silver-effect center stack topped with a birdbath-like information display. The vertical array houses the usual complement of audio and HVAC controls (along with an eight-inch navigation screen if so-optioned), and it has a deep storage pocket for odds-n-ends. Plastics are nicely grained and solid fit-and-finish was in evidence, but greater use of soft-touch surfaces and more sincere-looking faux wood trim on Limited models wouldn't go amiss.
All the controls are easy to reach and intuitive to use, with the exception of a too-crowded and too-low panel that houses the power mirror controls, electronic parking brake, hillholder and traction control defeat buttons, trunk release, gauge brightness control, and a couple of odd-looking blanks. It's simple enough to use once you get the hang of it, but we'd prefer to see the parking brake located on the center console and a larger, separate trunk release. We were a bit surprised not to see the availability of some sort of keyless start system, but as they're often more trouble than they're worth, the absence isn't worth grousing over.
In addition to its obviously heightened quality, the big story with the 2010's interior is its newfound space. In particular, rear accommodations are now genuinely large, with an extra four inches of legroom thanks to the longer wheelbase and deeply scooped-out front seatbacks. Our six-foot, five-inch co-driver had no trouble getting comfortable, and even when he was in situ, there was plenty of knee- and toe-room left behind him for full-grown adults. Total EPA volume is up by 9% to 117.7 cubic feet and betters that of the Toyota Camry and Volkswagen Passat, while trunk space swells by 29% to 14.7 cubic feet (more capacity than Honda's larger Accord).
At the bottom of the lineup, the 2.5i continues with a mostly carryover 2.5-liter, 170-horsepower four-cylinder. Subaru says that a new resin-based intake manifold lowers the engine's weight and improves low-end torque, which stands at 170 lb-ft. -- now at 4,000 rpm versus 4,400 rpm before. Subaru also says that improved cooling and a revised catalyst will boost fuel economy figures above the 20/27 (manual) and 18/25 (automatic) before. The 2.5i will now come standard with a six-speed manual (versus a five-speed in 2009) and it will offer a CVT automatic rather than the four-speed conventional automatic from before.
The 2.5GT features a revised 2.5-liter turbocharged boxer four with 265-horsepower and 258 lb-ft (a 22 horse and 17 lb-ft. improved over the old model). A modified turbocharger and a reduction in rpms required for peak torque -- the torque curve is flat from 2,000 rpm to 5,600 rpm, Subaru says -- make it both faster and more efficient than before. A six-speed manual and five-speed automatic remain available.
At the top of the range, the 3.6R model gets an uprated version of the 3.0-liter flat-six previously offered. Subaru says that the 3.6-liter six, which now uses regular fuel, puts out 256-horsepower and 247 lb-ft. of torque (compared to 245/215 from the outgoing engine). It�€™ll be paired to a five-speed automatic exclusively.
The CVT in the 2.5i, which is expected to make up the bulk of sales if historical figures are to be considered, is the first longitudinally-mounted CVT system in an all-wheel-drive car.
Every 2011 Legacy comes standard with stability and traction control, antilock disc brakes, front side airbags and side curtain airbags. In Edmunds brake testing, the 2.5i came to a stop from 60 mph in a good distance of 121 feet and the 3.6R was in the same ballpark. The 2.5GT stopped in an excellent 111 feet.
In the government's new, more strenuous crash testing for 2011, the Legacy earned an overall rating of four stars out of a possible five, with four stars for overall frontal crash protection and four stars for overall side crash protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also gave the Legacy its perfect score of "Good" in the frontal-offset, side and roof strength tests.

2011 Subaru Forester
Much of Subaru's success has stemmed from its skill at meeting the needs of very specific -- and very dedicated -- groups of car buyers. Models like the Outback have traditionally been aimed at people wanting something civilized enough for mundane urban travel, yet rugged enough for snow and light off-roading, while sport sedans like the WRX were intended for driving enthusiasts. More recently, though, the brand has been making an effort to offer vehicles that attract a broader, more mainstream audience. The 2011 Subaru Forester is a perfect example.
The typical crossover buyer will find his needs nicely met by the latest Forester, which was last redesigned three years ago. There's enough room in its attractive-looking cabin to carry passengers in comfort; the rear seat is especially spacious and plush. The cargo capacity is among the largest in the segment. And finally, this crossover also delivers a smooth, comfortable ride.
But the Forester hasn't forsaken the great outdoors. With a class-leading 8.7 inches of ground clearance and standard all-wheel drive, this crossover is a natural fit for poor weather or light-duty off-road trails. The Forester is also one of the few small crossovers to offer a turbocharged engine, which could hold particular appeal for people who often drive at high altitudes.
Even so, shoppers on the hunt for a compact or midsize crossover get to choose from a wealth of very strong contenders. With sportier handling than the Forester, the Hyundai Tucson and Mazda CX-7 are likely better picks for people who really like to drive, while the Toyota RAV4 offers a gutsy engine (the optional V6) and available third-row seating. Other top choices include the impressive Chevrolet Equinox and refined Honda CR-V. Still, with its wide range of talents, the Forester certainly deserves a place on your consideration list.
Interior quality has never been Subaru's strength, and the Forester needs work. Cabin materials improve on the Escape's industrial plastics, but other competitors — particularly the Chevy Equinox, Journey and Honda CR-V — have handsomer finishes and more appealing controls. The Forester's feel a generation old: a crummy headliner, undersized stereo knobs and a flimsy keyfob.
Our test car's leather seats were supportive during twisty roads and highway cruising alike, but the driver's seat needs a longer adjustment range. At 5-foot-11, I could have used another inch or two of rearward travel. Legroom and headroom in the backseat is good, but the seat could sit a bit higher off the floor — an issue that dogs many small crossovers. There's also a footwell-robbing center floor hump in back, something many other crossovers avoid.
The Subaru Forester comes with plenty of standard features. However, some reviewers complain that it doesn't offer as many high-tech gadgets as competitors – and the ones that it does offer, such as a navigation system, don’t measure up.
The base Forester comes standard with a single-disc CD player, auxiliary audio input jack, air conditioning, cruise control, a manual height-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, a tilt-adjustable steering column, rear seat heater ducts, and a rear window wiper/washer.
To get the optional navigation system and premium stereo system, you’ll have to upgrade to the next trim, the 2.5X Limited. For 2011, the navigation system is a new unit, which may help erase reviewer’s complaints about the old system. Bluetooth is newly standard for all trims but the base 2011 model. Also, the new-for-2011 2.5X touring trim has upscale features like dual-zone climate control and a rearview camera.
Subaru's full-time all-wheel drive powers all four wheels all the time, helping the crossover claw its way through muck that stops part-time all-wheel-drive systems cold. It's only after driving other crossovers through heavy snow near our Chicago offices — or, more accurately, going nowhere at all in a few of them — that I fully appreciate the Forester's resilience. An impressive 8.7 inches of ground clearance (8.9 inches with the turbo) really helps when you're trying to get through the deep stuff.
Appreciated all year-round are the Forester's sight lines, which are free of the descending rooflines, tiny rear-quarter windows and massive roof pillars seen elsewhere. The Forester easily won a blind-spot evaluation among small crossovers two years ago, and I'm confident it would still win against today's competition.
The rectangular cargo area offers a modest 30.8 cubic feet behind the backseat and 63.0 cubic feet when that seat is folded down. Both figures are at the low end of the segment. Without the Forester's headroom-robbing panoramic moonroof, the base 2.5X has a more competitive 33.5 and 68.3 cubic feet, respectively.
Every Subaru comes with standard all-wheel drive, and the Forester is no different. The 2.5X models are powered by a 2.5-liter horizontally opposed (flat) four-cylinder engine that makes 170 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. The XT trims feature a turbocharged variant that produces 224 hp and 226 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on the 2.5X and 2.5X Premium, with a four-speed automatic offered as an option. The automatic is the only transmission available on the 2.5X Limited, 2.5XT Premium, 2.5X Touring and 2.5XT Touring.
With both the manual and automatic transmissions, 2.5X models earn EPA ratings of 21 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, or exactly what you'd get from the similarly powered AWD Honda CR-V. 2.5X models sold in states with more stringent emissions standards earn a squeaky-clean PZEV rating. With the XT's turbocharged engine, fuel economy dips to 19 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined.
The federal government hasn't tested the 2011 Subaru Forester, but gave the 2010 model top five-star scores for driver and passenger protection in frontal crash tests as well as front- and rear-seat occupant protection in side crash tests. They also give it a four-star rollover score, which means the Forester has just a 17 percent risk of rollover in a single vehicle crash.
The insurance industry gives the Forester top scores of "Good" in frontal, side impact and rear crash tests. It even earned a score of "Good" in roof strength tests and was named a 2011 "Top Safety Pick."
The Forester comes standard with four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, Vehicle Dynamics Control, Traction Control System, driver’s and front passenger’s airbags, side-curtain airbags for front and rear outboard occupants, and front seat-mounted side-impact airbags. A rearview camera isn’t offered, but one may not be needed -- test drivers say visibility is excellent. reference:usnews.rankingsandreviews.com,www.edmunds.com,www.cars.com

2015 Subaru Impreza Review
2015 Subaru Impreza Price and Review- The 2015 Subaru Impreza lineup keeps on offerring the main standard all-wheel drive in the portion, fit as a fiddle of either a four-entryway car or a five-entryway hatchback. What's more in the not so distant future the Impreza gets a revive that incorporates new front-end styling, enhanced infotainment, new exceptional wellbeing choices, and better mileage. These progressions ought to make the Impreza somewhat most beauty and interest, even to the everybody who experience bad climate and soil streets just periodically.
2015 Subaru Impreza Design
For 2015, Subaru Impreza car and seal both get new front-end styling. The grille, front guard, and headlights have all been supplanted with comparably formed pieces; the progressions are unobtrusive to make certain, however they creep the Impreza models closer to the Legacy/Outback search for more equality among the brand's models. Vehicles likewise get a standard trunk-mounted lip spoiler and also a LED-enlightened third brake light. Along the sides, misrepresented wheel curves nod to the Outback, additionally serve to separate the tallness of the flanks. The main frustrating region of the Impreza is the side perspective of the front bumpers, where the wheels show up a size excessively little for the tall cowl and considerable front shade. The 2015 model gets another side-perspective mirror outline that should enhance air motion; higher trim levels incorporate transform signal repeaters incorporated into the mirror tops.
2015 Subaru Impreza Price and Review
The mellow update incorporates new headlamps, grille, and guard. The progressions are unpretentious, however they creep the Impreza closer to the look of the bigger Impreza car. Car models likewise now get a trunk-mounted lip spoiler and also a LED-lit third brake light. The general shape is recognizable from a year ago; both the portal and car have an upright look with purposeful, stout styling components. The inside stays expansive for the class, with back seats that overlay level for better payload taking care of. There's additionally a helpful assortment of receptacles, trays, cubbies, etc. For 2015, Subaru guarantees thicker side glass, which ought to address our one genuine protest with the lodge; past models let a lot street clamor in on a few surfaces. The 2015 autos likewise should have enhanced inside materials.
2015 Subaru Impreza Engine
The standard motor is a 2.0-liter, on a level plane contradicted four-barrel that makes 148 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque. That isn't about enough snort to get the 2015 Subaru Impreza moving with much energy, actually when it is furnished with the five-pace manual transmission (a constantly variable transmission is the option). Amid our long haul test of an Impreza wagon with the manual, we portrayed the powertrain as "an enormous heap of meh." It's additionally an incredible boisterous motor, as we've noted in various audits. Shockingly, on the other hand, mileage is phenomenal. The EPA rates the Impreza 2.0i vehicle and wagon at 27 mpg city and 36 interstate with the CVT. With the manual transmission, Impreza 2.0i vehicles get 25/34, and wagons attain 25/33. We saw 28 mpg general amid our 41,000 miles in the driver's seat no little deed. The uplifting news is that, paying little heed to powertrain, the Impreza has praiseworthy hold in all climate, and its directing is light and exact. Joined with its generally low mass and low focus of gravity—in any event among all-wheel-drive cars the Impreza shows genuinely respectable taking care of.
2015 Subaru Impreza Price
We have got no detail information about the real price of 2015 Subaru Impreza, however, we expecting the pricing stays obscure right now from the $18,690 to $23,990 of the 2014 model range.
2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek | Review, Price, Interior, Exterior, Engine
welcome to Neonista.blogspot.com website that provides a variety of information about the latest cars in the world. and this time we will share information about the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek, the following information
For years, Europeans have ridiculed American buyers for their SUV addiction, but small-SUV sales are booming on the Continent right now. The new XV Crosstrek was conceived as a way for Subaru to capitalize on the trend, its tidy dimensions making it ideal for tight European roads. When U.S. dealers saw the XV, though, they loved it and convinced Subaru brass that it would be a hit with young urban families stateside. Here, it will be known as the XV Crosstrek.
Jesse James has called the Teutuls of Orange County Choppers fame “cake decorators,” alleging that their products are just flashy eye candy and not true customs. He might level the same barb at the XV’s engineers, as the model is really just a lifted Impreza hatchback with new bumpers, some fender cladding, and unique wheels. That’s the same basic formula Subaru followed to create the Impreza-based Outback Sport.
2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Price :
Subaru has announced pricing for its new 2013 XV Crosstrek. The quasi crossover starts at $21,995 for the Premium trim, while a Limited model carries an MSRP of $24,495 (*not including a destination charge of $795). The XV Crosstrek is essentially a high water Impreza five door with a little extra cladding and ground clearance. Listed at 8.7 inches to be exact, the ground clearance is a healthy three inches greater than the standard Impreza.
The 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek, the latest addition to the Japanese automaker’s all-wheel-drive crossover stable, starts at $22,790, including a $795 destination charge, according to Subaru.com. The XV Crosstrek is slated to arrive in showrooms in the fall. The top of the line 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek 2.0i Limited starts at $25,290, including shipping.
2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Interior :
The Subaru XV Crosstrek comes standard with a six-speaker stereo that features a USB port, auxiliary input and Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity. Options include a navigation system and power moonroof, while the higher Limited trim adds automatic climate control and a backup camera standard. Few reviewers have commented on the 2013 XV Crosstrek’s interior features. However, many say that its interior is basically the same as the Subaru Impreza’s. One test driver compliments the XV Crosstrek for its straightforward climate and stereo controls, while another mentions the stereo’s excellent sound quality.
+. Interior Features :
>. Flexible cargo area.
>. Bluetooth® hands free connectivity.
>. Available power tilt / sliding moonroof.
>. Available voice activated GPS navigation.
>. 6 speaker audio system with available SirusXM™ Satellite Radio.
The 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek is a five passenger crossover available in 2.0i Premium and 2.0i Limited trim levels. Standard equipment on the 2.0i Premium includes 17 inch alloy wheels, roof rails, heated mirrors, a windshield wiper de-icer, air conditioning, full power accessories, cruise control, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, heated front seats, a 60/40 split folding rear seat, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming and a six speaker audio system with CD player, USB port and auxiliary jack.
2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Exterior :
Here’s where the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek is a “different” Subaru. A great deal of attention was paid to the exterior design of the XV Crosstrek, and I commend Subaru on their efforts. While it’s not a complete departure from the Subaru line (as the BRZ seems to be) it’s different enough to turn heads and the right heads.
Targeted at Gen Y buyers (and those who are also considering the MINI Cooper Countryman and Nissan Juke), the XV Crosstrek is a woodsman in ubranite attire. Sleeker than an Outback and beefier than an Impreza, the XV Crosstrek strikes a pleasant balance between off roader and city dweller. It’s fancy without being impractical, and functional without being brutish. High wheel wells, a 220 mm ground clearance and practical roof rails mean this Subaru can pretty much go anywhere, and look good while it does as long as it’s not sitting on those horribly angular, flower y rims.
The 2.0i Limited adds automatic headlights, automatic climate control, leather upholstery, the rearview camera and the same six-speaker audio system found on the Premium but with the addition of a 4.3-inch LCD display. The sunroof and a navigation system (with satellite radio) are also available for the 2.0i Limited.
+. Exterior Features :
>. Symmetrical All Wheel Drive.
>. 2.0 liter DOHC SUBARU BOXER® engine.
>. 17 inch aluminum alloy wheels.
>. Raised roof rails.
>. Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC).
>. Available Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Engine :
Although three trim levels are available on the XV Crosstrek (Touring, Sport Package and Limited Package), the engine will remain the same throughout: the 2.0L BOXER four cylinder that produces 148 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque. Two transmissions are also available: a 5 speed manual and an updated, much improved CVT that comes with standard equipped paddle shifters on the steering wheel (thank you Subaru for that one).
Starting at $22,790 including delivery, the XV Crosstrek lets customers choose a smaller crossover experience that boasts 8.7 inces of ground clearance, which is three more than its Impreza platform donor. The car will also get a stiffer suspension, though the same 2.0 liter Boxer engine as the Impreza still sits under the hood with 148 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque.
Set to arrive on the U.S. market this fall, the car could stand to rival several larger crossovers like the Mazda CX-5. Yet the car isn’t quite a crossover, as is the case with much of the automaker’s lineup. Realistically, the car is a replacement for what the Outback used to be, though with significantly more ground clearance. For example, the third generation Outback (built from 2998 to 2003) sat 7.3 inches above the road except for the L.L. Bean package which got an extra half inch.

2013 Subaru WRX STI Review,Price,Interior,Exterior
After its recently revealed "Motion V" program was announced late last year, Subaru bosses arranged a special briefing for potential investors. At that meeting, senior staffers laid out a road map of what models and new technologies would be unveiled up to 2015.
It started with the all-new Impreza of last year, the BRZ and Forester which will go on sale this year, the Exiga minivan in 2013, the all-new WRX (which will diverge from the Impreza platform) and a brand new sport wagon for 2014, and the all-new Legacy in 2015.
Of note on the technology side is a new direct injection turbocharged engine slated for introduction by the end of this year. And that's just part of Subaru's powertrain plans.
Aside from a name change, the 2013 Subaru WRX will get an all-new platform to call home, along with a new engine underhood. Subaru is dropping "Impreza" from the WRX nameplate, but will continue building the car from the Impreza platform. Subaru wants to distinguish the Impreza as its mainstream small car offering while highlighting the WRX's gravel-spitting, rally-racing heritage. As such, the new WRX will likely ride on a slightly shorter wheelbase and use lighter-weight suspension components and unique suspension geometry for enhanced performance handling.
The 2013 WRX will use a new turbocharged 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder engine that, while a half-liter smaller, will make more power than the engine in the current model. Aided by direct injection, the new four-cylinder should make close to 270 horsepower and, coupled with the new WRX's expected weight loss, help achieve better fuel economy than the current model's 19 mpg city/25 mpg highway. Expect a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive to come standard.
This is likely to be related to the existence of a powerful and highly efficient new 1.6-litre unit that will debut at Geneva next month and is set to replace the well-regarded 2.2-litre diesel used on several European-market Hondas.
Mr Senior said he expected Impreza volume to remain steady despite the arrival of the fourth-generation model.
This is largely due to pressure on the factory, which is operating at 100 per cent capacity and working hard to satisfy exceptionally high demand for the new XV, more than 650 of which were sold locally in the two weeks immediately following its launch last month.

2015 Subaru BRZ Price and Design
2015 Subaru BRZ Price and Design
2015 Subaru BRZ Review
2015 Subaru BRZ Price and Design- The Subaru BRZ has been around since the 2013 model year and right up 'til today, there's still little confirmation that Suby is readied to make an all the more compelling adaptation of the games auto. BRZ accompanies a game tuned suspension for lively driving elements which makes for an unpleasant ride over rate knocks and harsh streets. This Series.Blue analyzer accompanies 17-inch STI Black completion wheels with 215/45 R17 summer execution tires which could add to the rougher ride and some wind commotion at higher velocities. However where the this back commute car exceeds expectations is by and large greatly decently adjusted in the corners where we felt about no body move while taking tight mountain corners west of Denver at high velocity. There is a 5 mile curvy stretch of mountain street where we gave the games roadster a decent test.
2015 Subaru BRZ Design
