Uncommon Sense

What makes a Subaru a Subaru?

Of the many different reasons to choose a car, the Subaru difference might be the best reason of all, something we commonly refer to as ‘Uncommon Sense’. Such revered and unique interpretations of poise, handling, smoothness and build quality ensure all roads lead to the very pinnacle of car/driver engagement.

We consider our Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD), innovative engineering, inherently present active safety principles and perfectly balanced, intelligent handling to be the key tenets of safe, confident & engaging driving; never an option, always a given. But you don’t need to be an engineer to appreciate what makes a Subaru different, you’ll feel it the first time you drive one, a place where intangible emotions run riot, safe in the knowledge they’re rooted to proven, rigidly held principles of engineering.

Uplifting as it is uncommon, it will leave you pondering why all cars aren’t built this way.

A balance of virtues make a Subaru unlike other cars and Uncommon Sense means every part of a Subaru has one thing in common - symmetry.

• Permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system.

• Drive train positioned in a straight line paired to the compact, low-vibration, horizontally opposed Subaru BOXER engine.
• Subaru BOXER engines mirror the action of a boxer’s punch, literally. The pistons lie low and horizontal rather than the more common vertical position so the engine isn’t as tall giving it a lower centre of gravity and near perfect equal balance. Additionally, the opposing piston motions counteract each other to reduce vibration and the whole engine unit sits lower to reduce roll on corners giving a responsible, predictable and ultimately safe driving experience. 
• Dynamic Chassis Control Concept delivers balance, composure & response by transferring the maximum amount of power and torque to the road surface at any given time. 
• Build quality is paramount, earning Subaru a reputation for reliability, rigidity and longevity achieved through using high-tensile steel in critical areas giving optimum strength but with less weight.

So you see, from whichever angle you look at a Subaru, it always delivers driving exhilaration with total composure in perfectly deliberate, equal measures.

UNLIKE ANY OTHER RANGE OF CARS.

Unlike other cars, the entire Subaru range promises you the best of both worlds – ultimate driveability with utmost peace of mind in all driving conditions. 

From the sporty yet practical Impreza to the intrepid Outback, you’ll find the same enduring traits in every car we build. From the rugged yet refined nature of the Forester to the elegantly styled, capacious Legacy.

Whether you’re conquering the most demanding terrain or deftly negotiating rush-hour traffic, weekends spent in the great outdoors or just the humdrum of the school run, you’ll find a Subaru geared precisely to your every want and need.
