Design FeaturesTo express the distinctive enjoyment of driving a Subaru, the VIZIV Performance Concept
draws on previous models symbolizing the Subaru driving experience: the Legacy, which
defined Subaru as a drivers’car, the Impreza, which took the World Rally Championship by
storm, and the WRX, which still dominates motor racing around the world. Based on Subaru’s
shared “Dynamic × Solid” design philosophy, this next-generation sports sedan encapsulates
driving enjoyment.
Driving performance is highlighted by a rigid, forward-thrusting body with low center of
gravity, the dynamic flare of the fenders, the use of carbon fiber parts in the bumpers, fenders,
and roof, and the bold glimpse of the exhaust in the rear bumper.
The three-dimensional form of the front grill flanked by hawkeye headlights hints at the boxer
engine they conceal, and muscular fenders on all four corners of the body testify to the
reliability of the Symmetrical AWD. Maintaining consistency with previous Subaru concept cars
and production models, the VIZIV Performance Concept embodies the Subaru powertrain,
which is part of the brand’s identity.
Advanced Driver-Assist Technologies Subaru has teamed advanced driver-assist technologies scheduled for launch around 2020 with the high performance offered by the boxer engine and Symmetrical AWD to create a sports sedan symbolizing the Enjoyment and Peace of Mind to be expected of its cars. By also incorporating further enhancements to EyeSight driver-assist technology, radar, and highly accurate GPS and navigation systems, Subaru continues to pursue ultimate levels of safety in the aim of eliminating automobile accidents.
