Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

Subaru has been a champion of symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) for over 30 years. The long-standing commitment has given us the advantage in refining the technology even further - the symmetrical AWD system is one of our engineers’ crowning achievements.

The combination of the horizontally opposed Subaru Boxer engine, the symmetrical drive train and symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system means outstanding balance and more control in a wide variety of situations. This intelligent system achieves this with its lower centre of gravity and continuous distribution of power to all four wheels. The feeling is of safety, security and fun.

Passionate Performers

Rallying is the most demanding form of motorsport in the world. Brutally tough on cars and crews alike, it’s the ideal testing ground for the All-Wheel Drive excellence and engineering integrity of Subaru. We see it as a mobile laboratory that helps hone technology, which filters through to our road cars. From Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) to high performance turbocharged engines, the Subaru World Rally Team is an integral part of the testing regime, underscoring our reputation for durable, reliable and dynamic cars.
