Subaru Legacy Wagon JDM, 2010

Subaru Legacy Wagon JDM, 2010

Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, announced the launch of the fully redesigned Subaru Legacy series across Subaru dealerships in Japan.

Under the product concept of "Grand Touring Innovation", the fifth-generation new Legacy offers a comfortable passenger compartment and excellent environmental considerations, while further enhancing its unique driving performance and safety, featuring Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) with a Horizontally-Opposed (BOXER) engine as Subaru's core technology.

Concept

In addition to focussing on enhancing "Driver's fun", a key value carried on consistently since the first generation, the new Legacy was developed to create new values such as "Passenger's fun" and "Eco performance", under the concept of "Grand Touring and Innovation".

* Driver's fun - Superior driveability and the enjoyment of driving which have been pursued since its first introduction.

* Passenger's fun - Spacious and comfortable compartment for all passengers to enjoy while driving.
* Eco performance - Confidence in driving and safety with enhanced environmental considerations.

Exterior

With boldness and presence as a theme, newly designed exterior evokes not only comfortable and ample passenger compartment, but also Legacy's sporty look and high functionality.

Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon: Best balance of functionality and comfortable interior space. B4 (Sedan): Legacy's sportiness inherited from the predecessor. Outback: Enhanced image of boldness and toughness.
For Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon and Outback, the D-pillars were re-envisioned to project freshness, with Legacy's characteristics maintained.
Chrome mouldings around the windows accentuate presence with a quality feel.

Interior

The new interior design imparts a feeling of spaciousness and comfort as well as quality emphasized by shading expressions and material texture.
The seats with wide seating surface and redesigned cushions excel in comfort and support. By increasing the amount of slide and lift of the driver's seat, settings can be more finely tuned to better meet drivers' needs.

Audio and Navigation
Two settings are available for manufacturer equipped options: LEGACY premium sound system with acoustic field tuning, designed specifically for Legacy, and LEGACY McIntosh sound system.
HDD navigation supporting G-BOOK ALPHA is equipped with high-definition VGA8 inch monitor and rear view camera.

2.5-litre SOHC engine
Displacement from the existing 2.0-litre was increased by 500 cc, achieving smooth and comfortable driving with lower-range torque.

2.5-litre DOHC turbo engine
Displacement from the existing 2.0-litre was increased by 500 cc. The peak torque is sustained smoothly from 2,000 rpm to the higher rpm ranges to realize superior driving performance.
The turbocharger unit was placed directly under the forward part of the engine. This layout increases response with smoother turbo-charging and improves fuel economy.
The exhaust system layout including the catalytic converter was optimized, enhancing the exhaust emission control performance.

3.6-litre DOHC engine
Featuring an increased displacement from the existing 3.0-litre engine without significantly growing in size, the new 3.6-litre engine offers excellent driving performance and environmental friendliness with smooth revolution performance and ample torque from the lower rpm ranges. It is also economical by using regular grade fuel.

Transmission - Lineartronic
A chain-type variator (main speed variator) was adopted. The compact design provides legroom in the front seats, while the fuel economy was improved especially in the over-drive range through excellent transfer efficiency.

Transmission - E-5AT
E-5AT with high-density control and a smooth gearshift feeling was adopted. Friction and weight were reduced internally, improving the fuel economy.
The improved downshift blipping control enhances the gearshift response in manual mode. Smooth downshift contributes to reducing shocks when shifting gear.
6-speed manual transmission

Chassis
In line with "Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept" (Subaru DC3), chassis and body were further advanced to provide a feeling of reliable, comfortable and superior driveability.
A new engine cradle was newly designed as a powertrain mounting system. It not only helps reducing noise and providing more refined ride and stability, but also improves front impact safety.
Strut type and double-wish bone type suspensions are used respectively for the front and rear. Excellent driveability and smooth ride comfort were achieved not only through the installation of the front suspension arm to the cradle, but also through the damper structure modification and the optimized geometry.

Body
Use of high-tensile steel in critical body parts contributes to weight reduction and higher overall rigidity.
The cradle structure mounting characteristics provide lightweight, sufficient strength and rigidity around the front body, providing excellent handling control and stability.

Safety
For front impact, the engine cradle frame folds inwards and causes the power unit to slide downwards, thus creating a greater zone of protection for the cabin space. In addition, the structure allows the main frame to absorb the impact more efficiently.
For side impact, the high-tensile steel is used inside the B-pillars and side sills. The energy produced on rear impact is effectively absorbed through the optimized frame construction.
SRS driver's and passenger's airbags, SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are installed (except for 2.5i and 2.5GT).
Newly designed high-strength front seat frames and energy-absorbing headrests provide enhanced protection against whiplash injury in rear-end collision.

Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept, 2009

With the Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept, Subaru has condensed its DNA, developed over many years around the Subaru's core technology of "Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD)" and "Horizontally-Opposed Boxer Engine", into the integration of a luxurious and high-quality cabin atmosphere and an eye-catching sculpted body. The Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept features Subaru's latest evolutions in handling agility, riding comfort and superior safety performance. It proposes Subaru's vision of a future grand touring car that excels in environmental friendliness thanks to Subaru's unique hybrid system.

The Exterior
Subaru imagined wings with a feeling of freedom and confidence for driving far and wide in any environment. A luxurious and comfortable cabin, and advanced driving performance are contained within a sculpted aerodynamic form. The design features a combination of bright, open glass areas with a solid, reliable body.

The Interior
The original point of the ideal grand touring car is its interior design, featuring four independent and comfortably positioned seats. Passengers are enclosed within an atmosphere that provides a surpassing feeling of openness and stress-free reassurance, through the further pursuit of a human-centered philosophy, the essence of Subaru car design, and the incorporation of functions that are friendly to passengers.

* The top of the dashboard is movable up and down to provide an optimal driving environment for the driver according to driving conditions.
* A flat floor in the rear seat was achieved even with the implementation of AWD, for improved use and movement inside the cabin.
* Specialized shielding is incorporated in the windshield to reduce eyestrain on the driver.
* New leather covering developed with superior breathability and a ventilation function is used in the seats for improved comfort and texture.

Subaru Cars

Subaru is one of the auto manufacturers in the country that is blessed with a loyal following. They fill a particular niche in the market and consistently do it very well. As time passes, market forces demand updating and changes to models within the vehicle lineup to remain competitive. This time, it’s the Forester’s turn for modernization.

Subaru considers the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue as competitors. Though these position themselves as scaled down trucky types of vehicles, the Forester is often viewed as a ruggedized wagon. In reality, other than the shape of the sheet metal, they are very similar. In fact, Subaru went to great lengths to convince us that the Forester is significantly more

Subaru Impreza Picture

The Subaru Impreza is a compact car that was first introduced by Subaru in 1993.

"Impreza" is a coined word, deriving from an originally Italian word, impresa, meaning a feat or achievement. In Polish, "Impreza" means "party", "event" or "show".

The Impreza was introduced after the popular Leone/Loyale was cancelled with the aging EA series engine. The Impreza was introduced with the popular EJ series engine found in the larger Subaru Legacy.

Subaru is the only company that can claim that their drivetrain is symmetrical for this class size of vehicle.
Compared to vehicles in a similar size class such as Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra, Hyundai Elantra and Mazda Protegé/Mazda3, only the Impreza has always offered AWD, and as of 1996 Subaru made this feature standard equipment in some markets. Subaru produces a lower volume of slightly upscale, well-equipped, sportier Impreza models, unlike other contemporaries in the compact category that offer no-frills base trims.


Subaru chose to continue their longstanding use of the boxer engine in the Impreza. According to Subaru, their configuration of the engine inline with the transmission minimizes body roll due to the lower center of gravity compared with offset engines in most other vehicles. The Subaru layout is also light-weight and lends itself easily to support all-wheel-drive, with power delivered directly to the front and rear wheels, using an integrated transfer case located inside the transmission. The boxer design provides perfect vibration mitigation due to the fact that the movement of each piston is exactly countered by the corresponding piston in the opposing cylinder bank, eliminating the need for a counter-rotating weighted crankshaft (harmonic balancer). Torque steer is also reduced with this type of powertrain layout since the front drive shafts are of equal length and weight.

Subaru Impreza WRX fica mais potente

Poucos meses depois de lançar os novos modelos da família Impreza, totalmente reformulados, a Subaru divulga que a versão mais esportiva da linha, o Impreza WRX, estará ainda mais potente em 2009 e será oferecida exclusivamente com o câmbio manual de cinco marchas. Quem quiser o câmbio automático, disponível no modelo 2008 do WRX , terá de optar pelo Impreza GT – versão um pouco menos apimentada.

O motor continua o mesmo 2,5 litros de quatro cilindros opostos (boxer) turbo, mas os engenheiros japoneses aumentaram a capacidade do turbo e a vazão do sistema de escapamento, além de instalar um catalisador de menor densidade na versão WRX. Com isso, a potência subiu de 224 para 265 cavalos. A suspensão também foi recalibrada e ganhou barras estabilizadoras mais largas.

Para segurar a maior potência, os pneus de 17 polegadas ficaram mais largos, passaram de 205/50R17 para 225/45R17. Por causa da mudança, que deixaria o volante mais pesado, a válvula da direção hidráulica foi trocada para não interferir na sensibilidade da pilotagem. Ah, o teto solar agora ficou maior, mas isso não importa tanto...

Impreza surge em Londres 250 cv, 330 cv e 380 cv

Se não bastasse os Impreza WRX e WRX STi, a Subaru leva ao Salão de Londres três séries especiais de seu endiabrado hatchback: WRX-S; STi 330S e 380PS, este ainda um conceito que vai depender da aceitação do público para entrar em produção.

O mais tranqüilo do trio é o WRX-S. Sua base é o WRX, porém a potência do motor 2.5 com quatro cilindros contrapostos subiu de 230 cv para 255 cv (cavalos). Esse incremento fez o tempo de aceleração de 0 a 96 km/h cair de 6,0 para 5,5 segundos. Se não quiser escutar o motor, há sistema de áudio com disqueteira para seis CDs e 10 alto-falantes, além de faróis de xenônio.

Já o próprio nome do STi 330S entrega seu caráter. Derivado do WRX STi, que é apenas o mais forte dos Impreza, desenvolve 330 cv de potência, em vez dos 310 cv originais. Assim consegue acelerar de 0 a 96 km/h em meros 4,4 segundos, número digno de um Porsche 911 Carrera S. O 330S ainda tem sistema de escapamento com 90 milímetros de diâmetro, bancos Recaro tipo concha, navegação por satélite, cartão eletrônico para entrada e botão de partida.

Não está satisfeito? Então faça coro no estande da montadora japonesa pedindo a produção do Impreza 380PS. A sigla identifica quanto sai do seu motor e estes 50 cv a mais dão condições de o Impreza andar junto com superesportivos do quilate de Lamborghini Murciélago, Mercedes SLR, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.
