A Design of High Completeness, Intended for Production


Currently, Subaru has announced that it will exhibit two concept cars at the Frankfurt Motor Show.



One is the crossover model "VIZIV CONCEPT," unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March this year. It features a hybrid powertrain combining a gasoline engine and electric motor at the front, and a "Rear Independent Motor Driven Symmetrical AWD" system with two drive motors at the rear. This eliminates the need for a propeller shaft, maximizing interior space while achieving both the stable driving of 4WD and off-road capability, according to the company.



The other is the "WRX Concept," which is said to propose the design and technology for the next-generation "WRX." It was already unveiled at theNew York Auto Showin April, and it is expected that a version closer to production will be shown.



Furthermore, regarding the "BRZ" tuned by STI, which is rumored at every motor show, there has been no official mention at this time.
