Tokyo, March 6, 2018 – Subaru Corporation today
unveiled the Subaru VIZIV* Tourer Concept at the 88th Geneva International
Motor Show.
Since the debut of the Subaru VIZIV Concept in 2013,
Subaru has produced a series of themed concept models embodying the brand’s
vision for the future of making cars that deliver Enjoyment and Peace of Mind
to its customers. Designed on a tourer theme, the Subaru VIZIV Tourer Concept
unites Symmetrical AWD layout powered by a boxer engine with Subaru’s wealth of
expertise in offering driving performance, practicality, and safety to deliver
new value in a tourer form enabling drivers and passengers to fully savor the
enjoyment of travelling by car. In anticipation of widespread future deployment
of automated driving technologies, advanced driver-assist functions combining
the next-generation EyeSight system with other devices have been installed in
the car to reduce driver fatigue on long journeys and enable active enjoyment
of driving with peace of mind.
Subaru’s
design and development will advance in the directions indicated by the VIZIV
Concept models as the company continues to make cars that deliver Enjoyment and
Peace of Mind.
