\"Subaru\"
\nLater this month at the Tokyo Motor Show Subaru will reveal its Hybrid Tourer Concept. It will feature key elements of the company\u2019s \u2018DNA\u2019, notably a horizontally-opposed engine \u2013 in this instance the world\u2019s first \u2018boxer\u2019 hybrid powerplant \u2013 and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD).\u00a0 It marries these with an opulent and spacious cabin accessed through elongated gullwing-style doors, and an eye-catching, finely sculpted body.<\/p>\n

Articulating with the new trend toward hybrid tourer-saloon cars like BMW’s Grand Tourer, this is Subaru’s first salvo in this upmarket battle for new market. Throwing in a hybrid Boxer is nothing if not intriguing.<\/p>\n

The hybrid system apparently uses Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a 2.0-litre horizontally-opposed, direct-injection, turbocharged petrol pugilist allied to two electric motors. The electric motors are powered by lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n

According to press releases, in normal driving conditions the direct-injection petrol engine is used, but at lower speeds and start-up, the rear electric motor drives the car.\u00a0 The forward electric unit, which is mainly used as a power generator, kicks in to assist performance and efficiency while tackling inclines.\u00a0 Subaru\u2019s in-house designed Lineartronic automatic transmission is featured, further boosting fuel efficiency and driving performance.<\/p>\n

Wether it can retain the passionate punch of the standard scooby Boxer-driven cars remains to be seen of course. But the concept certainly looks good.<\/p>\n
