SUBARU SYMMETRICAL AWD
FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE (FWD)
REAR-WHEEL DRIVE (RWD)
why
If you want to turn power into action, you need
traction. Subaru has put more than 30 years
into developing a traction system that delivers
pavement grip and vehicle control unlike any
other. The result, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel
Drive, boasts almost total side-to-side symmetry
for optimal balance and stability. What’s more, it
delivers power with brilliant efficiency for rapid
response to slippage and to driver input.
Instantaneous Response
Only four small patches of rubber keep you in
control of your vehicle. The more your tires are
engaged, the more control you have. Unlike FWD or
RWD vehicles, the Subaru Symmetrical AWD system
keeps power routed to all four tires. So they’re
all ready to respond when you use the throttle,
especially in tight curves or unexpected maneuvers.
Road Adhesion
The greater the grip your tires have on the road,
the more predictable your car becomes. With
all four wheels receiving power all the time,
chances are much more likely that none will be
overpowered or spin freely, and your vehicle
will stay on its intended trajectory. Think of it as
prevention rather than reaction.
Exceptional Control
The Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, with
its fore, aft and lateral balance, results in excellent
handling overall. Unlike a rear-wheel drive car which
may oversteer, or a front-wheel drive car that is more
prone to understeer, the full-time symmetrical AWD of
the WRX and WRX STI transfers power to all four wheels
for more stable, neutral cornering. The result? Greater
safety and intensifi ed performance.
