Since its inception, Subaru performance has been legendary. As the automotive division of Japanese industrial giant Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru cars were first manufactured and marketed in the mid-1950s.  Distributed in the United States since 1968, consumer demand for the car line quickly surpassed the number of vehicles that could be imported, which resulted in Subaru building a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Lafayette, IN.

Once a driver becomes a Subaru owner, they likely become Subaru enthusiasts for life. Below are just some of the reasons why.

The Subaru Boxer Engine

The perfect combination of power, efficiency, and engineering, with a unique horizontal orientation, the Boxer engine's name comes from the fact that the pistons move horizontally back and forth in a punching motion rather than up and down like they do in most cars. This innovation delivers more power to the all-wheel drive cars and SUVs and enables the highest fuel efficiency of any full-time all-wheel drive vehicles on the market.

All-Wheel Drive

While many brands offer all-wheel drive options, Subaru has built their system from the ground up as an AWD vehicle, not a two-wheel drive that has added power to the other axle as an afterthought or selling point. The unique drive-train of Subaru allows for the equally unique Boxer engine to distribute power to every wheel equally, which provides more traction and prevents slippage in difficult weather or when off-road.

Subaru Performance Safety

 

Rated as one of the safest vehicles on the road, every Subaru has a "ring type" reinforced frame construction.  Engineered front and rear crumple zones absorb some of the energy in the event of a collision. Electronic Brake Distribution and the Vehicle Dynamics Control System work in concert to sense when the car is losing control, resulting in a front or rear end slip; the system helps the car auto-correct to move it away from possible dangerous moves and conditions.

A complete advanced airbag system, steering wheel, and brake pedal safety system limit possible injuries to the driver and passengers.
