Concept Subaru made a designer revolution in Geneva

Name the design strength of the Subaru brand in recent years difficult. However, the Geneva premiere of the Japanese company to rectify the situation: Viziv concept demonstrates the design style, which will match all future Subaru. Viziv - is, in fact, an abbreviation which stands for Subaru's vision for innovation, "an innovative approach." The three-door crossover turned out to be relatively compact - 4320 mm long and 1900 mm wide, while the wheelbase is 2640 mm. Thus, the concept is shorter and wider than a serial crossover Subaru Forester.

Muscular and dynamic Viziv, in line with modern trends, received a diesel-electric propulsion system, the power of which, however, remained a mystery. Its composition liter boxer engine (operating together with a stepless variator) and two electric motors on the rear axle, which operate independently. With electronics can thus be the distribution of torque between the rear wheels that allow creators Viziv make it more manageable.

It motors are responsible for movement of the concept in an urban setting or at low speeds. Diesel plays the role of either power or connected, when a more serious acceleration. In the Subaru note that the rejection of the usual transmission allowed the architects to reduce cabin floor line, increasing rear legroom of passengers. The central tunnel, meanwhile, remained: it divides the interior of the concept in half - so, Subaru Viziv has only four seats.

Transmission of the concept has several modes of operation. In addition, the concept was to adapt the system EyeSight, which is based on the testimony of a stereo camera can adjust the operation of onboard systems for specific road conditions. Information about the system EyeSight while displayed on a special monitor on the dashboard. Some of the information may be broadcast on monitors and rear passengers that, according to the manufacturer, they could also get their share of thrills.

Conveyor prospects at Viziv not, however, the new AWD system may well be realized in the future on one of the serial crossovers.
