Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

 Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

Every all-wheel drive system is not the same. In 1972, we began developing our all-wheel drive system with a commitment to simplicity, to working in harmony with the forces of nature, and to making every moment behind the wheel a rewarding experience. Nearly 40 years worth of development later, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive stands out from the crowd with advantages like the stability of its almost total side-to-side symmetry, the brilliant efficiency of its power delivery, and its quick response to wheel slippage.
  
Better Balance
We build every Subaru model with all-wheel drive from the ground up. Each one features the longitudinally mounted SUBARU BOXER® engine. Designed to work in concert with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, it feeds power into the system in a straight line. Some other AWD systems  need extra components to direct engine power through multiple turns in order to get it to each of the wheels. The resulting simplicity allows us to build a balanced, more efficient drivetrain with nearly perfect side-to-side symmetry. Better balance means stability that helps make driving safer and agility that makes it more fun.
