Two different versions of standard Symmetrical AWD, depending on transmission: models with 5- speed manual transmission feature Continuous AWD with a viscous coupling locking center differential that splits power 50:50 front to rear. Models with Lineartronic CVT use Active AWD with an electronically managed continuously variable transfer clutch that actively manages the power split based on acceleration, deceleration and available traction. Both systems power all four wheels and will transfer power to the wheels with the best grip.

Drawn from over 40 years of intelligent performance, the horizontal layout of the SUBARU BOXER® engine combines balance with power and efficiency.

Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), a stability control system, automatically senses steering and braking inputs to help keep the vehicle on the driver's intended path.
