 Subaru forester

The Forester now comes with Subaru’s excellent boxer diesel engine. It’s smooth, powerful and torquey – ideal for towing.But the horsey types have been made to wait. Subaru launched the Forester back in April, but has watched buyers digress to Kugas, X-Trails, RAV4s and Freelanders. All of which had diesel power. Now, Subaru hope to win back their loyal customers with an oil-burner of their own.

It’s a bloody good one too, and well worth the wait. We’re familiar with Subaru boxers in petrol form, but this is a first in diesel guise. We’ve driven it in the Legacy, and liked it. Don’t expect the usual turbodiesel traits though; the boxer has less lag and, appropriately, a more instant punch. It likes to rev too, so you can hold on to gears longer. It even sounds quite interesting. It’s a diesel with soul.

But improving on the old Forester doesn’t necessarily mean it is good enough. Engine aside, there’s little to compliment. The interior trim is from an Impreza, and feels a bit cheap (you’d be disappointed if you’d forked out £25,495 for the top-spec version).

And, at speed, the ride is horribly choppy. Taking a series of bumps feels like bouncing off a springboard, only to land on a bouncy castle. You just can’t get this thing to settle down, without killing speed. Seems the engineers did a fine job on the engine, but forgot all about the damping. Which is surprising, considering the suspension is a posh, multi-link affair.

None of which will matter to Forester buyers. They’ll be more interested in its four-wheel-drive and rugged durability. No pretentions, no fuss, no drama. In fact, the Forester is slightly dull – for once, a lifestyle SUV that doesn’t bang on about being a lifestyle SUV.

The boxer diesel makes it into the Impreza later this year too. With any luck, that should provide an altogether more exciting form of horsepower.

Subaru Trizia cars 2011 With Latest Reviews and Prices
Maybe someone slipped in an extra cup of civility or forgot to add enough dashes of hardcore, but what was once little more than a thinly-disguised rally stage escapee had come out of the oven a little weaker than its predecessor.

Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI) unveiled the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI and WRX (U.S. specifications) models at the New York International Auto Show (Press day: March 31 and April 1; Open to the public from April 2 through 11).

Developed under the concept of “The Fastest WRX STI Ever”, the 2011 model has achieved even more advanced driving performance due to a finely tuned suspension. To attain such superior performance, the model underwent repeated testing at the Nurburgring track in Germany as well as in Japan, which served to refine the essential nature of the car as a true driver’s car that offers “total driving control” with a high level of cornering performance, secure and supreme sure handling, and overall vehicle stability.

New 4-Door Sedan

In order to further pursue the performance expected of a road sports model, a 4-door model has been added to the lineup to provide a new Subaru AWD performance sedan.

New Wide-Body WRX 4- and 5-Door

Adopting the same wide body as the WRX STI, the Impreza WRX features wider tread and tire widths which, together with a finely tuned suspension, provide remarkable improvements to stability and road-holding performance when driving at high speeds. The 4-door and 5-door models have been thoroughly upgraded in terms of styling and driving performance for enhanced product appeal.

Main Improvements for the Impreza WRX STI

1. Exterior

• The new 4-door model, along with the 5-door, includes a “wide and low” design concept that is a perfect match for this advanced performance model and gives the impression of dynamic and powerful road presence.

• The corners of the bumpers have been enlarged and the areas around the fog lamps have been blacked out in order to provide a front face shape that expresses a sense of reassuring stability. The newly designed front grill features virile black tones which, together with enlarged grill and bumper openings, serve to project functionality matching the vehicle’s high performance. The adoption of a forward-surging shape for the lip spoiler at the bottom of the bumper further enhances the sportiness. (For both 4-door and 5-door models)

• Like the 5-door model, a blister fender running from the front to the rear, providing a side view with a sense of dynamic movement, has been adopted for the new 4-door model. The rear fender has a strong design that emphasises the wider track of the rear tires and the performance sedan characteristics.

• For the rear view of the 4-door model, the rear fender surface is stretched beyond the outer side of the combination lamps, emphasizing the thickness of the rear end, thereby providing a design that expresses stability. Additionally, the diffuser shape incorporated at the bottom of the rear bumper completely envelops the muffler for a refined, sporty look.

• A striking larger rear spoiler was exclusively designed for the STI 4-door model. The spoiler has a three-dimensional shape in consideration of the aerodynamics of the wing and further serves to symbolise the advanced performance of the WRX STI.

• The twin-dual muffler cutters feature a new design unique to the 4-door model. Stainless steel is used to express both sportiness and high product quality.

• Lightweight 18-inch aluminum wheels have been newly adopted as standard equipment, and these have been given a high luster finish to heighten the sense of luxury. Additionally, the optional BBS 18-inch wheels are provided with a high luster finish. (For both 4-door and 5-door models)

• The new color of “Plasma Blue Silica” has been added. (For both 4-door and 5-door models)

2. Interior (For both 4-door and 5-door models)

• The colors of the instrument panel, door trim and steering decorative parts have been changed to a dark metallic hue. The contrast of this hue with the silver decorative parts produces a sporty cockpit.

• A Bluetooth®* function has been added to the standard audio. Additionally, a switch for Bluetooth hands-free communication has been added to the steering wheel to improve convenience.

* Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Bluetooth® Sig, Inc. USA.

• A USB jack has been installed inside the console box in order to provide for use of USB input devices.

3. Mechanisms (For both 4-door and 5-door models)

• The overall suspension setup has been completely revised and the vehicle height lowered by 5 mm in order to provide high-precision handling that allows a driver to accurately power through lines exactly as required.

• A new aluminum lower arm has been designed for the front suspension, while the rear arm bushes have been changed to a pillow-ball type. These work to improve toe and tread rigidity in order to provide handling performance that is even more faithful to the driver’s steering control.

• The specifications of the sub-frame bushings of the rear suspension have been changed to improve the toe and camber rigidity, resulting in increased vehicle responsiveness and road hugging capability.

• Specialised tuning of the damping force of both front and rear dampers provides secure road-holding ability. Changes to specifications of the front and rear coil springs, and stabilizers have greatly improved roll rigidity.

Subaru Ballistic Of Accelera

Publik Jakarta kembali terhenyak ketika ditampilkan Subaru Ballistic yang sudah sampai pada evolusi generasi ke-3

Untuk model dari Ballistic-3 ini, mirip dengan mobil konsep yang didesain Mazda California Design Studio dan Swift Engineering, Mazda Furai. Dan untuk membentuk mobil ini seperti Mazda Furai, hanya sasis bawaan saja yang disisakan, lainnya dibuang. Sebagai penguat tambahan dan juga berfungsi sebagai tulang bodi, 3 buah jenis besi disematkan didalamnya yaitu besi siku, besi gepeng dan besi pipa dimana masing-masing besi ini disesuaikan dengan bentuk dan juga penempatannya. Besi siku bertindak sebagai penguat sisi kulit bodi, besi gepeng berukuran 1.2 mm untuk bagian bodi yang menghadap keatas dan yang terakhir yaitu besi pipa dipergunakan untuk membentuk pilar A, B sampai belakang.

Aroma sports car terasa kental ketika melongok kedalam area kabin. Mulai dari jok yang dibuat single seater dan mengadopsi konsep kenyamanan dari gokart. Belum lagi dengan setirnya yang digarap menyerupai kemudi pesawat. Dari area inilah, instrumen-instrumen dan tombol-tombol yang ada difungsikan serta tetap menjunjung estetika sebuah sports car. Dan untuk lebih mengentalkan nuansa sports car, dashboard dilapisi material berbahan suede dan yang lainnya berbahan sintetik berwarna hitam dengan jahitan warna merah.

Konstruksi sistem motorize yang tersembunyi, membuat konsepsi engsel dan trigger perantara menjadi cukup rumit. Akan tetapi kesemuanya tetap mampu dibuat dengan rapi dan tidak meninggalkan fungsi dasarnya. Dan yang mampu membuat publik berdecak kagum adalah dengan mengaplikasi cellular security system custom yang mampu membuat mobil mampu dihidupkan dari jarak jauh dengan perantaraan ponsel. Begitu juga untuk mematikan mesin mobil, cara yang sama juga dipakai. Untuk itu dibutuhkan bantuan komputer CT2 autolock, untuk mengatur pergerakan motor starternya agar dapat bekerja secara sempurna. Komputer ini tinggal menyesuaikan waktu kerjanya sampai menyentuh titik picu agar mesin dapat hidup sempurna.

Dengan kualitas akhir (finishing) bodi yang sangat cermat dan penerapan konsep serta ide yang benar-benar matang dengan detail yang bisa dibilang baik dan presisi, membuahkan hasil modifikasi ekstrim yang patut untuk selalu diacungi jempol. Congratulation...!

The Sport/Utility of the year Subaru MOTOR TREND’s 2010 Powered Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system.
Tokyo, October 16, 2009 – Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, today announced that Subaru of America, Inc.* released the Subaru Outback (US specifications model) was named MOTOR TREND’s 2010 Sport/Utility of the year. The Subaru Outback’s victory follows the Subaru Forester’s win for the 2009 award, making Subaru the first automaker to win two consecutive MOTOR TREND Sport/Utility of the Year awards.
Living up to Subaru’s legendary safety record, the Outback offers cutting-edge safety technology, including Subaru’s ring reinforcement safety system, front, seat-mounted side, and side-curtain airbags and ABS. Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system, which incorporates stability and traction control systems with a roll-over sensor, is also standard equipment. The Subaru Outback was recently named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS).

To judge contenders for the award, MOTOR TREND‘s editorial staff conducted an exhaustive three-phase testing process. Phase one of the process includes a full tech check and weigh-in, then full track testing to establish baseline data for acceleration, braking, and handling. Phase two involves three days of road loops offering a range of road surfaces and traffic conditions to evaluate ride and handling, engine and transmission smoothness and responsiveness, wind and road noise, and ergonomics. A dirt-track section tests traction, stability, and braking control systems. In phase three the judges debate and deliberate.
This year, the editors updated and expanded the judging criteria to six new categories: Design Advancement, Engineering Excellence, Intended Function, Efficiency, Safety and Value.
MOTOR TREND’s Sport/Utility of the Year® is not a comparison test and is only open to all-new or substantially upgraded vehicles that have gone on sale in the 12 months from November 1 of the previous year. MOTOR TREND looks for the pick of each year’s crop of new SUV’s, and does not revisit vehicles that have been on sale for the past few years.
