    This Concept is a SUV machine that demonstrates a future vision over the Subaru styling. Along with the incredible features, the VIZIV also gives a glimpse of the next-gen technologies that would be incorporated in future Subaru vehicles. Only some of them are the automatic driving technology that is the result from ongoing evolution of the EyeSight and also the engine that combines a downsized turbo unit and a hybrid system.

    Styling

    Subaru VIZIV Future Concept

    When it comes to design, Subaru went for a slightly different approach with the VIZIV. The team decided to go for the Subaru Dynamic & Solid design theme that embodies the idea for “enjoyment and peace of mind”.

    Exterior

    The body demonstrates clear and polished surface that enhances the impression of swiftness and elegance. Furthermore, the design also brings that muscular stance, thanks to the extended bumpers. And staying true to its SUV nature, there are strong motifs like the hexagonal grill and the ascending rear pillar and a dynamic and wide rear bumper that altogether contribute to the unique style of the vehicle.

  • Subaru WRX Concept

    Subaru has released some nice pictures of their all-new performance concept car. This will be the next generation WRX car.

    It looks a lot different than the Impreza. The front boasts a prominent front grille, a big front hood intake and aggressive headlights. The car is a lot lower and wider than the current saloon model. The roof is made from carbon fiber for lower weight and better handling. At the rear, there is a new trunk lid with a built-in lip spoiler.

    Last, but not least, Subaru fitted the Concept with quad sports exhaust system with nice fluorescent yellow finish. We can see the same finish on the brake calipers and WRX badging.

    The exterior is finished in Blue Pearl III paint.

    There is also a set of 20” BBS forged alloy wheels fitted with Dunlop performance tires.

    Nothing is mentioned about the engine, but we are expected over 300HP from 2.0 liter turbocharged engine.
