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.

Interior

The interior on the other hand comes with symmetric lines and cutting-edge interface technology incorporated in the central power frame. The idea for active lifestyle is also incorporated by the beige and black contrast along with the use of orange as a dynamic addition and accent
