Subaru's in-built advantages for winter driving in the snow

Subaru vehicles have several core technology features that provide extra reassurance and added confidence in wintery conditions.

Symmetrical AWD powertrain

    Superior grip, balance and control when you need it most. Subaru's legendary Symmetrical AWD system delivers drive distribution to all four wheels.

    X-Mode

      When the going gets tough, engage Subaru's intelligent X-Mode*X-Mode available on specified Subaru models/variants. Refer to model spec/feature pages for full specification. to deliver uncompromising performance in challenging terrain.

      Boxer engine

        Subaru's horizontally-opposed Boxer engine has a low centre of gravity, which means better balance, safety, handling and stability performance.

        EyeSight® Driver Assist

          EyeSight® Driver Assist utilises two cameras mounted in the windscreen to help detect, minimise or even prevent collisions.
