Subaru Hybrid Tourer concept
A new concept car from the brand to debut at the Tokyo Motor Show
Subaru has released photos and details of their upcoming design study ahead of the Tokyo Motor Show. The Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept will combine several of the company's latest technologies in one vehicle.
The car is powered by the next-generation of Subaru's engine line, a direct-injection, turbo-charged 2.0-liter, horizontally opposed engine. The petrol engine is mated to two electric motors, including a 10kW unit at the front and a 20kW unit in back. The rear motor is used for powering the vehicle when the engine is not needed, while the front motor runs the electrics. The front motor also helps pull the car when going uphill.
Both motors are powered by a Lithium-Ion battery.
Additionally, Subaru is using a Lineartronic Contiuously Variable Transmission, and their signature all-wheel drive. It's said regenerative braking and start/stop have been added to increase efficiency.
The automaker also installed their "EyeSight" system, which uses stereo camera technology to assist in avoiding collisions. Presumably, the camera forms a three-dimensional image that the system is capable of analyzing.
With gullwing doors, ventilated leather seats and a completely flat floor, the Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept is sure to be a hit.
