SUBARU SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
A mountain hairpin. A decreasing-radius on-ramp. A sudden summer storm. The enticements
keep on coming. So give yourself the adhesive advantage of the standard Subaru Symmetrical
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system to keep those four patches of rubber sticking to the road. Its
uniquely balanced confi guration helps ensure stability and poise. Its effi ciency at transmitting
power delivers greater grip and quick response to slippage. We've been perfecting AWD for
over 30 years. So however the road tempts you, you'll fi nd that the attraction is quite mutual.
NON-SLIP
GRIP
CONTINUOUS AWD
WRX models equipped with the 5-speed manual
transmission use a viscous-locking center differen-
tial. Should wheel slippage occur, it helps transfer
power with lightning-quick refl exes to the front or
rear wheels with the most traction.
ACTIVE AWD
Matched to the 4-speed automatic, the Active AWD
system monitors parameters such as wheel slip-
page and vehicle speed, actively adjusting power to
the front or rear wheels for optimal adhesion.
