Tokyo 2011: Subaru Advanced Tourer Concept debuts

Over at Subaru, the Advanced Tourer Concept has made its debut at the TMS. The company describes it as a new generation sports wagon, and the 4.58 metre-long B-pillarless vehicle combines a horizontally-opposed Boxer engine linked to a hybrid system.

The 1.6 litre turbo engine includes direct fuel injection and showcases technology that will guide the brand’s future engine strategy. Mated to a Lineartronic CVT gearbox, Subaru says the mill drastically improves combustion efficiency at practical driving speeds.

A single-motor hybrid system, with attendant lithium-ion battery, is used for its simple structure and light weight – the system has an Electric Vehicle mode that allows All-Wheel Drive motion using only the motor at start-up and low speed. When decelerating, the regenerating mechanism uses the motor as a power generator.

Unique features include a roof made of glass to add to the vehicle’s spacious cabin feel, as well as a large monitor built into the steering wheel, which allows access to maps, television and the Internet.

    Wow that is the exact same grille and headlights from the new A6.
    Suabru really should come up with it’s own design language instead of just stealing Audis. You’d expect this from a Chinese company but not Subaru.

    Audi has well-defined lines, which give it its elegance and its place in the premium brands do not?
    but subaru with this new design, combining strength, elegance and aggression.
    what this new prospect looking design that Subaru managed to position one or two notches above where it is now
