The History of Subarus

The Subaru has been one of the most popular cars on the market, especially since the 1990’s. Fuji Heavy Industries built the first Subaru in 1954, the Subaru 1500. 20 of these were built that year with rigorous private testing done with a few taxi drivers and the initial feedback was outstanding.

Fuji continued to produce Subaru’s and got a major breakthrough with the first import into America in 1968. The Subaru 360 was small, but Americans could see the potential in the brand and continued to import the vehicles.

1974 Japan produced the first 4x4 Subaru, with only a pull of the handle making the vehicle switch to 4x4. The US Ski Team then chose the Subaru as the car of choice in 1976 which prompted Subaru to rise to the 5th most imported car in 1977.

In 1993, 25 years after the first import bought the Impreza to the market. The Impreza continued to be improved upon each year as more varieties were introduced.

Fast forwarding to 2009, Subaru have four main versions, the Impreza, Outback, Forester and Legacy. These have continually evolved and in 2012 there were 336,441 Subaru’s sold in the USA, with the Outback back the most sold with 117,000.

The Subaru continues to impress the American market. With 630 dealers across the states that trend is set to continue. In a testimony to how sturdy the Subaru is, over 90% of all-wheel-drive Subaru’s sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today.

Subaru Showcases the 2015 WRX STI at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show

Subaru debuted the 2015 WRX STI on the second media day of the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.  The WRX STI takes everything that makes the WRX great and makes it greater. The WRX is Subaru’s high performance car but Subaru has found a way to increase that performance with the 2015 WRX STI by packing more power and with a more aggressive suspension tune. The look as also been upgraded with a sporty wing and gold wheels.

The 2015 WRX STI’s power remains unchanged, packing the 2.5 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder boxer engine with 305 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque.  Also unchanged in the STI is the six speed manual transmission as the only way to change the car’s gears. Because the powertrain remains essentially unchanged, zero to 60 mph acceleration can still happen in about 4.6 seconds as in the previous model.

The big changes to the STI lie in its handling. The STI has a stiffer chassis from the increased use of high-strength steel, which allows for faster response and quick turning. The AWD drivetrain is equipped with a center differential that allows for 41.59 torque split and is unique to this model.

Also, a new torque-vectoring system has been incorporated into the STI. Furthermore, the STI uses a rotary dial on the dash that allows the driver to select on of three powertrain modes, Intelligent, Sport and Sport Sharp.

The inside of the STI also has been upgraded with a flat bottomed steering wheel, Alcantara seats and a 4.3 inch LCD screen. Optional upgrades include leather seats, a moon roof and a Harmon/Kardon Stereo.

Subaru Levorg Concept

Subaru unveiled its new Legacy car line when it unveiled the new Levorg concept car at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show.  The concept stands for “Legacy”, “Revolution”, and “Touring” and is designed to combine practicality and sports car handling.  The Levorg is expected to hit the Japanese market next year.

Subaru says that the Levorg has been designed for high aerodynamic efficiency and uses a body with ultra-high tensile steel for light weight and rigidity.  The heaxagonal grille and sleek headlights define its character as a sports car.

Under the hood is a new 1.6-liter horizontally-opposed direct injection turbo version of the legendary Subaru Boxer engine.

Subaru’s innovative EyeSight driver assist system has been updated for the Levorg and now features greater visibility and wider viewing angles for the Active Cruise Control and Pre-Collision Braking Control systems.  The next generation EyeSight introduces a new Active Lane Keep System.

Inside the Levorg you will find piano black and metal trim, ice-blue lighting on the instruments and a LCD color display that provides constant updates on vehicle status.

The Levorg goes on sale in Japan early next year and there is no word yet on a U.S. release date, but the impressive concept further proves how innovative Subaru is as a company.  To see the latest and greatest in Subaru’s impressive line of vehicles, visit Huffines Subaru at 5150 South Interstate 35E in Denton, Texas or give us a call at 940-321-2504 today!
