One year after unveiling the original concept, Subaru has revealed a new version of its two-door, four-seater future technology and design showcase vehicle – the Subaru VIZIV-2 Concept – at the Geneva Motor Show.
The 4.4-metre long all-wheel drive VIZIV-2 concept is powered by a 1.6-litre turbo-diesel ‘DIT’ (Direct-Injection Turbo) Boxer engine, plus three electric motors.
The vehicle’s styling is suggestive of a possible future design direction for Subaru’s production vehicles.
The front is dominated by large stretched ‘C’ shaped headlamps and prominent round LED fog lights. The core hexagonal shape of the body is present in the front grille and is repeated at the rear where the combination lamps are styled to make the car appear wider.
Inside, VIZIV-2 features a cabin focused on functionality and safety. Viewed from the driver’s seat, the instrument cluster design stresses drivability, showing the operating status for EyeSight, Subaru’s advanced driver assistance system, and the vehicle’s multi-directional sensing systems.
Underneath, Subaru’s new independent rear motor-driven Symmetrical AWD system developed for VIZIV-2 points to a future generation of Subaru AWD technology.
While the diesel engine and front electric motor power the front wheels, at the rear two independent motors allow the same or different levels of torque to be applied to the left and right rear wheels, depending on driving conditions. A third motor powers the front wheels, with power provided by a lithium-ion battery pack. Completing the plug-in hybrid powertrain, the four-cylinder 1.6-litre DIT diesel engine is coupled with a Lineartronic (CVT) automatic transmission.
VIZIV-2 also features a new variation of Subaru’s SI-DRIVE driving control system, Hybrid SI-DRIVE, which allows the driver to select different profiles for the engine and transmission. To the original system’s ‘Intelligent’ and ‘Sports’ modes, this adds an ‘Eco-Cruise’ mode which works in conjunction with the EyeSight driver assist system.
