Subaru Advanced Tourer Concept preview

Subaru has revealed the first details on the Advanced Tourer Concept, a midsize sports wagon that evolves the brand’s design direction. It will debuts at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show.

Based on the brand’s “Confidence in Motion” motto, the Advanced Tourer Concept is defined by Subaru’s as a “Revolutionary Sports Tourer”.

This midsize concept (4,580 x 1,840 x 1,430mm) is positioned in the C-segment wagon and is focused on driving performance and utility.

The exterior design features sculpted, tight lines lines defined by sharp edges – a treatment similar to that of the Impreza Design Concept revealed last year, which introduced the “Confidence in Motion” philosophy.

The interior is very concept-like and has four individual seats and a distinctive atmosphere created by the brown and silver tones and wood and metal trims.

Among the anticipated features of the cabin are a large panoramic glass roof and a LCD display integrated in the steering wheel.

The car is powered by a HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) system, equipped with a 1.6 liter turbocharged boxer engine, the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system and the Lineartronic CVT transmission.
