Based on Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) approved guidelines. Refer to NRCan’s Fuel Consumption Guide available at https://fcr-ccc.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/en for more information. Full battery charge and ideal conditions are required. Figures will vary based, amongst others and non-exclusively, on driving and charging habits, speed, accessory use, weather and temperature, battery age, vehicle condition, road condition and other factors. In sub ideal conditions, figures may worsen by more than 50%. Battery capacity decreases with time and use which will further reduce range. See the owner’s manual or NRCan’s Fuel Consumption Guide for details.

When it comes to secure handling and stability in both everyday driving and adverse conditions, Subaru's symmetrical full-time AWD system will always have the edge over other ordinary four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive systems. With a Subaru, its instinctive, rally-proven capabilities inspire you to drive the car with confidence - even when travelling quickly over rough or slippery roads, where traction can be easily compromised. It all comes down to pure driving enjoyment no matter where your travels take you. In other manufacturers' systems, low traction levels usually activate some form of traction control system, which attempt to make up for the vehicle's inherent flaws. These traction control systems can lead to instability when cornering on wet or greasy surfaces, as a sudden loss of power can upset the vehicle's balance. At Subaru, we believe that the first line of defence should always be the tenacious grip and stability of symmetrical full-time AWD.

No matter how great a vehicle's drivetrain or grip, we recognize that sometimes even the best of drivers find themselves in a situation that calls for a sudden or even violent change of direction to avoid an accident, that could possibly cause a spin. That is where Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)* system saves the day. In addition to the constant security of symmetrical full-time AWD, it acts as a second line of defence in emergencies, kicking in only when it's really needed. Sensors monitor vehicle speed, throttle opening, gear position, lateral G forces, yaw rate, brake status and steering wheel angle to analyze the actual driving situation. In the event of a loss of control, a computer simultaneously coordinates control of torque distribution, engine output and the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) to stop the car from spinning. VDC doesn't detract from the everyday pleasure of driving a Subaru, but even if it never betrays its presence, it's very reassuring to know it's there if needed.
* Available on certain models.

Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system automatically uses the correct amount of torque, engine output and braking to individual wheels to prevent the car from skidding, thus helping you avoid obstacles while staying in full control of your vehicle.
