Tokyo Advance showing: Subaru Mixture Tourer Concept
Here it is, the all-wheel-drive hybrid Subaru that has been the subject of so much speculation. We're sure Toyota had some involvement in this one, given its current position as Hybrid Overlord of Planet Earth.
Details are sketchy, but Subaru says Hybrid Tourer concept has . turbocharged and direct-injected version of its 2.0-liter horizontally-opposed four-cylinder as the gasoline power source. It joins forces with ..10-kilowatt front-drive electric motor and Subaru '. Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). In back, there is ..20-kilowatt rear-drive electric motor. Add them together and you get all-wheel drive, though not in the usual Subaru sense since there would be no center differential. But this is exactly how Toyota creates “AWD” in the Lexus RX 450. and Highlander Hybrid..
Batteries are of the lithium-ion variety.
