Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Difference

Like every Subaru, the Forester comes with all-wheel drive. Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, to be exact. It will keep you on the road through the harsh snow from Illinois winters and the heavy rain from Illinois rain showers. Each wheel is fed with power, so that you have the most traction possible. This allows you to maneuver, steer, and turn with ease and confidence. And when things do get slippery, power is rerouted from wheels that don't have traction to those that do. Subaru's all-wheel drive system is simple; it feeds power to the system in a straight line. It's more efficient and balanced than those other all-wheel drive systems. Many other AWD systems are adapted from front-wheel or rear-wheel based systems, with extra components added on. They aren't as efficient, symmetrical, or as light as Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Plus, they often only engage in all-wheel drive when the system detects wheelspin, and by then, a measure of control has already been sacrificed. Subaru has all-wheel drive, all the time.


The Subaru Boxer Engine

The pistons in the Subaru Boxer Engine are laid flat and thus move parallel to the ground. This design was inspired by airplane engines. It means the engine is smoother, stable and more balanced than others. It has a low center of gravity, is less prone to vibration, and is aligned to feed power directly into the Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system for maximum efficiency. All of this means fewer parts, less bulk, and tighter, more responsive handling. Whether you're driving on the streets of Peoria, or cruising down the highways and interstates in Illinois and the midwest, this Subaru affords you a great ability to stay safe and reach appropriately to situations while enjoying your drive. The Subaru Forester is available with a range of Subaru Boxer engines depending on the trim level desired.
