While the WRX STI has stayed true to its new clothes, there are some chassis and price changes. First impressions. At first glance, it seems that light body touches are the only thing that distinguishes the new version of the WRX STI from its predecessor. The study of the technical data of the car also does not reveal fundamental innovations. Under the hood of the European version of the model, a 2,5-liter boxer turbo engine with 300 hp continues to work. and 407 Nm of maximum torque. Drive to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, acceleration from standstill to 100 km/h takes 5,2 seconds. Auto? Dual clutch gearbox? While Subaru is far from such technological solutions. Apparently, the Japanese did not see the need for changes in the system of double ...

Disappearing asphalt, a very angry policeman, a blogger who plowed a geyser, and also monstrous fines, crazy waterfalls, the ocean, hot springs - it seems that Iceland is on another planet “When I visit friends in St. Petersburg, I feel like an oligarch. I can close an account in a restaurant for the whole company, I don’t look at prices in a shoe store and I don’t even demand change in a taxi. If you think that I am the richest Icelander, then I am not. I am an ordinary pensioner, ”Ulfganger Larousson told me, it seems, everything about Iceland during the five hours of the flight. But most of all we talked about money. He warned that it was very expensive in Iceland, but until recently I did not believe that it was so. Comprehensive car wash - $ 130 ...

According to Subaru, the XV was introduced in 2012 under the slogan Urban Adventure, with which they wanted to show off its urban crossover character. With this update, they also changed its purpose a bit and now offer it under the Urban Explorer slogan, which they want to indicate that it is somewhere between the desire for adventure. The treat is known both outside and inside. The changes in appearance were mainly reflected in the front bumper with a slightly revised leading edge, as well as different fog lamps with L-shaped chrome frames and a grille with a more pronounced horizontal slat and mesh structure. The rear lights with clear covers and LED technology are also different. Some changes have also been made...

Pagella C “Filling with LPG the Japanese company's sport utility vehicle cuts operating costs without giving up on brilliance. The setting is tough, but there is a road holding that makes money by being able to rely on all-wheel drive. There are brands that can be recognized at a glance, even for those who are not passionate about this sector. Among them, oddly enough, there is a Subaru. Among Japanese manufacturers, Casa delle Pleiadi (the brand of the constellation) has carved its niche thanks to two of its technical features: permanent all-wheel drive and a 4-cylinder boxer engine. But the third distinctive element must not be overlooked: the offer of GPL models. Subaru has a lot of experience with natural gas, back when it didn't have diesel engines and had to face European competition…

Forester once again fell into a deep rut, but did not get stuck, but continued to drive, quickly turning its wheels smooth from clay. The sidewalls of a beautiful turquoise hue have long since turned brown. Forester once again fell into a deep rut, but did not get stuck, but continued to drive, quickly turning its wheels smooth from clay. The sidewalls of a beautiful buriz shade have long since become brown. The beard of grass that formed under the rear bumper after driving through a swampy field, for the most part, remained on a bump. However, the key innovations of the Forester mid-size crossover after the update lie aside from forest ruts and pitted asphalt near Moscow. Technical uniqueness is part of the Subaru legend: several options for all-wheel drive transmissions and boxer motors. Either geeks can appreciate it, ...

SUV-specific exterior, boxer engine, all-wheel drive and continuously variable CVT The question of whether the XV is a true SUV is interesting, but only from a theoretical point of view. In practice, the technology tie-in with the Impreza takes a backseat, with nine-centimeter higher ground clearance, massive body panels and features such as roof racks, giving the new generation XV not only a significant edge on the beaten track, but also an adventurous SUV in recently looks so popular among consumers. That this is not just a spectacle for the audience is confirmed by the iconic dual transmission of the Japanese brand, combined with a low center of gravity ensured by the gasoline boxer displacement engine that is no less typical for Subaru ...

Subaru Outback still knows how to drive sideways, although now something else is much more important for it - a new level of comfort and equipment It seems to be the same car, but the line has disappeared from the front panel. But the snowy road turned into an unpleasant itchy comb. There is rarely a chance to compare a new product and a pre-styling car in one test. In the case of the Subaru Outback, not only this happened: the Japanese brand brought its entire model range to Lapland by mail. It was easy to guess that some new Subaru model, which the company planned to present in an atmosphere of strict secrecy, is the updated Outback. Each restyling adds LEDs, electronics and comfort to a modern car. And Subaru is no exception. In the US, there is a larger model - Ascent, ...

The new Forester comes to Europe with a new platform and breaks the link with the diesel engine. The drive is entrusted to a gasoline box, which is assisted by a hybrid system. Despite the risk of being clichéd, the phrase "we live in dynamic times" is a pretty accurate description of what's going on in the automotive industry. The anathematization of the diesel engine and the "perfect storm" caused by the need to certify new cars in accordance with WLTP and Euro 6d-Temp washed away the entire landscape of the manufacturer's range. Subaru Forester is perhaps one of the most striking examples of such a transformation. Based on a new high-tech platform with a very high level of safety, the new representative of the Japanese brand in compact SUVs is now available in Europe with only one type of drive - a gasoline boxer (naturally aspirated) engine, complemented by an electric motor ...

You have to climb the mountains along a treacherous path with gullies. X-Mode off-road assistant often chokes the engine so much that it's easier to turn it off. At the top we find ourselves in a thick cloud. And then the car goes blind Presentation of the third generation Subaru XV began with a slide show with a new slogan "Created by engineers." The message is obvious: the corporate world is subject to the primacy of technical solutions, on which the entire philosophy is literally constructed. And the emblem is just right to interpret as the constellation Subariad. The first star on it is a boxer motor, the second is all-wheel drive, the third is the new SGP platform. Another star for sporting experience, fan loyalty and proud survival in independence. The fresh crossover XV was a manifesto of the brand's progress - it is the most advanced in the current range. And for clarity...

Multi-colored Subaru XV one by one disappear into the forest thicket - a trail after the Land Rover Defender. Suddenly, he abruptly turns off the track and, throwing up pillars of snow, rushes even deeper into the forest. Multi-colored Subaru XV one by one disappear into the forest thicket - trail after the Land Rover Defender. Suddenly, he abruptly turns off the track and, throwing up pillars of snow, rushes even deeper into the forest. We are far from the Defe, but there is nothing left but to follow him. All-wheel drive XV obediently grinds snow porridge and gets into the beaten track. Directly on the course is a section with liquid mud, which we slip through and take off on steep hills - from Defender not ...

In the mud, the main thing is not to throw gas, all the while maintaining traction, and not to be greedy with speed, as inertia will help to overcome viscous sections. And we rushed off. Suspension shocks on deep track bumps made the car bounce no worse than SUVs at the Dakar rally. The windows were instantly covered with brown mud. The tire tread clogged up, and the movement took place to the accompaniment of a motor roaring at high speeds ... Crossovers are increasingly being bought, referring to their greater versatility, comfort and additional features. And neither their modest off-road potential, nor higher prices, nor many crossovers' lack of comfort on bad roads can prevent this. But what to do if there are no alternatives, as is commonly believed? Do you want to sit higher, have…
