Subaru is teasing a new hybrid wagon concept for the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show kicking off at the end of this month.
The theme of the automaker’s stands at its national show will focus on “Enjoyment and Peace of Mind,” which will be highlighted by not only this new wagon concept but also the production version of the long-awaited BRZ rear-wheel drive sports car.
The wagon concept, which goes by the name Advanced Tourer Concept, is the follow up to the original 2009 Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept and once again demonstrates the automaker’s hybrid technology set to debut in production form in 2013.
Apart from these teaser images, few other details have been revealed by Subaru about its latest concept. The automaker states that its concept is is a mid-size wagon designed to combine sporty driving, utility, and environmentally friendliness.
Power comes from a turbocharged and direct-injected horizontally-opposed ‘boxer’ engine displacing just 1.6-liters and matched with Subaru’s own Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) technology. Drive is then channeled to all four wheels via a symmetrical all-wheel drive system.
A single motor system is used for its simple structure and light weight. The system has an Electric Vehicle (EV) mode, which allows all-wheel drive motion using only the motor at start-up and on low-speed drives. When decelerating, the regenerating mechanism uses the motor as a power generator.
Other features include Subaru's latest EyeSight driver assist system, which relies on a camera-based monitoring system to alert drivers of nearby objects.
Stay tuned for the respective debuts of the BRZ and Advanced Tourer Concept at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, press days for which kick off on November 30. In the meantime, click here for our ongoing coverage of the event.
