Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is designed around a balanced drivetrain layout that continuously sends power to all four wheels. When traction changes, the system can adjust power delivery to help the tires maintain grip and keep the vehicle composed.

That extra traction can be useful on rain-soaked roads around Atlanta and on changing surfaces when your plans take you outside the city.
