Following the Viziv and Viziv Evolution Concept, Subaru has unveiled its all new Viziv 2 Concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.

Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, has unveiled the Subaru Viziv 2 Concept at the 2014 Geneva International Motor Show.

The rear combination lamps make the rear feel wider and the strong fenders impress a sense of stability in their stance

The Viziv 2 Concept is a future generation crossover concept that represents the direction of Subaru's brand value 'Enjoyment and Peace of Mind', following the Viziv Concept revealed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and the Viziv Evolution Concept exhibited at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show.

'Viziv' is a coined word inspired by the phrase 'Vision for Innovation' to express Subaru's future vision of innovation and the future direction of the brand.

Compared to the Viziv's two-door body, the Viziv 2 Concept employs a four-door body, which achieves both utility and sportiness. The stylish and solid body also represents polished surfaces, rigidity and density, in turn an expression of Subaru's safety and security.

While emphasising dynamism and solidity, the design shares motifs with other Subaru models. Representative of the powerful, dynamic motif, the sides pose in a dynamic stance, coupled with strong fenders which flare out as if gushing out from the interior.

The rugged body framework has been incorporated as part of the design, creating an interior which inspires a dynamic, enjoyable driving experience

The Viziv 2 Concept's plug-in hybrid system consists of the 1.6-litre Horizontally-Opposed direct injection turbocharged engine combined with the high-torque-compatible Lineartronic (CVT) transmission with one front motor and two rear motors.

The components for the hybrid system such as a high-voltage battery are installed while maintaining Subaru's unique Symmetrical AWD (All-Wheel Drive) layout. The layout delivers superb driveability based on its low centre of gravity and superior weight balance.

Subaru is constantly refining its unique AWD systems according to the development philosophy 'Four-wheel management'. Available on the Viziv 2 Concept is an independent rear-motor-driven symmetrical AWD system that provides fine-tuned control of the four wheels to match the travel environment and road surface conditions - leading the way to a future generation of Subaru AWD technology.
