I have to say that Subaru is a magical brand, whenever it is talked about, most of the people around them have two kinds of feedback, one is full of respect, love and recognition of the brand, and the other part of the people have no feeling for this brand, or even disdain. This is also expected by Uncle Che, after all, Subaru has always been very stubborn, insisting on original imports, and the price is relatively expensive, and a small number of people are good at this mouthful.
Recently, the 2022 Subaru Aohu was officially launched, and the new car was launched with three configuration models to choose from, with a price range of 312,800 to 330,800 yuan. The new model maintains the design of the current model inside and out, but adds the body color, and the official fuel consumption is switched from NEDC to WLTP, the overall change is not much, let's take a closer look at how it performs.
Exterior design
Subaru Aohu is based on the Subaru SGP modular platform, the vehicle design is relatively tough, in which the front part of the new car is decorated with chrome in many places, and the black skid plate and silver decoration are embellished around the body, retaining the wildness while adding a touch of refinement. The new car grille is an inverted trapezoidal design, equipped with two stout banner trim panels, the left and right side headlight groups are relatively small, with steering auxiliary lighting inside, compared to the previous generation model to add matrix LED headlights, and the fog lights are upgraded to LED light sources.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the new model are 4880×1875×1670 mm, and the wheelbase is 2745 mm. The body side shape of the car does not look like a traditional SUV, and the design of the whole vehicle is more slender, but there is still a clear difference from the real crossover from the body height.
Subaru's tail design echoes the front of the car, the overall layering is clear, and it is equipped with multiple plastic trim embellishments, highlighting the personality of the vehicle. The irregular polygonal taillight set is a new generation of Subaru design style, the internal light source is mainly halogen, the sense of grade is almost meaningless.
Interior design
Subaru Aohu interior layout continues the brand's consistent minimalist style, horizontal and vertical design methods make it look too conventional, but in the context of the era of technology, Subaru is not far behind, the center console is equipped with an embedded 11.6-inch touch LCD screen, making the sense of technology in the car has been greatly improved. The new owner drives directly in front of the matching three-frame steering wheel, the shape is no different from the previous generation model, the leather fabric wrapped in the plate body is more delicate, and the button size is very large, which can make daily operation more convenient.
According to the configuration of different new models, the interior seats are wrapped in imitation leather and imitation leather + leather materials, and the functional aspects are standard with the four-way adjustment of the height of the main passenger seat, the electric adjustment of the main passenger seat, and the heating of the front seat. The front seats in the new car are relatively wide, the interior is softly filled, the feeling of immersion is obvious when riding, and the comfort and wrapping are excellent.
The rear seats of the new car are of the same level as the front row in terms of material use and workmanship, the backrest in the middle of the rear row is hard, the floor bulge is extremely high, and although the area can be lowered, it is not as comfortable as being placed on both sides. In addition, the backrest of the rear seats of the new car supports the angle adjustment, so it is not easy to feel fatigued after a long ride.
dynamical system
The new model is still equipped with a 2.5L engine as standard, with a maximum output of 169 hp and a peak torque of 252 Nm. In terms of drivetrain, the engine is matched by a simulated 8-speed CVT stepless transmission, while the new car is also equipped with a full-time all-wheel drive system as standard.

The 2022 model has a total of three configurations, the price range is 31.28 ~ 330,800 yuan, and then the uncle will conduct a detailed analysis of each configuration to see which one is more cost-effective?

Uncle Che summed up
In general, the overall change of the 2022 Subaru Auror Tiger is not large, going back to more than a decade ago, the strength of the car can indeed play, but in the past ten years, Subaru has been like a pedantic old man standing still. At present, it is 2022, more than 300,000 yuan of cars are still using halogen lamps, accelerating 10 seconds away, braking more than 40 meters, it is not easy to appear in the car a large screen, even can not be networked, is simply outrageous. Nowadays, this model can only be handled and four-wheel drive, but these two things are not the most important in the eyes of ordinary consumers, no wonder in the eyes of most people without brand faith blessing, Subaru will be such a useless, so the final opinion given by the uncle is: not recommended to buy.
