Subaru has always been a rather stubborn brand, and the long-term failure to update the product line and the reason for the high pricing have led to its gradual oblivion by consumers in the domestic auto market at this stage, but even so, Subaru has not made changes to the Chinese market. However, its products in overseas markets have not been discontinued, and the update iteration can keep up.
Recently, at the just-opened 2022 New York Auto Show, the new Subaru Auror Tiger officially debuted. As a redesigned model, the new Aohu generally continues the design of the current model, only for the details of the changes, while the configuration has also been upgraded to a certain extent.
At the appearance level, because the new Aohu is only an annual redesign, the overall shape of the new car has not changed much, and the contour lines are almost consistent with the current model, but some details have been adjusted, such as the size of the grille on the front face has been significantly increased, and the interior uses a black honeycomb shape design, which is designed to further highlight the sporty body. The front bumper wipe plate has become more slender and extends to the lower edge of the headlights, and the front bracket shape has also been adjusted.
The side lines of the new car are very smooth, the addition of large size black wheel eyebrows makes it full of wildness, the tail is relatively unchanged, equipped with large size rear surrounds and the iconic C-shaped taillights, in line with the current design trend, may be able to attract the attention of many young consumers.
At the interior level, the new Aohu is not much different from the current model, the overall design is still biased towards practical design, and the 11.6-inch central control screen may be the biggest design highlight of the vehicle interior. At the configuration level, the new Aohu will be equipped with streaming mirrors and driver assistance functions will also be significantly upgraded. In addition, according to foreign media reports, the new Aohu's car-machine interconnection function may be further improved.
In terms of power, Subaru's new Aohu will be equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated and 2.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 136kW and 194kW, respectively, and a peak torque of 239N·m and 376N·m, respectively, and the drivetrain will match the CVT transmission that can simulate 8-speed transmission, of which the 2.4T model is expected to further improve the actual power performance.
At last:
The addition of the 2.4T engine may be the biggest advantage of the redesigned model, but according to subaru's traditional artistic performance, the price of the 2.4T model is not expected to be low, which is also a big problem for it. In the Chinese market, due to the restrictions of emission standards, it is expected that the 2.4T model will not be introduced into domestic sales, which will be a big regret for Chinese car fans.
