A team of veteran first responders put several leading AWD vehicles through a barrage of tests in multiple driving conditions. Watch to see how Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive stood up against the competition.
Two independent tests were conducted by the United States Auto Club, examining the difference in handling of the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system of the Subaru Impreza versus two-wheel-drive sedans in the same class. They looked at reaction and traction on a wet track course, including 40-foot acceleration and a 90-degree turn.
Traction, control, and handling don't apply only to slippery conditions. See the benefits of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive on dry pavement. Professional driver Emile Bouret examines the traction and handling of the Subaru Impreza on a closed test course.
