Subaru is on the way of adding a new edge to its famous all-wheel drive at the coming up Tokyo Motor Show in the next month. The concept of a Hybrid Tourer prepared by Subaru makes use of three power sources in order to drive the wheels. This is dependent on particular type of circumstances.
There is a 2.0 liter gasoline having the four-cylinder engine with the technology of direct injection and turbo-charging as well as a CVT. This gasoline is fitted horizontally under the bonnet. This Hybrid Tourer has a system that combines the conventional power train technology with two electric motors; one is fixed on the front axle and the other at the rear axle.
One of the two electric motors is joined with the gasoline engine which acts as a 10kW motor when there is a requirement of power. There is a generator which is used for recharging the lithium ion battery rest of the time. The second electric motor is capable of sending 20 kW power to the rear wheels under the condition of low-speed driving and when there is a need of high power.
In Subaru’s Hybrid Tourer Concept, there are some modernized touches of gull wing doors which have the access of both the front as well as the rear seat passengers. The dashboard in it is able to shift up and down in order to provide an optimal view to the driver.
