GENEVA: Subaru has unveiled the Subaru VIZIV Tourer Concept at the Geneva Motor Show.

Since the debut of the VIZIV Concept in 2013, Subaru has produced a series of themed concept models embodying the brand’s vision for the future of making cars that are safe and fun to drive.

The VIZIV Tourer Concept has a hexagonal grille for a rigid, forward-thrusting body that combines with four muscular fenders to highlight its driving fun intentions while conveying a sense of security. It comes rigged with 20-inch wheels.

Designed with a tourer theme, the 4-seat Subaru VIZIV Tourer Concept merges a Symmetrical AWD layout powered by a boxer engine, with Subaru’s expertise in offering driving performance, practicality and safety.

As a precursor to automated driving technologies, advanced driver-assist functions combining the next-generation EyeSight system with other devices have been installed in the car to reduce driver fatigue on long journeys. Subaru said the driver-assist functions are expected to show up in its cars by 2020.

The name VIZIV has been coined from the phrase “Vision for Innovation”. The dimensions of the new concept that has crossover elements approximates those of the current Outback and points to possibly a new Outback in development.

As wagons go, the concept shows its practical side with generous luggage space.
