When inclement weather strikes and hazardous road conditions arise, there’s one car brand you want to be driving -- a Subaru.

Benefits of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
When you buy or lease a new Subaru Forester or Outback in Bend, you’ll quickly realize how much confidence you have from behind the wheel. The Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system automatically distributes increased or decreased traction where and when it’s needed, making driving through, rain, sleet or snow a breeze. Other Subaru AWD benefits include:
- Control -- Drivers achieve maximum control due to the even distribution between wheels for stability, safety and driving performance on all terrain.
- Traction -- Subaru’s BOXER® engine, combined with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, works strategically to provide the driver with optimal traction.
- Balance -- Balance is achieved through Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive’s weight distribution, delivering an ideal driving experience.
- Power Distribution -- As the driver accelerates, the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system instantly assesses the power levels and shifts power to rear wheels as power is still being sent to front wheels to increase smoothness.
- Simplicity -- Fewer parts are used in the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system than are used in competitors’ all-wheel drive systems, decreasing maintenance costs.
- Ground Clearance -- As a result of the BOXER® engine’s flat design paired with the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, Subaru provides a standard ground clearance of 8.7 inches while maintaining a low center of gravity.
