The most striking that Subaru introduced in the Salon de Paris, is undoubtedly the new Subaru B9 Tribeca, an all-terrain intended for the American market just put on sale at dealerships in Europe. However, we must avoid a tree that prevent us from seeing the forest and we can not forget about other leading Japanese manufacturer of firsts.

The new Subaru B9 Tribeca can not hide its American origin. There are details, like its huge size (almost five feet), its sole gasoline engine (245 hp) and the five-speed automatic, which does not seem much to marry the tastes of the European market, but to counter them, the model Japanese bid for its aesthetics and aggressive bursting (the front to remind us of a Porsche Cayenne) and traction permanent total, an element which remains differentiator.

The differentiating features of a Subaru from competition (boxer engine and traction to all four wheels) are found also in its new bet: new Subaru B9 Tribeca, a vast terrain that has to compete with the Lexus RX300 and the Mercedes M Class.

It is the first vehicle of the mark which has seven seats; with this nuance we can get an idea of its vast size. According to those responsible for Subaru, the new Subaru B9 Tribeca is ready to challenge in the U.S. market with models like the Lexus RX 300 or the Mercedes M Class

And arguments is not lacking. Monta Boxer a propeller-like all large-Subaru which has an engine capacity of 3 liters and announcing an output of 250 hp. Coupled with the mechanics found a five-speed automatic transmission with two operating modes (normal and sport). The transmission, as we have used the Subaru, is comprehensive, AWD (all-wheel drive).

The new Subaru B9 Tribeca has three rows of seats that move on rails and allowing a degree of modularity in the interior of this giant.

And what is the price of the car new Subaru B9 Tribeca ? So in principle it is not known and will not be made public until mid-year when you leave. However, it is a price deck at about 52,000 euros for the North American market.

The latest Subaru: R1 and new Subaru B9 Tribeca
One of the most utilitarian city and a very powerful luxury SUV is the new Subaru bets for 2005. Two very different vehicles with a common goal: marketed in Europe if they wake up in Geneva the public interest. Qualities are not lacking.

The 75th edition of Geneva Motor Show to be held in early March, will be seen at the arrival in Europe of the two latest Subaru, the R1 and the new Subaru B9 Tribeca. In principle, both models landing just in passing, but threaten to return very soon, this time as to dealers.

R1: small, but very practical
The new R1 model is the smallest of the range Subaru. Just launched the Japanese market, where it has received an exceptional reception thanks to some superb skills to move around town. It’s small, yes, but very useful (have traction to all four wheels) and announced a very low consumption.

The newest of Subaru measured 3.2 meters in length and 1.5 high. To get an idea of its dimensions, we will say that it is somewhat shorter (30 centimeters) that two of its theoretical rival, Chevrolet Matiz and Kia Picanto, but rather long (70 cm) than another industry benchmark, the Smart Fortwo. Is aesthetically attractive, with an oval very aerodynamic.

His three-door body with relative comfort allows host to two passengers, capacity recommended by Subaru, although space on the back to add two more seats. The interior is complemented by a sleek, modern design, combining two colors: red and black.

The R1 appears associated with an engine of only 660 cubic centimeters and four cylinders, capable of developing a maximum output of 45 hp, for little on the road, but more than enough to ensure Subaru-urban routes. This machine also comes with an active system of control valves and an automatic change of continuous variable.

Its excellent urban attributes are confirmed with their low: only announces 4.17 liters per 100 kilometers. Its low emissions of CO2 by far meet the exacting standards of pollution imposed by the Japanese legislation, which would be a problem for his movement on the roads of the European Union.

The R1 is currently marketed in Japan for 9,000 euros. To reach Europe would have to do something at a price lower for the tremendous competition that is presented in the segment: Citroen, with its C1, Peugeot, with 107, and Toyota, the Aygo.

new Subaru B9 Tribeca: sporty and elegant

Like the R1, the new Subaru B9 Tribeca offers a new ceiling in the Subaru range, this time at the top. This is an impressive all-terrain, the largest so far of the Japanese family, of dimensions similar to the Porsche Cayenne, which gives an idea of its capabilities: the first is true of seven seats Subaru.

The new Subaru B9 Tribeca features in its interior up to three rows of seats that move on rails and allowing a degree of modularity. So much amplitude also comes with an avant-garde design and a bid to comfort and convenience. In fact, Subaru has already presented as an alternative to the BMW X5, Lexus RX 300 and Mercedes M Class, SUV class “premium”.

The comfort does not lessen, however, a very sporting spirit, which not only reflected in its exterior design (prominent nose and aerodynamic profile with a very pronounced waist), but also in the mechanical aspect. The new Subaru B9 Tribeca rides a propellant Boxer 6-cylinder Subaru-usual-displacement to 3.0 liters and a maximum power of 250 hp.

Associated with this engine new Subaru B9 Tribeca we found a five-speed automatic with Sportshift system, which allows developing a sporty driving style manual. The transmission new Subaru B9 Tribeca , as we have also used the Japanese brand, is integral AWD. The benefits section is complemented by a traction system VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control) which, along with the ABS system with distribution mechanism braking force and about 255/55 R18 tires, promises a smooth and safe behavior.
