Is Subaru a Joint Venture or Imported Car?
2 Answers
All Subaru models are imported Japanese cars, and they are all four-wheel drive vehicles. Below is an introduction to Subaru: 1. Excellent balance. Subaru utilizes this technology to effectively reduce body sway, thereby enhancing overall stability and providing a confident feeling when cornering. 2. Minimal vibration. Subaru's horizontally opposed engine features a 180-degree structure, where opposing piston movements cancel out inertia, reducing engine vibration amplitude. The minimal vibration contributes to stable engine RPM, creating an unprecedented level of smoothness, stability, and comfort. 3. Strong grip. With powerful grip and road adhesion performance, Subaru continuously strives to improve its all-wheel drive system, as it outperforms two-wheel drive systems in cornering performance.
I remember when I first drove a Subaru over a decade ago, it was purely an imported vehicle with no joint-venture production in China. Back then, friends recommended this Japanese brand for its exceptionally stable performance, especially its full-time all-wheel-drive system that works wonders in snowy conditions. Although the price was slightly higher than some joint-venture models, the driving experience was far more worry-free. My own Subaru Forester never required major repairs, and I always took it to specialized shops for maintenance since all the parts were imported—fortunately, they were durable and safe. Nowadays, when I see new Subarus on the road, they are still directly imported with no plans for local production. If you're considering a family car, Subaru is worth a try, especially for its top-notch anti-slip performance in northern winters. Overall, its imported status makes it somewhat niche, but it offers genuine quality and suits those who love road trips.
