For now, we don’t know anything about the mechanics, but it would be surprising if Subaru used other mechanics than the current 2.0L and 2.5L flat-fours.

Emphasis has been placed on the dashboard, redesigned to incorporate a large touch screen. The platform also benefits from reinforcements and the engineers have implemented a fully electric assisted braking system.

We will have more details about the Canadian version soon.
