Subaru manufactures its family-friendly vehicles to be smarter than your average affordable car. All but one of its vehicles comes equipped with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) because Subaru knows that designing a vehicles from scratch to support AWD makes for a more efficient and effective system.
Subaru's AWD sends power to all four wheel all the time. There are straight lines from the engine to the transmission and drivetrain -- hence Symmetrical -- and it makes for a more efficient system when it comes to reducing slippage in any road condition in a timely manner. Vehicles that have AWD system tacked onto a standard 2WD vehicle typically have AWD that engages after traction is already lost.
See how Subaru's superior AWD system has the 2016 Subaru Impreza standing out from its small-sedan competitors in the wet-weather test below.
