Subaru

Subaru, founded in 1953 in Japan by Fuji Heavy Industries, is a Japanese automotive manufacturer recognized for its expertise in all-wheel drive transmission and its distinctive boxer engines. Subaru's history follows a trajectory of technical specialization: after a modest presence on the domestic market until the 1970s, the brand progressively established itself in North America and Europe through its mechanical reliability and positioning between generalist manufacturers such as Toyota and Nissan and premium brands. The Subaru range primarily covers compact and intermediate segments, with iconic models such as the Impreza (launched in 1992), Forester (1997), Outback (1994) and Legacy (1989), all equipped with the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive transmission that constitutes the brand's technical signature. Between 2000 and 2023, Subaru progressively strengthened its global presence: the group diversified its Subaru models by integrating electrified and hybrid vehicles, notably with the launch of the e-Boxer crossover in 2018 and electric expansion with the Solterra in 2023. The Subaru manufacturer operates its main production facilities in Japan (Gunma, Oizumi) and the United States (Indiana, South Carolina), notably benefiting from its alliance with Toyota since 2005, formalized through common joint ventures.
