Next to nothing has been announced regarding the Subaru Viziv Concept, but there’s plenty of room for speculation. Given that the Forester, Impreza and BRZ are new enough and the Outback was recently updated, the next in line for a change is the Subaru Tribeca. The Subaru Tribeca has been out since 2006 with one significant exterior design change since its introduction.
The Subaru Viziv Concept could confirm a few things:
Subaru is moving away from the old six-cylinder/H6 power plant and may be looking at turbocharging more of their H4 engines.
Continuously variable transmissions (CVT) are the cat’s meow as far as Subaru is concerned. It’s entirely possible that the turbocharged H4 that’s bundled with the ‘Lineartronic’ CVT in the new Subaru Forester could find its way into the Subaru Viziv Concept, and, thus – into the next Subaru Tribeca.
Subaru’s new turbocharged diesel horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine is supposed to be a dynamo. Perhaps the Subaru Viziv will have the ability to utilize an oil-burner too?
Granted, all of this is wild speculation. Subaru will officially unveil the Subaru Viziv Concept on March 5th 2013 at the Geneva Motor Show.
