Subaru Tribeca Review On paper, the Subaru Tribeca ticks all the right boxes for a modern SUV. It’s reliable, spacious and off-road capable but it real life, it performed worse than any SUVs . Even closer home in Kenya where SUVs are popular, the Tribeca is considered an outlier and most people do not even know how it looks like. The idea was to build a 7-seater SUV that could effectively compete in the growing SUV market. Things did not go as planned and upon its release in 2005 it was met with immediate criticism for its lackluster design. It was effectively doomed from the start and even a refresh in 2007 could not salvage the situation. It was eventually discontinued in 2014 and it was replaced by the Subaru Ascent in 2018. First Generation Subaru Tribeca (2005 – 2014) The Subaru Tribeca was…
Subaru BRZ Review The Subaru BRZ is a sports car that was jointly developed by Subaru and Toyota and alternatively sold as the Toyota 86. The development team was comprised of engineers from both companies and Toyota was specifically drawn to Subaru’s expertise in building horizontally-opposed engines with a low center of gravity that are ideal for use in sports cars.

Initially Subaru was opposed to the idea of a front engine, rear wheel drive (FR Layout)sports car with a naturally aspirated engine that Toyota was proposing and it favored an all-wheel-drive, turbocharged version that was right up their domain of expertise. A prototype was developed in 2007 and it performed so well that Subaru was convinced to go with the rear wheel drive layout and…

Subaru Levorg Reviews The Subaru Levorg is a medium sized station wagon that has been in production since 2014. It aims to bridge the gap between the bigger sized Legacy Touring Wagon and the smaller sized Impreza. It is yet to make a proper entrance in Kenya due to the 8 year lag in used car imports but we predict it will do well given the popularity of both the Legacy and the Impreza. It’s smaller in length and wheelbase by 100mm and 50mm lower than the 5th generation Legacy Touring. The Subaru Levorg is a dynamic and accelerative car that comes with two engine options that are all turbo charged; a 1.6L FB16 turbo engine and a 2.0L FA20 turbo engine.

Subaru XV Reviews The Subaru XV is without question the most exceptional small sized SUV we’ve driven in a while. This is by no means a small feat given the stiff competition that includes the Nissan Juke, Mitsubishi RVR, Honda HRV, Nissan Dualis and Toyota C-HR. What sets the XV apart from its competitors is the ingenious Symmetrical All Wheel drive that gives it unparalleled off-road capability The interior of the XV has a modern feel with a well illuminated instrument cluster and dials that are within reach. The seats are well elevated which provides for a natural seating position and an excellent view of the road. At the first row, there is enough room for both driver and passenger to recline. At the second row, the legroom is good for the outer seats but the middle seat is cramped by the transmission tunnel….
