TEST DRIVE OF SUBARU CROSSOVERS

Last weekend, a test drive of Subaru crossovers was held at an autodrome, located at the auto assembly plant of Astana Motors near Almaty. Subaru Kazakhstan and Subaru Motor Almaty organized a test drive for their customers with the participation of Vladimir Borodin, a chief pilot of Steppe Wolves (a team of Astana Motors).

The following systems were tested at the autodrome: X-Mode, which takes control of an engine, transmission, symmetrical all-wheel drive, braking system and other components for achieving safe driving in tough road conditions and across rough terrain; EyeSight system, which is a constant help to drivers, preventing a collision or reducing collision damage; off-road capabilities of Subaru vehicles.

The participants during a test drive learned how to turn extreme driving into safe driving. Vladimir Borodin told all participants about the systems and advantages of Subaru vehicles.

As Diaz Abylkasov (an auto blogger) noted, participation in the off-road drive test of Subaru cars was interesting: “A XV crossover (new), Forester, and Outback (restyled) easily coped with all tests of the special route. Steep descents/ ascents, rugged terrain, and stone traps helped to evaluate the performance of the all-wheel drive and smart electronics of the Japanese brand”.

The whole families with the children as well as the representatives of “the family of the Subaru car owners” came to the autodrome.

"Our Subaru family came to test a new Subaru FORESTER, OUTBACK, and XV. The X-mode system has impressed most of all. It is such a great assistant while driving off-road, up and down. Another system is an EyeSight system, which is installed both in Outback and XV. It is a system of emergency braking, for example, in a situation when a driver falls asleep and there is an approaching object. I drove all three cars. Outback is my favorite car! Currently I drive Subaru Legacy, but in the future, if I need to choose among the three cars, I would buy Outback. I want to express my gratitude to @astana_motors for a great test drive. I got a lot of cool emotions,” Saniya Serikova wrote in her account in the social network.

The event will be held on a regular basis. Follow our news on official websites and social media pages of Subaru Kazakhstan, Subaru Motor Almaty, and Astana Motors.
