It works in tandem with Subaru's Lineartronic CVT transmission and comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, delivering fuel economy ratings of up to 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway in base models. Additionally, the system offers a low-shift mode for better control in tough conditions, such as those encountered during seasonal weather changes in Hickman.
