When the road gets unpredictable, confidence matters. That’s why Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive has earned its reputation as one of the most capable and reliable AWD systems on the market. Unlike other brands that treat all-wheel drive as an upgrade, Subaru builds it into nearly every vehicle they make — including the Outback, Forester, Ascent, and Crosstrek.
At Subaru of Macon, we believe understanding the engineering behind Subaru’s AWD system is the key to appreciating what makes these vehicles so extraordinary.
Engineered for Balance and Control
The name says it all — Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is truly symmetrical. The drivetrain is perfectly balanced along the vehicle’s centerline, creating even weight distribution and a lower center of gravity. The result? Superior traction, predictable handling, and remarkable stability on every surface.
Where other SUVs send power to one or two wheels and react only after slip occurs, Subaru’s system continuously powers all four wheels — maintaining control proactively, not reactively.
Adaptable Performance in Every Condition
From sudden Georgia rainstorms to loose gravel on country roads, Subaru’s AWD system constantly adjusts torque between the front and rear axles to maximize grip. When paired with X-MODE® and Hill Descent Control, drivers gain even more confidence on steep or slippery terrain.
Add in Subaru’s trademark BOXER engine — which sits low and flat in the chassis — and you get an AWD setup designed not just for traction, but for precise, balanced driving dynamics that last for years.
Built for Durability and Everyday Adventure
Subaru’s all-wheel drive isn’t an optional feature tacked onto select trims. It’s the foundation of nearly every vehicle they build. That means every Subaru is engineered from the ground up to deliver long-term reliability and confidence, whether you’re navigating downtown Macon or heading to the North Georgia mountains.
Why Georgia Drivers Love Subaru AWD
Drivers in Middle Georgia appreciate Subaru’s ability to handle unpredictable conditions without sacrificing comfort or fuel efficiency. Whether you’re commuting to work, taking the kids to practice, or exploring the outdoors, Subaru’s AWD gives you the peace of mind to go anywhere — anytime.
