2.0D turbo diesel engine• What is a common rail?

– ‘Common rail’ is the name of the high pressure (2800kPa) fuel injection system, common fuel supply manifold (rail) that feeds all four injectors

– Fuel supply amount and timing is controlled by high pressure computer controlled electronic injectors

– The benefit is that it enables more precise multiple fuel injections per cycle, resulting in more efficient combustion, improved fuel consumption, power output & lower exhaust emissions

2.0D turbo diesel engine• What is closed loop DPF?

– Closed loop Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is the most efficient catalyst method of reducing soot particles from the exhaust i.e. black smoke

– Requires periodic regeneration to clean the filter• Computer controlled injection of fuel to clean

• Requires highway running operating temperature

• Monitor of operation is signalled to the driver

Six speed manual transmission• Wider ratio spread across the model range

– Improved acceleration and fuel efficiency

– 64 kg vs. 99 kg of the STI 6 speed DCCD transmission

– Improved quality cable shift mechanism

LineartronicTM CVT• Chain drive CVT with infinitely variable gear

ratios– Forward ratio spread 3.525 – 0.558

– Torque converter clutch

– Linear step less feeling of acceleration

LineartronicTM CVT• High efficiency chain drive system

– Higher strength than alternative belt system

– Smaller pulleys with same ratio spread

– Lighter weight

– Smaller packaging

Body construction• Design objectives

– Increased size with weight reduction

– Rigidity & flexibility tuned to dynamic

suspension performance

– Real world highest levels of occupant

crash safety performance

Cradle frame• Engine & transmission mounting system

– Improved ride comfort due to better insulation of suspension attachment from body

– Less dynamic suspension geometry change• Better tyre to road contact

– Better crash energy absorption

Suspension tuning• 12 months prior to launch local tuning commenced

– Subaru Aust. & FHI engineers

– Real world conditions here in Australia

– Setting to suit Australian driver preferences

– Significant improvements in handling and ride comfort

Front suspension• Improved stability, response, ride comfort & NVH

– Suspension directly mounted

to cradle frame for increased

rigidity and less dynamic

suspension geometry

change for more grip

– Increased size stabiliser bar

for improved anti roll

performance

Rear suspension

• Double wishbone rear suspension

– Minimal camber change to ensure good

tyre contact with the road

– Improved anti-dive/lift

– Suspension components directly mounted

to sub-frame to absorb impact energy for

better ride comfort

– Rubber mounting bushes insulate road

noise transfer to the interior

Shock absorbers• New valving provides good ride comfort but greater

control– New ‘initial’ valve retains effective damping to absorb bumps but firmer

when cornering for less roll and greater stability

– Rear shocks feature high response valve on pressure side for better turn

into the corner

Sports shock absorbers

• Bilstein shock absorbers fitted to Liberty sports models

– Same geometry and stroke but stiffer for sports driving style

– Front struts are ‘inverted’

same as STI design for

improved hard cornering

• Better tyre to road contact

for higher grip level

• Less damping fade

Wheels & tyres• Wheels & tyres tuned to suspension settings

– Best fit for optimum level of grip and ride comfort

• 5% slope

• Apply brake pedal & release

• Auto disengage with drive take-up

Electric parking brake

SafetyDesign objective to set World benchmark for

– Occupant and pedestrian safety

– Compatibility with other vehicles in real world accident

situations

• Computer aided design & real world testing to ensure good energy

absorption for both vehicle occupants

• Same height bumper & chassis rail as other brands

Passenger safety cell

Long history of collision performance

– Optimised to provide a extremely rigid

passenger safety cell

– Designed to absorb and

channel the energy away

from the occupants into

the outer frame

– Ring shaped

reinforcement to protect

the occupants

AirbagsAll models standard with seven airbags

– Dual front SRS airbags– Side torso SRS airbags– Curtain SRS airbags– Knee SRS air bag– Pre-tensioner front seat belts with load limiters
