Subaru has outlined its plans for the Japan Mobility Show 2025. It frames the exhibit under the banner "Driving the Subaru Difference”, splitting the floor into performance and adventure themes to reflect how its customers use their cars.
Tell us about the fast ones first...
The "Performance Scene” part of the stand will host two premieres. The Performance-E STI concept is a battery-electric model intended to point to Subaru's next generation of performance cars, with an emphasis on clean aerodynamics, usable packaging and a driver-centred cabin.
Alongside it, the Performance-B STI concept keeps an internal-combustion platform and draws on familiar Subaru hardware, including a 'boxer; engine and the firm's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, to show how the Japanese company might balance everyday use with higher performance across different powertrains.
And for the adventurous?
In the "Adventure Scene”, Subaru will give the E-Outback (Trailseeker in some markets) its Japan premiere. The stand will also feature Forester Wilderness and Outback Wilderness prototypes, plus the 1983 Subaru GL "Family Huckster” as a nod to the brand's back catalogue.
Beyond the concepts, visitors can explore the technology and services Subaru is developing.
Subaru Corporation President Atsushi Osaki will hold a press conference on Wednesday, 29 October, at 12.30pm Japan time, which is 3.30am in Ireland. It will be live-streamed on Subaru's YouTube channel.
We will have full details of the STI concepts once the covers come off.
