Trust what’s inside to inspire confidence and ignite excitement.
You live in a fast-paced world, a world that is changing at the speed of thought. At Subaru, we
are right there with you – designing, engineering and building vehicles that inspire confidence.
Confidence in a brand, confidence in knowing that the vehicle chosen will complement your busy
lifestyle, and the confidence that derives from the peace of mind and sheer driving pleasure that are
built into every Subaru. All of this results in a tangible connection to your vehicle that engages your
emotions, anticipates your needs, and protects you and your surroundings. So you can trust what’s
inside a Subaru to give you a high level of confidence at every turn, but you’ll have to step inside to
discover it for yourself.
04
What’s inside a Subaru is a one-of-a-kind combination of engine,
suspension and all-wheel drive that brings the driving experience
to life. (Of course, we’re not talking about just ordinary components,
but rather the three pillars of the legendary Subaru symmetrical
full-time AWD system.) Exceptional balance and poise brings
power into harmony with control. The result is a feeling of being
connected to the road that can only be described as intuitive.
And a profound level of confidence and excitement every time
you take the wheel.

Confidence comes from its core.
There are a number of reasons why Subaru drivers experience an unsurpassed
level of confidence behind the wheel – and it all comes down to our philosophy
and our core technology. This thinking begins with the Subaru symmetrical
full-time All-Wheel Drive system, which is standard on every 2012 Subaru
model. This world-class system links the SUBARU BOXER engine, transmission
and differentials symmetrically along the centreline of the vehicle, which sets
the stage for superb balance, nimble handling and genuine fun combined with
superior all-road, all-weather traction and control.
The immense benefits of the drivetrain layout are augmented by a long travel,
fully independent suspension system that helps ensure superior contact with
the surface of the road at all times, boosting driver confidence even further.
These technologies did not happen by chance. Rather, they are the result of
some four decades of diligent effort on the part of our engineers to give drivers
an experience behind the wheel that is far from typical. Thus, from a single
core philosophy – to inspire driver confidence – great things have emerged.
(And this is just the start.)
WHAT’S INSIDE:Every 2012 Subaru model comes standard with the world-renowned Subaru
symmetrical full-time AWD system, comprised of a horizontally opposed
SUBARU BOXER engine, full-time All-Wheel Drive and fully independent,
long-travel suspension.
WHAT IT DOES:This system provides numerous benefits to the driver, all of which lead to
heightened confidence behind the wheel and increased driving pleasure.
Superior traction and control – under all possible road and weather
conditions – is matched by exceptional stability, nimble handling and
remarkable manoeuvrability.
07
Symmetrical Full-Time AWD System: The Advantages
GREATER TRACTIONTraction generates control and control inspires
confidence: When driving in bad weather
or reacting suddenly to avoid a potential
accident, Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD
delivers exceptional traction – and therefore
extraordinary confidence – because it can keep
all four wheels engaged at all times.*
SUPERIOR STABILITYDue to its horizontally opposed configuration, the
SUBARU BOXER engine has a flatter profile and can
therefore be placed lower in the vehicle than other
engine configurations. This creates a lower centre
of gravity for the entire vehicle, which then sets the
stage for more balanced handling, flatter cornering
capabilities and superior stability overall.
GREATER MANOEUVRABILITYThe symmetrical layout of the system delivers power more smoothly
and distributes that power among all four wheels* for more precise,
responsive and satisfying handling and control in virtually all driving
conditions. These characteristics, combined with the finely tuned
suspension system and superior all-wheel-drive traction, create
razor-sharp response for more driving satisfaction, increased control
and greater confidence.
* When vehicle is in motion.
OTHER ENGINE TYPESSUBARU BOXER ENGINE
08
SUBARU BOXER ENGINESA crucial element of the Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system is the SUBARU BOXER
engine. The horizontally opposed configuration of this engine sees the pistons placed
180 degrees apart, creating a lower and flatter profile compared to other engine types
and lowering the centre of gravity for the vehicle overall. This engine type is also inherently
smoother because the movement of one bank of pistons counteracts that of the other, which
then reduces engine vibration. The new Subaru fleet includes a wide array of SUBARU BOXER
engines that are noted for their superior performance, efficiency and smoothness – and their
ability to generate sheer driving pleasure.
2.5L TURBOCHARGED (4-CYLINDER) The award-winning, turbocharged 2.5L DOHC SUBARU BOXER combines the immediate
gratification and long-lasting pleasures of sports-car performance, low emissions and welcome
fuel efficiency. The high-flow intercooler, Active Valve Control System* and virtually no turbo
lag result in linear response and a continuous rush of acceleration. With a highly rigid design
and natural balance, this engine is as strong as it is smooth, ensuring endless miles of driving
enjoyment for the road ahead. The engine in the WRX STI benefits from significantly higher
boost and a free-flowing, quad-tipped exhaust to create instant acceleration, inspiring response,
and an intoxicating sound across the entire rev range.
Unique variations available on 2012 Legacy, Forester, WRX and WRX STI models.
3.6L NATURALLY ASPIRATED (6-CYLINDER) The largest, most refined engine in the Subaru fleet features low internal friction and impressive
rigidity, which serve to reduce noise, vibration, emissions and fuel consumption. The result is
very smooth and quiet power delivery, surprising efficiency and remarkable eco-friendliness – all
on regular unleaded fuel. Light, compact and perfectly balanced by design, this 3.6L 6-cylinder
DOHC SUBARU BOXER also features the Dual Active Valve Control System for impressive
torque and driveability.
Available on 2012 Legacy, Outback and Tribeca models.
2.0L NATURALLY ASPIRATED (4-CYLINDER) From its free-breathing intake to its free-flowing exhaust, the 2.0L DOHC SUBARU BOXER
makes driving seem effortless and exhilarating all at the same time. The design of this brand new,
next-generation engine creates natural balance and smoothness, while the Dual Active Valve
Control System produces dynamic low-end response. When paired with the Lineartronic® CVT
(Continuously Variable Transmission), this engine delivers inspiring performance with a modest
appetite for fuel.
Available on 2012 Impreza models.
2.5L NATURALLY ASPIRATED (4-CYLINDER) The naturally aspirated 2.5L SUBARU BOXER comes in a number of different variations, all offering
remarkable performance, refreshing efficiency and minimal emissions. The 4-cylinder SOHC in the
Legacy and Outback is naturally smooth and strong – and when combined with the Lineartronic
CVT, delivers comparable fuel efficiency to the average two-wheel-drive sedan or crossover.
The new-generation 4-cylinder DOHC in the Forester has been optimized to reduce fuel
consumption and emissions, while delivering rewarding response across a wide range of engine
speeds. For even greater eco-friendliness, the 2.5L SUBARU BOXER in the Legacy, Outback and
Forester can be combined with PZEV equipment to reduce
smog-forming emissions to near zero without any adverse
effect on performance.
Unique variations available on 2012 Forester, Legacy and Outback models.

TRANSMISSIONS + AWDSubaru symmetrical full-time AWD systems are designed for optimum performance and
efficiency on all roads, in all seasons, at all times. To capitalize on these characteristics, each
version of the system is matched to another key element of the drivetrain – a transmission
that is perfectly calibrated to extract maximum performance and efficiency. In all, there are
four different AWD systems in the current Subaru lineup and six different transmissions.
SUSPENSIONThe Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system would
not be complete without the fully independent
suspension system. All Subaru models feature a
strut-type front suspension with a wide track
and long wheel travel. The double-wishbone rear
suspension, also on all models, handles rough
roads and sharp corners with both poise and
precision – ensuring maximum tire contact, minimum vibration and significantly improved
ride quality. Together, these characteristics deliver flatter cornering, as well as a quieter, more
comfortable ride over a variety of road surfaces. This suspension system was developed over
30 years of competition in the FIA World Rally Championship, so it’s endured a brutal baptism
by fire. The ability to travel at speed over all types of surfaces – from tarmac to gravel and from
sand to solid rock – and withstand bumps, jumps and lumps is what gives every Subaru an edge
over the competition.
LINEARTRONIC CVT+ MULTI-PLATE TRANSFER CLUTCH AWD The ideal link between the smooth power of the SUBARU BOXER engine and the
confident control of Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD is the advanced Lineartronic CVT
(Continuously Variable Transmission). This production-car first – a CVT longitudinally
paired with AWD that uses a chain instead of a belt – allows for a near-infinite selection
of gear ratios, keeping the engine in the most favourable rpm range at all times. This
design creates improved performance and outstanding fuel efficiency, as well as faster
response to throttle input. The Lineartronic CVT is also specifically tuned to provide
a more natural feel than other designs for instant response on demand with minimal
application of the accelerator pedal. The overall result is pure Subaru: performance,
smoothness and efficiency in perfect balance.
Unique variations available on 2012 Impreza, Legacy and Outback models.

WHAT’S INSIDE AND OUTSIDE:Countless thoughtful features combine to make every Subaru such an
inspired choice – as both a daily driver and a fun-to-drive weekender.
WHAT IT DOES:Advanced thinking during the design and engineering stages consistently
rewards you at every turn – each Subaru offers a pleasing, reassuring and
entertaining driving experience.
Although Subaru is definitely in the business of building cars, its roots are in the aerospace
industry – and these meticulous engineering and safety standards have carried over intact.
This heritage is reflected throughout the entire line of 2012 Subaru vehicles, which combine
aerodynamic design, smart versatility and engaging technologies, all provided with the aim of
instilling driver confidence and all speaking to a core brand promise that will never be broken.
AERODYNAMICS
Every Subaru is aerodynamically sculpted for superior
efficiency, reduced wind noise and greater stability overall.
In higher-performance models such as the Subaru WRX STI, this
process has been pushed to the nth degree: Larger air intakes
provide efficient airflow and better cooling for the SUBARU BOXER
engine and intercooler, while carved body panels and oversized
wings generate even more confidence-inspiring downforce. The
simple math: Better aerodynamics equals better performance.
DESIGN LANGUAGE
Look a little closer and you’ll see that the Subaru design
language has very strong ties to its aeronautical heritage:
The distinctive, Subaru front grille is accented with wing-shaped
design elements, the hawk-eye headlights evoke the fierce bird
of prey and the central emblem is the Pleiades six-star cluster.
This final soaring feature is inspired by the five companies that
merged to create our parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries
Ltd., represented by the largest star in the configuration.
Smart inside and out.
13
SPACIOUSNESS AND COMFORT
The sleek lines of each vehicle lead the eyes to a dynamic, cabin-forward design
with a large glass area designed to open up space while providing superior
visibility and safety. This sense of spaciousness is further aided by a right-sized
wheelbase and thoughtful interior touches; for example, on many models the
front seatbacks are carved out to create more legroom for back-seat passengers,
while the door panels receive similar treatment in order to generate more hip
and shoulder room for everyone involved. In terms of comfort, available features
such as heated front seats, reclining rear seats, top-quality fabrics and climate
control help create a soothing environment.
SMART TECHNOLOGY
With a laundry list of desirable features such as Bluetooth® connectivity,
SIRIUS® Satellite Radio, USB connectors, navigation systems, rear-view
cameras and powerful audio systems (some with smartphone integration◊),
every Subaru is entertaining and confidence-inspiring in more ways than
one. These available features are designed to keep you connected on the
road and to never let your attention stray from the road. They also offer proof
that Subaru is committed to looking forward and to bringing drivers the most
functional, convenient and desirable features possible.
◊iPhone 4 compatibility.
FUNCTIONALITY
Step inside and you soon discover invigorating and inviting thinking that
delivers new standards in convenience and functionality. Subaru vehicles
feature multiple seating configurations, flat-folding rear seats and countless
thoughtful touches such as seatback pockets, oversized cup holders, and
various storage compartments. The cargo areas are designed to maximize
available space by reducing protrusions and to promote easy access
through wide and low liftgate or trunk openings. Many models also feature
roof rail systems and generous towing capabilities to carry even more gear.
(The message: If you’ve thought of something to do on the weekends,
we’ve thought of it too.)
15
Peace of mind is a rare commodity these days – which is why Subaru
places such a strong emphasis on designing, engineering and building
cars that offer superior levels of safety and security. Right from the
moment of conception, what’s inside each vehicle is defined by an
unwavering guiding principle: To protect all passengers at any cost.
Trust experience,to feel safe and secure.

VISIBILITYTo avoid danger, you have to see it coming first – so every
Subaru is designed to help the driver maintain maximum
awareness of their surroundings. The intelligent design of
each model features a generous glass area, large side mirrors
and thin, strategically placed pillars to minimize obstruction
and maximize active safety. Certain models are also available
with a rear-view camera to boost visibility even further.
Total safety comes from within.
At Subaru, our goal is to inspire confidence and peace of mind on every road,
under all conditions and at all times. This means building vehicles equipped with
the most advanced active and passive safety systems available – technology that
allows drivers to get out more and travel free of unnecessary worry. This is why,
year in and year out, Subaru models are recognized as Top Safety Picks1 by the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
WHAT’S INSIDE:The combination of a world-class all-wheel drive system, striking agility
and class-leading active safety systems combine to give every Subaru
vehicle excellent evasive capabilities. Smart engineering, exceptionally rigid
construction and advanced passive safety systems are also fully prepared to
protect you in the event that an accident is unavoidable.
WHAT IT DOES:The best way to survive a collision is to avoid one in the first
place – that’s why Subaru equips drivers with the tools needed
to steer clear of danger. If avoidance is not possible, a wide
range of passive safety systems are in place to provide
class-leading levels of protection.
VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL SYSTEMStandard on every Subaru, the Vehicle Dynamics
Control† system monitors and analyzes if the vehicle is
following the driver’s intended course via an array of
smart sensors. If the vehicle approaches the limits of
stability, the AWD torque distribution*, engine output
and brakes at each wheel adjust automatically to assist
in keeping the vehicle on course.
†The Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control system may also be known as
Electronic Stability Control.
*Lineartronic® CVT and Automatic Transmission models only.

BREAK-AWAY ENGINEEvery Subaru goes above and beyond when it
comes to your safety. For example, in the event of a
head-on collision, the SUBARU BOXER engine and
transmission are designed to absorb the impact and
break away, sliding underneath the cabin area for an
added measure of protection.
SEATS, SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGSStandard on every Subaru are front, front-side
and side curtain airbags. Also standard are
height-adjustable front seatbelts with pretensioners
to hold passengers firmly in place and load limiters
that ease peak forces to the chest. On most models,
specially designed front seats or front seat head
restraints provide even better support and help to
reduce whiplash in a rear-end collision. The Subaru
SUVs add a rollover sensor that’s linked to the
side-curtain airbags, while the all-new Impreza
gains a standard driver knee airbag.
RING-SHAPED REINFORCEMENT FRAMEThe advanced ring-shaped reinforcement frame – a
proprietary Subaru design – strengthens the entire
passenger cabin by linking the roof to the side
pillars and the floor. This design helps to dissipate
impact energy and divert it away from occupants in
a collision. A front crumple zone is also integral to
the frame, helping to absorb even more energy in
the event of a frontal impact.
BRAKING SYSTEMSAn advanced Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) – standard on every Subaru vehicle, as
are disc brakes at all four corners – includes a number of technologies designed to
aid safety. Electronic Brake-force Distribution automatically adjusts front/rear braking
pressure when vehicle load changes. Brake Assist provides greater force in sudden
panic situations. Many models also incorporate a Hill Holder system to help prevent
rollback when starting off on an incline. And the WRX STI takes braking to a whole
new level with Super Sport ABS and large diameter, ventilated Brembo® disc brakes.

surfaces, and a bright and inviting instrument panel. In terms of functionality, the
Forester scores big once again. The doors open wide for ease of entry and the
substantial front seats are adjustable and can be positioned at just the right height.
And the cargo area is wide, tall and easy to access, with enough space to fit four large
suitcases. In a perfect world, an interior would be warm and welcoming, comfy and
cozy, safe and secure. The passenger cabin of the Subaru Forester is all six of these
things – plus a few more for good measure.

ESTER Banish boredom forever with the 2012 Subaru Legacy, the dynamic performer that brings much-needed excitement to the family sedan category. This bold design comes in three different variations based on engine choice, each option paired with its own version of the legendary Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system. Looking for even more choice? The Legacy is available with a 6-speed manual, 5-speed automatic or Lineartronic® CVT transmission, plus there are several upgrade packages for your consideration. One thing not up for debate, though: The Subaru Legacy sedan jams an enormous amount of performance, safety, fuel efficiency and value into a sophisticated and stylish package.
Legacy 3.6R Limited
2012 LEGACY: Nemesis of boring family sedans.

Swagger-full.One look is all it takes to understand what the Subaru Legacy sedan is all about – a
confident and dynamic driving experience. The flared wheel arches speak to superior
road presence, highlighted by a stellar all-wheel-drive system that delivers world-
class handling and safety. The distinctive front grille and hawk-eye headlights reinforce
the muscular design and further separate the Legacy from the crowd. The car’s bold
silhouette showcases a sleek, mid-size footprint, low centre of gravity and generous
glass area – evidence of stability, spaciousness and confidence-inspiring design.
This is smart engineering for the smart driver.

Power Glass Sunroof (2.5i Touring Package, 2.5i Limited Package, 2.5GT and 3.6R Limited)

These 10-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels bring added flair to the equation. Sleek and stylish, they provide the perfect complement to the sedan’s confident lines.
Auto ON/OFF Headlights
This feature sees a light sensor trigger the headlights automatically at dusk or any other time daylight is restricted. When the key is removed from the ignition, the headlights automatically turn off.
16-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels (2.5i Convenience Package)
The Legacy 2.5i Convenience Package comes equipped with lightweight 8-spoke, 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels that are designed for increased comfort and more confident cornering.
18-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels (2.5GT)

43
Carbon Fibre Trim (2.5GT)
The performance-oriented image of the Legacy 2.5GT is further reinforced by sporty and stylish aluminum alloy sport pedals, rubber studs on the driver’s footrest, and simulated carbon fibre trim along the doors and dashboard.
Electronic Parking Brake
This push-button electronic parking brake is quick and easy to operate; it also frees up space in the cabin that’s normally taken by a handbrake.
Dual-zone Automatic Climate Control (2.5i Touring Package, 2.5i Limited Package, 2.5GT and 3.6R Limited)
This system ensures that the driver and front-seat passenger maintain full control over ambient temperature and are always riding in complete comfort. Features include a digital display, synchronization mode and one-touch defrost mode.

Adjustable Steering Column (4-way)
The steering wheel on the Legacy tilts up/down and telescopes in/out to set the optimal driving position. This feature, combined with the adjustable seat, helps drivers stay within easy reach of all key controls at all times.
Bluetooth® Hands-free Calling (2.5i Convenience Package, 2.5i Touring Package, 2.5i Limited Package, 2.5GT and 3.6R Limited)

The 2012 Subaru Outback is a vehicle that only Subaru could possibly deliver. On the one hand, it’s a uniquely capable utility vehicle, complete with all the qualities this statement implies: the versatility needed to go anywhere at the drop of a hat and take anything with you... including your hat collection. On the other hand, the Outback offers up more than a few surprises, including many car-like qualities such as nimble handling, refreshing fuel efficiency, and a spacious and refined cabin. Offering the choice of two potent SUBARU BOXER engines and three different transmissions, this is the SUV alternative that rewards drivers at every turn – and encourages them to get out more with complete confidence.
Outback 3.6R
2012 OUTBACK: Fuel your adventures.

Altitude plus attitude.Rugged, refined, aggressive and athletic: The exterior design of the Subaru Outback
is as purposeful as you’ll find on the road today. First things first: The generous ground
clearance signals that the Outback is no pretender – pick a road, any road, and this
utility vehicle is up for the challenge. Next: The substantial front grille, hawk-eye
headlights and piercing fog lights stand ready to cut through any possible scenario
the weather gods could imagine. Last but not least: The solid-surface wheel arches
and flared fenders reinforce that the Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system
is on the job, ready to deliver unsurpassed confidence in even the most
adventurous of settings.
51
17-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels
All Outback models come standard with lightweight, 6-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels. Not just a pretty face, these sleek wheels also promote better handling under all sorts of driving conditions.
Front Bumper Underguard (2.5i Touring Package)
This ruggedly constructed feature helps keep the lower bumper area free of dents and scratches, even when the Outback is cutting through brush or dealing with other obstacles in the road.
Swing-in-place Roof Rack System
All versions of the Outback come standard with this smartly designed roof rack system with built-in crossbars. The crossbars swing out to help with loading cumbersome gear and retract back into the side rails when not needed to reduce aerodynamic drag and wind noise.
Fog Lights
These multi-reflector halogen fog lights provide heightened visibility, cutting through the murky surroundings with a wide, flat beam that reduces glare at the same time.
Windshield Wiper De-icer (2.5i Touring Package, 2.5i Limited Package and 3.6R models)
Standard on the Outback 2.5i Touring Package, 2.5i Limited Package and 3.6R models, this feature consists of electric heating elements that warm the area of the windshield where the wipers rest, clearing them from ice and frost.
Rear Roofline Spoiler
This aerodynamic feature not only gives the Outback reduced drag numbers, it also gives this rugged utility vehicle a sporty touch. Standard on all models.

You�re hardly roughing it.Right from the moment of inception, the Subaru Outback was designed to deliver
more than the competition: more capability, more space and more comfort. An
incredibly thoughtful passenger cabin is the result, one that features wider door
openings, increased glass area, enough space for five adults, and a decidedly brilliant
cargo area that offers more room and functionality than many other vehicles in this class.
The Outback also delivers some surprises, including a sporty, three-spoke steering
wheel and an electronic parking brake with driver-selectable Hill Holder system.
The theme continues with a number of refined touches, including a well-appointed
driving environment that makes the rough stuff feel like a walk in a
well-manicured park.
53
Overhead Storage Console
Centrally located and easily accessible, this overhead storage console is the perfect spot to keep sunglasses ready for those bright days.
Pioneer® 6-speaker System (2.5i Limited Package and 3.6R Limited Package)
This high-end Pioneer 6-speaker system combines rich, full-bodied sound characteristics with exceptional mid-range depth. Revolutionary speaker cone design incorporates carbon graphite with long aramid fibres providing the strength and durability that powerful bass sound requires. Exceptional tweeter performance and reduced mid-to-low range distortion for clear, accurate vocals means you will experience rich, full-bodied sound with outstanding mid-range depth.
Auto-dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass (2.5i Limited Package and 3.6R Limited Package)
A feature designed with safety and security in mind: This auto-dimming rearview mirror cuts glare from car headlights and features a handy compass to ensure you’re always headed in the right direction.
Illuminated Vanity Mirrors
Both the driver and front-seat passenger are within easy reach of their own illuminated vanity mirror, a thoughtful touch that makes the Outback all the more livable.
Cargo Area Tray (2.5i Touring Package, 2.5i Limited Package and 3.6R models)
This cargo tray serves two great purposes: It protects the carpet underneath from dirt and spills, and it keeps the cargo area neat and tidy. Constructed of rubber, the tray is easy to clean and helps to prevent items from sliding around.
Cargo Cover
This retractable cargo cover keeps valuables out of view and protected from harsh sunlight. Made of lightweight aluminum, the cover can be installed or removed in a flash.

That vehicle is the 2012 Subaru Tribeca. Drive this engaging SUV and you’ll soon learn that high expectations can be met at every turn.
Tribeca
2012 TRIBECA: The manifestation of more.
60
Powerful, elegant, purposeful.Normally, you don’t associate superior driving dynamics with your average everyday
SUV – then again, the Subaru Tribeca is not your average everyday SUV. Of course,
this fact should become abundantly clear as soon as you lay eyes on it. With its
generous ground clearance, athletic stance and sculpted bodywork, it’s clear that
this SUV pays as much attention to the entire driving experience as it does to
traditional SUV qualities such as increased spaciousness, visibility and utility.
Smartly designed and right-sized, the Tribeca is also the only 7-passenger SUV
with the Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system. So the Subaru Tribeca
might best be described as “the above-average SUV” for everyday living.

HID Headlights (Limited Package and Premier Package)
For greater visibility and superior safety at night, Xenon High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights emit a brighter and whiter beam.
18-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels
The Tribeca comes standard with lightweight 5-double spoke, 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels that make a bold statement and deliver better handling response in the corners.
Door Mirror LED Turn Signals
LED turn signals incorporated into the door mirrors look fantastic and enhance safety by giving other drivers a clear sense of your intended path.
Roof Rails
The standard roof rails can be fitted with a wide range of accessories designed to carry all manner of gear, from bicycle racks to cargo carriers and nearly everything in between. A silver finish on Limited Package and Premier Package models adds an elegant touch.
18-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels (Limited Package and Premier Package)
The Tribeca Limited Package and Premier Package come equipped with 7-spoke,18-inch alloy wheels. These elegant wheels are designed to enhance curb appeal, while delivering superior performance overall.
Fog Lights
For those times when foggy weather threatens visibility, standard multi-reflector halogen fog lights answer back with a wide, flat beam for reduced glare and increased safety.

Haven for seven.Choosing a family vehicle is a difficult task full of complex considerations. The designers
at Subaru have made your life easier by making this choice simpler. Their handiwork, the
Subaru Tribeca, showcases the kind of thoughtful features the smart driver has in mind.
For example, the passenger cabin has no fewer than 64 different seating configurations,
a third row of seats and room for up to 7 passengers. The award-winning interior also
showcases a level of ergonomic refinement and sheer luxury not often associated
with this segment. To complete the picture, the Tribeca comes standard with a full
complement of airbags to better protect everyone inside.
63
Courtesy Lights
Front- and rear-door courtesy lights guide passengers when entering and exiting the cabin, illuminating the targeted areas in a warm and welcoming glow.
Harman Kardon® Speakers(Limited Package and Premier Package)
This 10-speaker, 385-watt Harman Kardon speaker system is designed to take your listening pleasure to new heights. Its powerful subwoofer provides rich, full bass, while the 7-channel amplifier ensures crystal clear sound overall.
In-dash Navigation System (Premier Package)
The GPS DVD-based navigation system allows you to get where you‘re going with simple, step-by-step instructions displayed on the 7-inch, high-resolution VGA touchscreen.
Rear Cooling Unit
With separate fan control settings, this rear cooling unit brings added control, comfort and convenience for back-seat passengers. A much-appreciated feature for those hot summer days.
Power-adjustable Front Seats
Superior positioning and maximum comfort are just a touch away with the 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and 4-way power-adjustable front passenger seat. For the Limited and Premier Packages, a 2-position memory feature is also included with the driver’s seat.
Rear-view Camera
The rear-view camera system projects a full-colour image of what’s behind the vehicle when reverse is selected. This system aids visibility, makes tricky parking tasks a snap and boosts safety all at the same time.

Power. If you’re the sort who takes his or her driving seriously – very seriously – then step right up. The 2012 Subaru WRX and Subaru WRX STI are engineered for you, the person with a serious passion for driving excitement and an uncommon love for the internal combustion engine. In the case of the WRX, that engine is a turbocharged and intercooled SUBARU BOXER that produces 265 horsepower and abundant thrills. With respect to the WRX STI, what’s nestled under the muscular hood is an even more extreme example of the Subaru engineering team’s art – a 305-horsepower, high-boost variation of this same SUBARU BOXER engine. But power is just the start.
From left to right: WRX (5-door), WRX STI (5-door), WRX Limited Package (4-door) , WRX STI Sport-tech Package (4-door)
2012 WRX AND WRX STI: Pure performance.
69
Control. To complement the incredible reserves of power on tap in the 2012 Subaru WRX and Subaru WRX STI, they also come equipped with acres of confidence-inspiring control. The pursuit of greater safety and control has led to unbelievable stability, especially in high-speed corners. This control comes courtesy of the legendary Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, rally-inspired fully independent suspension and truly exceptional active safety systems. Whether your preference is for the fierce 5-door or the ferocious 4-door, both have been designed for incredible balance and superior response under all types of driving conditions. The WRX STI further benefits from one of the most advanced driver-selectable AWD systems in the business to offer an even higher level of control – and countless hours of driving enjoyment.
70
Performance personified.Whether your personal preference is for the scorching 4-door or the blistering
5-door, the exterior design of the 2012 Subaru WRX and WRX STI leaves no room
for misunderstanding whatsoever – these are purebred performance cars. The
fierceness begins from the ground up: both the WRX and WRX STI display a
wide, low look that speaks to superior aerodynamics, handling and high-speed
stability. The large air intakes, cooling vents, prominent fenders and rear wings
serve to reinforce the message. And the finishing touches – including alloy wheels
and the distinct rumble of their quad-tipped exhausts – put the exclamation
mark on what is an already powerful statement.
71
Rear Underbody Diffuser and Quad-tipped Exhaust
The 4-door and 5-door models come standard with their own versions of a rear underbody diffuser for improved aerodynamic performance and increased downforce. Also standard: a quad-tipped exhaust that’s been tuned for efficient performance and exciting sound.
High-profile Rear-wing Spoiler (WRX STI models – 4-door)
Standard on the 4-door version of the WRX STI, this trunk-mounted spoiler is code-named “the wing” for very good reason – it’s been wind-tunnel engineered to deliver massive amounts of downforce.
18-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels (WRX STI models)
The WRX STI Sport-tech Package features lightweight, 18-inch alloy wheels that have been designed and engineered for top performance. These 14-spoke wheels feature a shiny, high-lustre finish, while the same wheels on the base model are coated in a dark charcoal finish for a more dramatic effect.
Side Cooling Vents
Serious performance attributes for very serious performance cars: The prominent wheel arches feature functional cooling vents and ducts that manage airflow around the wheels, and draw heat away from the engine.
Low-profile Rear Spoiler (WRX models – 4-door)
Standard on the WRX, this trunk-mounted rear spoiler is understated but effective nevertheless. It combines racy styling with aerodynamic efficiency, making it the perfect addition to this compelling sports car.
17-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels (WRX models)
Standard on the WRX is this set of 15-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels that feature a high-tech, gunmetal finish that creates a memorable and menacing look.

Locked and loaded.As you might expect, the passenger cabin of the Subaru WRX and WRX STI means
business – it’s loaded with driver-focused gadgetry. Witness the 3-spoke leather-wrapped
steering wheel, aluminum alloy pedals and form-fitting sport seats. But it’s also a super-strong
and ultra-safe environment filled with active and passive safety systems that set a new standard.
The interior is also remarkably well-designed from a comfort and storage point of view, and it’s
fitted with the kind of thoughtful features not commonly found in such performance-oriented
modes of transportation. These are purpose-built cars for any number of purposes, all of them
revolving around the concept of sheer excitement.
73
Aluminum Alloy Sport Pedals
These lightweight aluminum alloy pedals are fitted with rubber pads for extra grip and control. Sporty, stylish and performance-oriented, they’re the perfect resting place for a lead foot (or two).
Heated Front Seats
Even though these cars are all about performance, they still have their fair share of creature comforts. Example: standard heated front seats that are individually adjustable with multiple levels of settings.
Ambient Interior Lighting (WRX STI models)
There’s nothing like a little ambient lighting to get the blood pumping – especially if it’s red ambient lighting. The footwells and centre console storage area are bathed in the light, creating an exciting ambience.
Leather-wrapped Steering Wheel with Red Stitching
Extra control is right around the next corner courtesy of this 3-spoke, leather-wrapped sport steering wheel. The high-grip wheel is augmented by red stitching and, for all STI models, STI badging.
Automatic Climate Control (WRX models and WRX STI Sport-tech Package)
Available automatic climate control maintains comfort settings with automatic adjustment of airflow and temperature. A microscopic filter helps keep dust out of the cabin.
Rally-style Sport Seats
Designed to support enthusiastic cornering, these rally-style seats feature superior side bolstering, radiant red stitching and an unmistakably sporty feel. The seats bear either the WRX or STI logo (depending on the model), while the latter also gains Alcantara® seating surfaces and leather side bolsters.

Subaru vehicles are uniquely designed to get out there more – and to leave it out there less. We build our vehicles for maximum longevity because more time spent on the road
equals less time spent in junkyards and landfills. Fully 95.4% of our vehicles sold in Canada over the last 10 years are still on the road today.1 You’ll also find very little waste created
in the production of a Subaru – many of our vehicles are built in the Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (SIA) factory, which was the first manufacturing facility in the U.S. to achieve
zero-landfill status. Other Subaru facilities around the world now achieve similar goals in helping to preserve the environment. Respect for our surroundings is yet another way that
Subaru vehicles help to build driver confidence for the road ahead.
