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

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
