最新报道称,斯巴鲁下一代三排跨界车的造型风格将深受VIZIV 2概念车影响,而该车也将采用独特动力系统。虽然此前确认Crossover 7展示车将是斯巴鲁驰鹏替代车型的概念版车型，但现在据《Motor Trend》报道，VIZIZ 2的设计语言将成为车厂新的七座CUV的设计方向。该车还将采用插电柴油混合动力系统，这也是首款针对美国市场的此类车型，它结合一台2.0升涡轮柴油水平对置引擎和取自丰田的混动系统，后者采用锂电池为车头的电机提供电能，而后轴的两台电机可提供全轮驱动功能。该车除了具备同级车领先的续航能力外，还将提供凌厉的加速性，这主要是由于涡轮柴油引擎和电机可获得优异的低转速高扭矩输出。斯巴鲁还未证实驰鹏替代车型的发布时间，但据传该车将在2016-2017年发布。

 

Subaru Tribeca replacement to get plug-in diesel powertrain

A new report finds that Subaru's next three-row crossover will draw stylistic inspiration from the wild VIZIV 2 concept - and pack a powertrain as unique as its striking sheetmetal.

 

While it was originally believed that the somewhat staid Crossover 7 show car would preview Subaru's Tribeca replacement, the VIZIZ 2's design language will instead serve as the basis for the new seven-passenger CUV, according to Motor Trend.

 

Buyers will reportedly be able to opt for a plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain - the first to be offered in the U.S. market - that combines a 2.0-liter turbodiesel boxer engine with a hybrid system sourced from Toyota. The latter will incorporate a lithium ion battery that sends power to one electric motor at the front, along with two motors at the rear axle that provide AWD capability.

 

In addition to class-leading mileage, the setup is expected to provide snappy acceleration due to the combined low-end torque of the turbodiesel mill and electric motors.

 

Subaru has yet to confirm a launch date for the Tribeca successor, but rumors point to a debut in the 2016-2017 timeframe.
