Subaru Releases New Hybrid Tourer Concept Images

Subaru's main introduction at the Tokyo Motor Show was the Hybrid Tourer Concept. As it's name implies, the car is a hybrid, meant to signal the brand's intention to incorporate the technology into it's lineup without compromising traditional brand traits.

That's a tall order, but they seem to have succeeded. The styling doesn't offer anything groundbreaking, but is a further evolution of Subaru's design language. I must say I do like it better than the recently introduced Subaru Legacy, and much more so than the current Impreza. Hopefully the clean, modern look of the Hybrid Tourer Concept will carry over.

When Subaru introduced the concept, there wasn't many pictures available. Now they've opted to release more of them that give us a better idea of what the the Hybrid Tourer Concept looks like.

Particularly of interest is the interior, something we haven't seen before.  The unique roof lends it sort of a cockpit-like feeling, but it is light and airy. I wish design traits like the roof and gullwing door on the Subaru Hybrid Tourer would make it to production. Very unlikely, but we can always dream right?
