Most people associate Subarus with snow. However, you don't need snow or icy roads to maximize the all-wheel drive performance of a Subaru. Subaru's exclusive symmetrical all-wheel drive provides remarkable traction, stability, and control in ALL road and weather conditions - especially rainy, wet roads that Florida drivers are accustomed to. As the graph from the U.S. DOT below shows, over 90% of weather-related crashes in the South happen on wet pavement either during or right after a rain storm. They also concluded that crash risk during rainfall is 70% higher than under clear, dry conditions.

Many drivers do not realize that pavement friction is significantly reduced under wet conditions, leading to greater stopping distances and potential loss of control. The researchers also reported that crash risk was greater when rain followed a period of dry weather due to accumulated oils on the road. Sounds a lot like Florida. Rain or sun, this is where Subarus shine!

You Could Say - Subarus Are Built For Florida Weather

Subaru incorporates several core technologies for the most effective response to Florida driving conditions.

  • Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive improves stability and provides a quicker response on wet roads.
  • This is coupled with the vehicle dynamics control (VDC) system, which automatically senses steering and braking inputs to help keep the vehicle on the driver's intended path.
  • In stopping situations, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) pulses braking power to help prevent wheel lockup.
  • Electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) optimizes the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels according to how the vehicle is loaded with passengers and cargo.
  • The brake assist system helps ensure maximum pressure is applied to the brakes as quickly as possible in an emergency situation.
The combination of these systems help provide a safe and controlled driving experience, even in slippery conditions.

Let's see how it works and compares to competitors' vehicles.
