At the end of the Second World War, Nakajima Aircraft was again reorganized, this time as Fuji Sangyo Co, Ltd. In 1932, the company was reorganized as Nakajima Aircraft Company, Ltd and soon became a major manufacturer of aircraft for Japan during World War II. History Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI) and Subaru's first cars įuji Heavy Industries started out as the Aircraft Research Laboratory in 1915, headed by Chikuhei Nakajima. Subaru is the Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster M45, or the "Seven Sisters" (one of whom tradition says is invisible – hence only six stars in the Subaru logo), which in turn inspires the logo and alludes to the companies that merged to create FHI. The company's marketing targets those who desire its signature engine and drive train, all-wheel drive and rough-road capabilities, or affordable sports car designs. In Western markets, Subaru vehicles have traditionally attracted a small but devoted core of buyers. Subaru also offers turbocharged versions of their passenger cars, such as the WRX, Legacy and Outback XT, Ascent, and formerly the Legacy GT and Forester XT. The lone exception is the BRZ, introduced in 2012 via a partnership with Toyota, which pairs the boxer engine with rear-wheel-drive.
Both became standard equipment for mid-size and smaller cars in most markets by 1996.
The Symmetrical All Wheel Drive drive-train layout was introduced in 1972. Subaru cars are known for their use of a boxer engine layout in most vehicles above 1,500 cc. Subaru ( スバル) ( / ˈ s uː b ə r uː/ or / s ʊ ˈ b ɑːr uː/ Japanese pronunciation: ) is the automobile manufacturing division of Japanese transportation conglomerate Subaru Corporation (formerly known as Fuji Heavy Industries), the twenty-first largest automaker by production worldwide in 2017.
