After Impreza and Forester, "small" home Subaru is renewed. In this way, in record time, when you think about the upcoming launch of the new Legacy and Outback, renewed the entire range of the house below the Pleiades' teaches a new stylistic imprint while maintaining the very high technological content and innovative technical solutions.
Sensitive to the needs of the European market in terms of cars suitable for use in the city and for short-medium haul trips, but rich in technology and advanced security solutions with both active and passive, Subaru Justy proposed in 1996.
Today launched on the market is the third generation.
It is, as current requirements dictate, a small minivan with features cutting-edge techniques, driven by a brilliant 1.3l engine from 93 hp (69 kW) of maximum power.
The new generation of Justy, signed G3X, is characterized externally by the taut lines and very personal, with a major front, highlighted by two lights in a very "family feeling" with the rest of the production of Nissan.
The next has a high waist, well-profiled which agrees perfectly with the cutting of the two doors and large windows. See and be seen, the first rule for active safety, it also seems the slogan with which he made this nice car which, thanks to large windows, large interior volume and height of no less than 170mm from the ground, allows for ideal driving in terms of visibility and traffic control.
In this context, to interpret even the bright and the rear hatch is easy and convenient access.
As you can see a compact car, its length is 3.77 m, but both very large and the internal forms of easy and convenient use. Just to mention, with the seats folded down, the total capacity of the boot is as high as 526 liters.
The interior is very nice, both in the layout of the controls and users, as well as in shape and finish of the furniture. Particularly noteworthy is the attention to detail and materials, worthy of a far greater segment.
The same can be said for the technical solutions.
The engine in the first place. Subaru Justy is the only one who, for reasons of space and distribution of the transmission, does not use a boxer engine. Always been the engine of the small house is a Subaru four-cylinder placed transversely.
In this new version is always the displacement of 1.3l but it is a completely new engine. Among the gems techniques to emphasize the dual overhead camshaft which allows you to use a variable valve timing for the intake side. Static electronic ignition, fuel injection "single point", variable valve timing and four valves per cylinder, all high-tech solutions that allow this brilliant engine performance data to achieve respectable fuel consumption and emissions to a minimum.
The maximum power achieved is 93 hp (69 kW) at 6000 r / min, while peak torque, delivered at 4100 r / min, reaches about 118 Nm
Brilliant engine, body with high ground clearance, great visibility and ease of driving, all conditions for comfortable and roomy car but is also able to move in difficult terrain, with more cumbersome environmental conditions with a high safety reserve. Especially when equipped with four-wheel drive.
Since this is a Subaru is logical to think that even the "small" G3X Justy is equipped with four-wheel drive. Indeed so, although it should be made a little distinction between this car and sisters of the range.
The point of distinction is that the rest of the range is characterized by transmission system with three differentials, a front and a rear central one. Mechanical displacement contraddisitngue undoubtedly a quattro permanent AWD, meaning that all wheels are rigidly and permanently connected to the engine. In G3X Justy, as in the model that preceded it, the connection between the front and rear is made through a viscous coupling which "moves" will be a small percentage of torque to the rear axle, to be exact 50% of the total when the front axle, for reasons of poor adherence, is not able to ground all the torque it invests.
In fact, we can say that is a four-wheel drive (because all the wheels are always supplied with a percentage of torque) "intelligent" (because the total torque produced by the engine is automatically distributed to the four-wheel drive in a symmetrical manner and only when conditions require greater traction motor skills).
Active safety at the highest level then, because the viscous coupling is located on the rear differential for a more balanced weight distribution.
To summarize the performance data of this car can be said that the acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h is equal to 11.7 sec, while top speed reaches about 155 km / h, with a claimed average fuel consumption of 6.9 l/100 km.
The car, being intended exclusively for the European market, is produced in factories in Europe, the Magyar Suzuki Corporation in Esztergon, near Budapest, directly under the aegis of Fuji Heavy Industries, which designed, in addition to aesthetics, the development of wheel drive in the logic of global collaboration of GM's factories.
