Japanese automaker Subaru now releases the details of its new model that will enter the super mini segment in the European market. Equipped with a wide range of features, high performance and fuel efficient powertrain, the Subaru's super mini model called the Justy will roll out in European dealerships carrying a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of only 8,495 British Pounds.
The Subaru Justy super mini features a three-cylinder 1.0 litre twin-overhead camshaft petrol engine under its hood. This power unit is capable of pumping out 69.3 PS at 6,000 rpm and 69.3 lb ft of torque at 3,600 rpm, allowing the super mini to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 13.5 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 100 mph. The 1.0 litre engine offers an impressive fuel economy for consumers, as it achieves 64.2 mpg Extra Urban. In addition, the Subaru Justy's engine offers very low harmful exhaust emissions of only 118 grams per kilometer. European consumers can also enjoy numerous benefits with this new super mini model like the five-year/60,000 mile warranty backed by five-years’ UK and European roadside assistance.
Lawrence Good, Subaru (UK) Limited Managing Director said: “Everyone is very enthusiastic about the new Justy as it is will appeal to environmentally-conscious motorists and those seeking ultra-low running costs. Subaru dealers enjoy strong customer loyalty and the new Justy gives them a much-needed entry-level car to sell to both existing customers and new prospects.”
On the other technical side, the new Subaru Justy is equipped with a European-tuned chassis including a long suspension-travel for a smooth ride. Anti-roll bars are also included to provide agile handling for the vehicle. These roll bars are located at the front and rear of the vehicle combined with firm damping. The front suspensions are made of MacPherson struts while the rear suspension features a torsion bar with separate coil springs. Other technical feats and systems include power steering, advanced braking system featuring anti-lock ventilated front discs, rear drums (ABS), and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). This optimises the braking force according to the weight distribution of passengers and luggage.
Other highlights of the Subaru Justy include driver and passenger front and rear curtain airbags, side and front and rear curtain airbags, alloy wheels, air-conditioning, four electric windows, reversing sensors, remote central-locking with alarm and ISOFIX child seat mountings, and 225 litres of luggage space. This model is also equipped with antenna (like Acura car antenna) for radio/CD player.
