Meanwhile in Russia...

The 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek was the Grand Prize Winner of the Cosmopolitan contest in Russia.  

 

Why do Russian Women seem to love the XV?

Russian women and Cosmopolitan magazine sure do like the all-wheel-drive Subaru XV crossover. Beautiful women like cars and Cosmo Russia, the international fashion magazine for women, gave away a new Subaru car to a lucky 19 year-old. The Grand Prize of the magazine’s contest was a new 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek. It’s not the first time the women’s fashion magazine has featured the Subaru XV.

Cosmo likes Subaru

Cosmopolitan Woman’s magazine is a global business, and they seem to like Subaru. It isn’t the first contest they’ve had where the prize had something to do with a Subaru XV. Other contests have included winning extreme winter driving courses from Subaru in the XV and dinner with Russia rally 2010 champion Sergey Gerashchenco.

Successful woman think the Subaru XV is sexy

Cosmo magazine even featured a story called “Success Secrets” of Helena Ischeeva who is a Russian TV journalist and successful business woman talking about her Subaru XV. She has a passion for driving and said, “I love the speed and can’t imagine my life without driving my Subaru XV. It makes me feel like a young naughty girl.” 

The most recent Cosmo Russia contest’s Grand Prize was also a Subaru XV crossover. Contestants of the Cosmo project theme "Generation Cosmo”, were required to come up with the most creative magazine issue. A 19 year-old named Catherine from the Azov, Rostov region of Russia was recognized as the most vibrant and creative and won a 2015 Subaru XV.
Catherine was given the keys to the new XV from the Subaru dealer in Krylatskoye. The 19 year old is a student at a local medical college and the 2015 Subaru XV became her very first car. Maybe Russian women like the XV crossover because it’s a sexy model and the all-wheel-drive vehicle also gives them a feeling of security in the cold Russian winters.

How 2015 Subaru Outback gets its DNA from aerospace industry

The 2015 Subaru Outback benefits directly from Fuji Heavy Industries involvement in the aerospace industry.

 

The new generation 2015 Subaru Outback’s DNA can be traced all the way back to FHI’s involvement in the aircraft industry from 1917. Subaru, the automotive branch of Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), was formed in 1953 by the merger of five companies that were previously part of Japan's first private aircraft manufacturer, Nakajima Aircraft Ltd. Today, FHI is still involved in the aerospace industry. 

Subaru benefits from FHI’s other divisions

Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., the maker of Subaru automobiles, has an aerospace division who makes parts for Boeing, helicopters, aviation business jets and industrial power products. They also have an Eco Technology Division that manufactures garbage trucks, robot sweepers and wind turbines. 

Outback Boxer engine technology comes from FHI

The best example of how FHI uses what they learn from their aerospace division, is their revolutionary horizontally opposed boxer engine which applies this technology to their Subaru vehicles. FHI has committed to maximizing the advantages of its Boxer engines and has continued to enhance them to power its vehicles since 1966.

Today, Porsche is the only other volume automaker employing boxer engine technology. Subaru produces more boxer engines in more configurations than anyone else, with 2.0- and 2.5-liter four-cylinder, 3.6-liter six-cylinder, naturally aspirated and turbocharged, and gasoline and diesel versions all currently in production. The Boxer engine has reached a milestone and has hit the 15 million mark in production.

FHI uses technology for their automotive division

Today, FHI is participating in the development and production of the Boeing 777X next-generation large passenger jet. FHI is working with Boeing Aircraft and will be in charge of building the center wing section, integration of the center wing section with the main landing gear wheel wells, main landing gear doors and wing-to-body fairings (forward). Subaru’s parent company will gain new information that can be shared with their automotive division and their performance and motorsports division.

What makes FHI so successful, is the fact that they share technological advancements with their automobile division Subaru, which helps the Japanese automaker have a great deal of technological and financial resources to draw from. Many of the advancements that went into the new 2015 Subaru Outback came from what FHI’s learned from the aerospace industry.
