<p><strong>Jakarta, 11 Oktober 2009 -</strong> Meski potensi pasar varian Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) atau mobil keluarga di Indonesia sangat besar, namun distibutor utama Subaru di Indonesia yaitu PT TC Subaru hanya memasarkan 20 &#8211; 30 unit Subaru Exiga. </p>
<p><!--more-->Penjualan dalam jumlah terbatas varian terbaru Subaru itu selain karena jatah dari prinsipal Subaru memang terbatas, juga untuk melakukan tes pasar di Indonesia.</p>
<p>&#8220;Kami juga tidak memasang target penjualan untuk tahun ini. Tujuan kami adalah untuk memperkenalkan kepada publik bahwa Subaru memiliki varian MPV. Kedua, kami ingin mengisi kekosongan segmen pasar MPV Rp 400 juta ke bawah yang saat ini ada sedikit kekosongan,&#8221; tutur Jimmy Halim, Country Manager PT TC Subaru, <a href="http://rajufebrian.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/exiga-mobil-keluarga-baru-dari-subaru/">di sela peluncuran Subaru Exiga, di Jakarta</a>, Jumat (09/10).</p>
<p>MPV pertama Subaru ini, harus bersaing ketat dengan Honda Odisey, Toyota Kijang Innova, Mitsubishi Grandis, serta VW Touran yang lebih duluan meluncur di pasar Indonesia. Meski, sebagai pendatang baru, namun Jimmy mengaku optimistis Exiga bakal laku. </p>
<p>Seiring dengan peluncuran varian baru itu, PT TC Subaru juga akan menambah dealer baru guna menambah layanan purna jual kepada konsumen. &#8220;Rencanannya, dua sampai tiga dealer baru pada tahun ini dan tahun depan. Di Medan, Surabaya, dan di Jakarta,&#8221; tandas Jimmy.</p>
<p>Sementara itu, Nicky Mariano, Chief Operation Officer Sales and Marketing Subaru ASEAN, mengaku optimitis Subaru akan berkembang di Indonesia. &#8220;Saya yakin bahwa Subaru akan menjadi merek besar di Indonesia dalam dua hingga lima tahun ke depan. Pasar MPV di Indonesia cukup besar, kami memiliki potensi besar untuk segmen ini,&#8221; ujarnya.</p>
<p>Nicky menandaskan, pihaknya menargetkan, seluruh varian Subaru terjual 100 unit hingga akhir tahun ini. Hingga September lalu, total penjualan seluruh produk Subaru hanya 32 unit. &#8220;Saya yakin brand awareness Subaru di masyarakat Indonesia akan berkembang,&#8221; tegas Nicky.</p>
<p>Exiga ditawarkan dalam dua tipe, yaitu Exiga 2.0GT dan Exiga 2.0i. &#8220;Keunggulan Exiga antara lain fitur Subaru Intelligent Chassis. Dan tipe 2.0 GT dilengkapi turbocharger,&#8221; terang Jimmy. Exiga tipe 2.0i dibanderol Rp338 juta on the road dan Exiga 2.0 GT Rp 488 juta on the road.</p>

<p><strong>Jakarta, 9 Oktober 2009 -</strong> Subaru resmi meluncurkan varian Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) pertamanya, di pasar Indonesia. Varian yang ditawarkan dalam dua tipe yaitu Subaru Exiga 2.0GT dan EXIGA 2.0i, menurut Jimmy Halim, Country Manager PT TC Subaru, distributor utama Subaru di Indonesia, MPV Subaru itu memiliki keunggulan khas yang tidak dimiliki MPV lain sekelasnya. </p>
<p><!--more-->&#8220;Keunggulan komparatif dan kompetitif MPV kami dilengkapi Subaru Intelligent Chassis (S-I Chassis). Teknologi ini menghasilkan potensi berkendara yang sempurna dengan kestabilan dan kendali yang responsif. Dan pada tipe 2.0 GT dilengkapi turbocharger,&#8221; tutur Jimmy, di sela acara peluncuran kendaraan tersebut, di Jakarta, Jumat (09/10) malam. </p>
<p>S-I Chassis adalah sistem suspensi yang memberikan kestabilan dan kontrol. Sementara,mesin boxer yang ringan dan kompak menjadikan titik gravitasi Exiga lebih rendah. &#8220;Dan dengan mesin Boxer 2.0 liter DOHC Turbo, Exiga 2.0 GT merupakan satu-satunya MPV di pasar yang bermesin turbo 2.0 liter. Exiga juga dilengkapi Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive),&#8221; terang Jimmy. </p>
<p><img src="http://rajufebrian.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/12-10-subaru-exiga-02.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>SI-Drive adalah sistem yang dapat dimodifikasi pengendara untuk memilih modus berkendara yang menentukan performa mobilnya. Tipe ini menggunakan sistem transimisi otomatis dengan lima kecepatan, Sportshift (E-5AT Sportshift). Sedangkan EXIGA 2.0i menmggunakan mesi Boxer 2.0 liter DOHC dengan sistem transmisi empat kecepatan Sportshift (E-4AT Sportshift).</p>
<p>Di sisi interior, penataan dekoratif MPV tujuh penumpang ini menggunakan pola horizontal dari panel tengah dashboard ke arah pintu menambah kesan luas dan mewah di interior kabin. Kesan elegan semakin kuat dengan adanya sentuhan metal dan temaram LED biru di konsol overhead dan kaki deret pertama dan kedua. </p>
<p>Tak lupa sejumlah fitur keselamatan dan keamanan disematkan di mobil ini. Dengan stuktur bodi termasuk pilar dan rangka lateral mampu melindungi kabin. Sementara penguatan rangka ring-shaped, rangka mobil dapat bertahan dari tekanan dan benturan. </p>
<p>Fitur lainnya, SRS dua front airbags, sabuk pengaman dengan titik-titik pretension, antilocking brake system (ABS) yang dilengkapi electronic brake force distribution (EBD). Exiga tipe 2.0i dibanderol Rp 338 juta on the road Jakarta, dan Exiga 2.0GT Rp 488 juta on the road Jakarta. MPV Subaru ini harus bersaing ketat dengan Toyota Kijang Innova, Honda Odyssey, serta Mitsubishi Grandis.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Компания Subaru (что, кстати, в переводе означает &#8220;Плеяды&#8221; &#8211; именно это созвездие ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://pofigist.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/subaru_logo.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1405" title="subaru_logo" src="http://pofigist.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/subaru_logo.png?w=300" alt="subaru_logo" width="300" height="174" /></a>Компания Subaru (что, кстати, в переводе означает &#8220;Плеяды&#8221; &#8211; именно это созвездие и изображено на шильдике каждой машины, продающейся под этим брендом) была образована в начале 1950-х годов в ходе так называемого процесса анти-zaibatsu (я специально не пишу это в русской транскрипции). Процесс этот представляет собой что-то вроде антимонопольного насильственного разделения компаний на части, с целью увеличения конкуренции. В любом случае, этот пост, все-таки, о Subaru, а не о японских бизнес-правилах игры, так что будем считать, что это все неважно. Важно то, что в результате этого самого анти-zaibatsu была образована некая фирмочка, называемая Fuji Heavy Industry (не путать с другой компанией Fuji, которая Film). И вот эта самая FHI, в качестве одного из своих приоритетов выдвинула план выпуска автомобилей. Так и появился на свет бренд Subaru.</p>
<p>Компания, за всю свою недолгую историю существования, сотрудничала с многими автофирмами, а с некоторыми продолжает работать и по сей день. Так, например, Subaru   поставляет комплектующие для Nissan, FIAT и Suzuki, выпускает на своем заводе в Индиане (США) Toyota Camry и продает под своим брендом Justy машины, сделанные Daihatsu. Причины такого поведения заключаются вот в чем &#8211; в свое время, Nissan выкупил 20% акций Fuji Heavy Industry (им так приказала правящая партия). Позже, когда Nissan стал испытывать финансовые проблемы и был создан альянс Renault-Nissan, эти акции были проданы General Motors, которая, попав в свою очередь, в финансовую пятую точку, продала их в 2005 году. Но, в то время, руководство GM активно заигрывало с FIAT (чем и объясняются поставки комплектующих данной конторе), но, вытащив итальянскую фирму из проблем (GM выплатила FIAT 2 миллиарда долларов за то, что не купила сию компанию), General Motors сама увязла в долгах и была вынуждена продать акции FHI.  Часть этих акций была куплена Suzuki, в то время еще находившейся под примерно таким же влиянием GM, как и Subaru &#8211; тогда General Motors владела 20% Suzuki (что, впрочем, продолжалось недолго). В то же время, так получилось, что инженеры Fuji Heavy Industry сумели разработать какую-то суперкрутую батарею, пригодную для использования в гибридных и электромобилях. Toyota, которой такая технология требовалась, как воздух, решила, что неплохо было заиметь лицензию на батареи. Однако, по слухам, FHI отказалась лицензировать технологию и Toyota, в своих лучших традициях, просто купила 8.6% акций FHI, после чего, у последней не осталось вариантов  (см <a href="http://www.gazeta.ru/auto/2005/10/05_a_449075.shtml">статью</a>). К слову сказать, так поступает не только Toyota, но и группа ГАЗ. Когда небольшой английский производитель развозных фургонов LDV отказался продавать лицензию на Maxus, ГАЗ просто купил всю фирму с потрохами, получив в свое владение все их разработки.</p>
<p>Однако, поскольку Subaru &#8211; все-таки, не LDV, то купить их сразу и оптом у Toyota не получилось (да и незачем было). Однако, совсем недавно, Toyota объявила о том, что она собирается увеличить количество принадлежащих им акций Subaru (см <a href="http://www.fhi.co.jp/english/news/press/2008/08_04_10e-1.html">пресс-релиз</a> ), а также будет выпускать спортивное купе вместе с Subaru. Кроме того Subaru <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/subaru-to-stop-making-kei-cars/">прекратит</a> выпуск машин kei-класса (маленькие городские автомобили) и заменит их на те, что выпускаются под брендом Daihatsu (которым владеет все та же Toyota).</p>
<p>Ну, что, голова еще кругом не пошла? Я пока разбирался в хитросплетениях взаимоотношений между Toyota, Subaru, Suzuki, Nissan и Daihatsu уже получил головную боль.</p>
<p>Вкратце, вот что получается:<br />
1. Subaru прекратит выпуск компактных автомобилей, за исключением R1e.<br />
2. R1e &#8211; это электромобиль, начинка которого создана Toyota на базе батареек Subaru<br />
3. Subaru делает Toyota Camry на своем заводе в Индиане.<br />
4. Subaru продолжает поставлять комплектующие Suzuki, Nissan и FIAT<br />
5. Компактные автомобили, продающиеся под брендом Subaru &#8211; это Daihatsu.</p>
<p>По поводу последнего: все, что меньше Impreza &#8211; это не Subaru. Те, кому очень нравилась предыдущая модель Justy, могут просто пойти и купить Daihatsu Sirion &#8211; дешевле обойдется, а машина одна и та же. Если надо что-то побольше, то новая версия псевдо-миниMPV (название от Subaru еще неизвестно) &#8211; это просто Daihatsu Materia (или Coo на японском рынке). Вот такие дела.</p>
<p>А теперь посмотрим на то, что же будет продаваться под этим брендом на нашем рынке.</p>
<p><a href="http://pofigist.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/subaru_r1e.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1406" title="subaru_r1e" src="http://pofigist.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/subaru_r1e.jpg?w=300" alt="subaru_r1e" width="300" height="200" /></a><strong>Модель: </strong><em>Subaru R1e</em><br />

<strong>Конкуренты:</strong> <em>Mitsubishi i-MIEV, Smart ED, Th!nk City</em><br />
<strong>Начало продаж в UK:</strong> <em>2009 год</em><br />
<strong>Шансы:</strong> <em>Если цена будет относительно невысокой (скажем, в пределах 12 тысяч фунтов), машина сможет составить серьезную конкуренцию недо-машинам (официально &#8211; квадрициклам) Th!nk и G-Wiz, но только в крупных городах. Покупка такого электромобиля на периферии не имеет никакого смысла.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://pofigist.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/subaru_exiga.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1407" title="subaru_exiga" src="http://pofigist.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/subaru_exiga.jpg?w=300" alt="subaru_exiga" width="300" height="166" /></a><strong>Модель: </strong><em>Subaru Exiga</em><br />

<strong>Конкуренты:</strong> <em>Ford S-Max, VW Touran, VW Sharan, Seat Alhambra</em><br />
<strong>Начало продаж в UK:</strong> <em>2009 год</em><br />
<strong>Шансы:</strong> <em>Скока-скока? 27 тысяч?! Бензиновый минивэн, пусть даже и &#8220;драйверский&#8221; не имеет никаких шансов на британском рынке, тем более за такие деньги. Если в Exiga поставят 2.0л дизель, который уже устанавливается в Legacy и Forester, то, возможно, это спасет машину на нашем рынке. </em></p>
<p><a href="http://pofigist.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/subaru_imprezad.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1408" title="subaru_imprezad" src="http://pofigist.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/subaru_imprezad.jpg?w=300" alt="subaru_imprezad" width="300" height="166" /></a><strong>Модель: </strong><em>Subaru Impreza D</em><br />

<strong>Цена: </strong><em>нет данных</em><br />
<strong>Конкуренты:</strong> <em>VF Golf TFSI GT, Ford Focus, Mazda 3</em><br />
<strong>Начало продаж в UK:</strong> <em>2009 год</em><br />
<strong>Шансы:</strong> <em>Не сильно высокие &#8211; бренд позиционируется, как &#8220;драйверский&#8221; и немногие покупают Impreza без шильдика WRX или STI. Но, возможно, наличие дизельного двигателя привлечет тех, кто хотел бы покрасоваться ( (притянутая за уши фраза) в псевдогорячем хэтчбеке.<br />
</em></p>

<strong>Шансы:</strong> <em>Legacy не особо популярна в Британии (врочем, как и сам бренд Subaru, за исключением спортивных моделей &#8211; в это он повторяет судьбу Mitsubishi). Может быть, рестайлинг вкупе с новым дизелем поможет продажам? Но я настроен скептически. Особенно, когда по статистике, продажи Subaru в сентябре этого года, упали аж на <a href="http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-Results/Industry-News/UK-sales-slide-continues-worst-market-for-17-years/">40%</a><br />

<span style="text-decoration:underline;"></p>
<p></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Based on the concept of a seven-seater with panoramic visibility for the touring experience, the Subaru Exiga has been developed to provide a safe and pleasant journey for all occupants. Capitalizing on its accumulated know-how from building wagons and crossover SUVs, Subaru has succeeded in creating open and comfortable interior space for all the passengers to easily engage in conversation and share the experience of touring enhanced by dramatic wide-angle views through the windows.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">The new model represents Subaru&#8217;s latest proposal for a new type of multi-passenger vehicle, built on Subaru&#8217;s strengths in vehicle stability, low noise, and quality ride &#8211; all realized by Subaru&#8217;s Horizontally-Opposed engine layout and the Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept (Subaru DC3).</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Seven passengers</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Despite a body size that&#8217;s convenient for maneuvering, the Subaru Exiga comfortably accommodates up to seven occupants, ensuring ample space and a pleasant ride for each passenger. Excellent utility and comfort have been added through the adoption of new designs for better visibility, ingress/egress, and cargo space.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Interior design</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Decorative insets with a horizontally flowing pattern from the center panel of the dashboard to the door trim add spaciousness and a quality look to the interior. Rich and refined interior design is further accentuated by the center panel, which combines wood and metal finishes, as well as by the indirect blue LED light installed on the overhead console, center tray and some foot areas.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Ivory tone that accentuates openness and light, and black tone, which highlights both sportiness and elegance, are available as interior colors.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">The seats are newly designed to firmly support the occupants and reduce fatigue, even during a long drive, and the seat cushions are made thick to effectively absorb vibration and provide comfort.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">The meter module on the instrument panel is distinctively designed with the meter background faces illuminated in blue to make the white dials clearly readable. The Sport Luminescent Meter, outlined with chrome-plated meter rings, is available on the 2.0GT, 2.0i-L, and 2.0i-S.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Powertrain</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><em>2.0-liter DOHC Engine (2.0i, 2.0i-L, 2.0i-S)</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">The use of a redesigned DOHC cylinder head and the active valve control system (AVCS) promotes excellent environmental performance. Also better fuel economy is realized through adoption of the regular gasoline engine.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">With the optimization of the diameter and length of the intake manifold, and the adoption of the equal length/constant pulsation independent exhaust system, the engine&#8217;s intake and exhaust performance has been elevated.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Two catalytic convertors have been placed in tandem. The layout enables the convertors to quickly heat up, which facilitates catalytic activation during engine startup and improves on emission reduction efficiency.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">By expanding exhaust capacity with the twin mufflers, air flow resistance inside the mufflers is reduced, and excellent engine output characteristics and noise reduction are realized.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">The electric control sensor system helps reduce engine load and further improve fuel economy by controlling electric generation according to driving conditions.</span></p>
<ul style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;">
<li><span style="font-size:100%;">Max. power: 109 kW (148PS) @ 6,000 rpm</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:100%;">Max. torque: 191 Nm @ 3,200 rpm</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><em>2.0-liter DOHC Turbo Engine (2.0GT)</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">A lightweight, resin-based intake manifold is used. The inner walls of the manifold are smooth and less resistant to the intake flow, elevating intake efficiency.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">The turbo charger was exclusively developed for the Subaru Exiga. Optimization of its A/R and compressor, as well as a redesign of its turbine vane, have distinctively improved low-end torque and made powerful and responsive acceleration possible.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Also adopted is a secondary air system that forces air into the exhaust port to burn out any gasoline remaining in it. The system helps eliminate harmful substances when the powertrain is still cool, and it promotes early activation of a catalytic converter.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Through optimization of the construction of the intercooler, the pressure loss is kept at a minimum to improve cooling efficiency.</span></p>

<p>A Touring 7-seater for an exhilarating and liberating drive: The Exiga Concept.<br />
Aim of Development</p>
<p>The keyword is “7-Seater Panoramic Touring” . The Exiga Concept is a completely new 7-seater proposal which has an exceptional balance of roomy space with agile and easy driving even while comfortably seating 7 passengers. This was made possible by integrating Subaru’s packaging expertise cultivated over many years with the touring wagon, with the driving core technology leveraging Symmetrical AWD with a Horizontally-Opposed engine at its core. Subaru offers new and fun driving performance and a luxurious space of relaxation for all passengers.</p>
<p><strong>Main Features</strong></p>
<p>A lofty 360-degree panorama view To create a spacious and ample interior that is pleasant for all 7</p>
<p>passengers, we have incorporated a super-size glass roof. To ensure that all seats have nice panoramic views, the seats are gradually higher toward the back in a theater layout.</p>
<p>Visibility around the vehicle is further secured by eight view monitors in the instrument panel. Combined with excellent direct visibility, there is no need to be anxious about maneuvering the</p>
<p>vehicle.</p>
<p>A combination of pleasant driving and a comfortable ride With the excellent weight balance of Subaru’s unique Symmetrical AWD coming from its low center of gravity and the newly developed chassies that offers innovative driving, we have balanced pleasant driving and a comfortable ride typical of a Subaru, all while securing interior comfort for 7 passengers.</p>
<p>For the power unit, we have combined a 2-liter Horizontally-Opposed turbo engine that balances power feeling that is characteristic of a higher displacement naturally-aspirated (NA) engine and</p>
<p>excellent mileage, with a precisely controlling 5-speed automatic transmission. This allows for powerful and smooth driving, even with 7 passengers.</p>
<p><strong>Design</strong></p>
<p>The fusion of function and beauty, combining agile and reassuring driving performance with enriched interior space, all suggest the direction of Subaru design.<br />
Exterior</p>
<p>The airy and enriched interior space was rendered with a body consisting of a firm surface texture that suggests superb athletic ability, like a well-proportioned athlete’s body. The bright candy red</p>
<p>and pearlescent coloring expresses its unparalleled presence, well-defined dimensions, and powerful dynamism.</p>
<p>While creating an exterior that is suggestive of its airy cabin space, we have optimized the A-pillar angle for good visibility. For the side rear view camera, we have incorporated a wedge-shape to</p>
<p>render the momentum from the A-pillar flow. We used LED for the headlights and created a unique design that combines function and playfulness.</p>
<p><strong>Interior</strong></p>
<p>The theme is a luxurious and adult space that offers relaxation. The bright and high-quality leather interior using mostly pearl white and blue suggests the refreshing and luxurious feel of being on a cruiser deck. Additionally, a clear blue display zone that stretches from left to right has been installed in the instrumental panel. This shows many faces, at times a safe range of view and at times entertainment for its passengers.</p>
<p>The seats securely support the bodies of passengers while in motion and also offer convenience with versatile arranging. The seats in the back are equipped with folding tables similar to passenger airplanes. A soothing space is rendered at night with indirect lighting on the ceiling and side doors, giving this a different look from daytime.</p>
