Order Books For The Subaru Evoltis Now Open, To Be Launched This April

Motor Image Pilipinas, the official distributor of Subaru vehicles in the Philippines, is now teasing the arrival of its upcoming seven-seater SUV called the Evoltis. Subaru’s biggest vehicle to date is destined to arrive this April 12 and should be a formidable competitor to the likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, Mazda CX-9, Ford Explorer, just to name a few.

At this point, you probably already know that the Evoltis is basically the Ascent three-row midsize crossover SUV sold in North America but with a different name. Design-wise, the Evoltis wears Subaru’s Dynamic x Solid design language, which means it features signature Subaru elements such as the C-shaped LED daytime running lights and a hexagonal front grille. It’s a clean design that, while conservative, looks handsome enough, and will surely age very well.

We can’t officially confirm which variant/s will be brought in, but based on the teaser that hints at its seven-seater arrangement, it’s safe to say that this SUV will be arriving with second-row captain’s chairs since the third-row of seats can accommodate three passengers. In North America, variants with those aforementioned captain’s chairs are the higher trim ones, which means we can safely expect features like a Harman Kardon sound system, power liftgate, tri-zone automatic climate control, just to name a few.

Powering the Subaru Evoltis will be a 2.4-liter horizontally-opposed four-cylinder boxer engine that produces 260 hp and 377 Nm of torque. Power is sent through all four wheels via a CVT.

Of course, the Subaru Evoltis will arrive with the brand’s EyeSight suite of advanced driver-assist systems, which includes automatic emergency braking, full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist. Other advanced rear-facing safety features should also be included such as rear automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert.
