The history of the brand dates back to 1953, when Fuji Heavy Industries was reborn from its own ruins.
It had a difficult history - three years ago it was called Fuji Sangye Limited, this company was engaged in military aircraft before the war, and after the war - everything in a row, eventually falling apart into 12 small companies at once.
After some time, 5 of them realized that being together was more interesting and merged again into one, built on the same principle that, which fell apart.
What did FHI do at first! Tools, buses, scooters, aircraft engines - its portfolio was much larger.
The vast experience accumulated over the years of military aviation allowed it to achieve excellent results
In 1954, FHI became interested in the idea of creating a people's Japanese car.
The small country had still not recovered from the crushing defeat and the car remained a luxury as before.
A very successful model P1 was developed (now it is also known as Subaru 1500), which was never intended to go into production. But on its basis, a much simpler and cheaper model 360 was created.
In 1958, it was launched and was produced for 11 years, becoming the current Japanese bestseller (six hundred were sold in the first year alone).
Thus, a new brand appeared. The word "Subaru" is translated from Japanese as "Pleiades". This name arose thanks to Kenji Kita, the then president of the company.
In those years, no one in the company that produced such a tiny car as Subaru 360 even thought about how many victories their next product would be able to win in rally races. It was these victories that ensured the success of the Subaru brand in the world market.
However, they were still far away - they would happen in the 90s of the 20th century.
The famous rally racer Colin McRae won his first victories on Subaru cars, in whose honor the computer simulator game Colin McRae Rally would later be named.
Subaru was the first to start producing all-wheel drive cars, which were quickly appreciated by outdoor enthusiasts, hunters and fishermen.
Today, the production volumes of Subaru cars are relatively low, especially compared to other Japanese manufacturers.
But a famous name and good technical characteristics ensure the success of any new model - be it a tiny Elten or a massive Outback.
