Subaru has released images of its G4e Concept ahead of its Tokyo Motor Show debut. Designed as a “futuristic environment-friendly concept,” the G4e is electric-powered and can accommodate five passengers. Although Subaru was scarce on details, it did reveal that the G4e runs on lithium-ion batteries stored underneath the floor.
Through the use of of high-performance next-generation lithium-ion batteries and a lightened body, Subaru claims the G4e can travel 200 kilometers between charges.
Check back for more details after the G4e’s official unveiling later this month.

120 miles between charges is hardly revolutionary for next gen lithium-ion batteries. The body reminiscent of SX4 Suzuki, albeit with very ugly grill.

seat 5? like a clown car i suspect, and probably has a top speed of 60 mph with the lack of space for batteries, only so many you can stick under the floor and the hood (assuming no space for luggage) and it is really ugly and doesn’t look like a subaru

What’s the point? Are you really going to want to put five people in here.
This is like another poster called the Prius: a feel-good car for misguided tree huggers. It’s ugliness is a sign of the sacrifice they’re making for the cause. I like subarus, but this one doesn’t work for me

Jack, I think commodore would rather have a car, plus personally, I would rather have a Hayabusa than a japanese knock off of a Harley

They could make this at NUMMI with the next generation Vibe and Matrix.

When did Subaru jump on the J-Lo buttwagon like the Megane? Don’t like the interior, but maybe b/c it is red. Sadly, as ugly as it may be, it is not as bland as the Impreza.

Cars are necessary (I have 4 children), but there’s more than one way to get to work!
