In 2015, 98 percent of all Subaru vehicles sold worldwide had all-wheel drive. Worldwide, Subaru is the number 1 (world's largest manufacturer of all-wheel drive passenger cars). According to the importers' association auto-schweiz, more than 129,000 Subaru all-wheel-drive vehicles roll on Swiss roads every day.
