Subaru Chiffon 2019– car dimensions: 3395 mm long, 1475 mm wide and 1755 mm high. Unladen weight is 880 kg.
Cabin is tall and open with easy entry via pillarless miracle open doors on the passenger side. Auto climate control is standard. Smart Assist gives automatic emergency braking on every grade, with expanded detection for cyclists and crossing pedestrians at intersections. Parking sensors with front and rear coverage are standard. Higher grades and packages add full-speed adaptive cruise, lane keep control, and a 9-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Reversing camera comes with the audio upgrade options.
Boot floor sits low with a wide opening for easy loading. Rear seats split and slide independently, and a two-level cargo board creates flat space or underfloor storage when seats fold.
The cabin feels open and practical with 1370 mm interior height and long-slide front seats that let you move easily between rows without stepping out. Higher grades use a front bench seat with armrests plus fabric or leather-fabric mixes that wipe clean. All-around UV and IR cut glass keeps sun and heat down so the auto air con works less hard. Seat heaters warm the front cushions and backs on most versions while rear foot ducts add warmth. Power sliding doors and easy closers make loading kids or bags simple in tight spaces.

Smart Assist covers the daily safety basics on every grade. It brakes for cars, walkers and bikes in day or night, holds speed and lane on the motorway pack, and stops pedal mix-ups. VDC, ABS with EBD and a full set of airbags round out the kit. JNCAP gives the car four stars overall and a solid B for crash protection.
Living with the Chiffon is easy thanks to the big sliding doors, long-slide seats and flexible cargo board.
