The Subaru Global Platform (γΉγγ«γ°γγΌγγ«γγ©γγγγ©γΌγ ), abbreviated as SGP, is the modular unibody automobile platform for nearly all models manufactured by Subaru, starting with the fifth-generation Subaru Impreza in 2016 .
The primary dynamic benefits of SGP compared to prior Subaru platforms were:
- improved strength
- increased rigidity
- a lowered center of gravity
In addition, moving to a common platform made production more flexible and efficient; existing production lines could shift to meet demand by producing different models without significant reconfiguration, and common parts could be reused between models.
As of 2021, SGP underpins all of the vehicles built and sold by Subaru. The WRX, debuted its second generation on September 10, 2021 for model year 2022. The WRX was the last model to move to the SGP.
