Vivio RX-RA

The Subaru Vivio is a car model of the Subaru automobile brand in the microcar class ( K-Car ).

It was introduced in the spring of 1992 as the successor to the Subaru Rex and thus represented the fourth generation of Subaru's subcompacts, starting with the Subaru 360 .

On the one hand, the name Vivio can be understood as an allusion to the displacement of 660 cm³. If you write the number 6 with Roman numerals and replace the number 0 with O, the result is: VI VI O. On the other hand, the name is associated with the English word for lively (vivid).

Subaru Vivio Bistro

The vehicle, which at the time had a very modern body, was optionally available as a three- or five-door hatchback or as a two-seater roadster (only in Japan ). A retro version decorated with nostalgic chrome jewelry was sold as Vivio Bistro in 1995 . Furthermore, front-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles as well as manually and automatically shifted vehicles were offered. The three-door, supercharged Vivios are called GX-R, GX-T, RX-R and RX-RA. The RX-RA is a basic model for motorsport, which is only available with all-wheel drive.

The model was not officially sold in Germany, the Vivios sold there mainly come from the Benelux countries.

The end of production of the Vivio, which is one of the so-called 'K-Cars' in Japan, was in 1998. In China , the Vivio was produced under license by Guizhou Youngman Yunque Automobile Company as GHK 7070 .
