DOHA:  Mannai Trading Company WLL, the exclusive dealer for Subaru, opened its newest showroom on E-Industrial Street recently, in the presence of the Japanese Ambassador to Qatar, Kazuo Sunaga, Senior Subaru Corporation Executives, and Khalid Mannai, Vice-Chairman of the Executive Committee, Mannai Corporation. The showroom is now home to a world of fantastic cars, including the Subaru XV, BRZ, Impreza, WRX and WRX STI.

The new facility, which accommodates many of Subaru’s premium new and used vehicles, provides additional access for Service and Parts department, which will cater to all your Subaru aftersales needs. “The new showroom is now within easy reach of Al-Rayyan and Doha,” said Ivor D’Cunha, Senior General Manager- Operations (Mannai Automotive). “It will provide more access to many aftersales products, services, and parts, which will ease the purchase experience for new car buyers.”

Tatsuya Sone, Manager for Subaru Middle East, added: “We’re delighted to be opening an integrated facility that will enable us to deliver the highest possible level of customer service standards. We believe this showroom will be a major destination for Subaru owners in Qatar.”

The showroom highlights the XV, which is one of the most highly versatile vehicles on the market today. Whether it’s a ride out to the family or an intimate getaway with a loved one, the XV is always ready for a good time.

The SUBARU XV instills confidence behind the wheel with its high driving position and excellent visibility while conquering rough roads with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and its high ground clearance. Now, with the addition of X-MODE, it’s more fun to drive than ever before and adds a whole new range of possible destinations, and gets you there with peace of mind.

The SUBARU XV’s interior is refined and sporty. More spacious and polished than ever before, the contoured seats provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience. It also comes with a power-sliding tilt-adjustable glass sunroof to allow light in the cabin for a pleasant and comfortable ride. It comes with a 4.2-inch full-color LCD meter display that helps you understand useful driving information with a quick glance so you can keep your eyes on the road.

The Adaptive Cruise Control doesn’t only maintain the speed the driver sets as traditional cruise control does. When it senses a vehicle in front, Adaptive Cruise Control adjusts the speed to keep a set distance from the lead vehicle by monitoring the distance and the difference of the speed.

It adjusts the engine, transmission, and brake to keep your speed in line with the traffic flow in a wide range approximately from 0 km/h to 180 km/h. Designed for use on freeways, highways, and similar roads, Adaptive Cruise Control actually detects a lead vehicle and its brake lamps and can help keep pace in stop-and-go highway traffic.

Subaru believes in all-round safety, hence Eyesight, its cutting-edge driving support system. Like a second pair of eyes for the road ahead, EyeSight uses two stereo cameras to capture three-dimensional color images with excellent image recognition, nearly as capable as the human eye. Using images from both cameras to precisely determine the shape, speed, and distance, it detects not only vehicles but also motorbikes, bicycles, and pedestrians.
