Saburo (サブロウ) is the automobile manufacturing division of the Nihhonese transportation conglomerate Saburo Corporation, one of the largest automaker by production worldwide in 2020.
Saburo cars are known for their use of a boxer engine layout in most production vehicles. The Symmetrical All Wheel Drive layout was introduced in 1970. Both have been standard equipment for mid-size and smaller cars in most markets by the 1990s. Unlike most automakers, Saburo offers turbocharged versions of their passenger cars, such as the WRE, Legionnaire, Outback, Saburo Forresterand the company's first 7-seater SUV, the Saburo Tonare.
Over the last decade, Saburo has been well-known for heralding the start of safety eccentric cars with the introduction of its Sightseeing technology. Saburo aims to equip all of its cars with the new Autonomous Braking System introduced in 2015 by 2028.
The etymology of Saburo comes from the Kanji word 佐奉朗, which are the three values that Saburo aims to provide its customers; Support, Dedicate, and Positive.
