OverviewExcerpt in Japanese
スバル450は主に輸出向けで、そのため、発売前に4台が旧ソ連を含む12の国々を巡る耐久テストを行った。1台は運輸省（当時）の技官が5,000km、他の3台は東京工業大学の学者と学生2人によって15,000kmを走破した。その後、国外では「マイア」の名で販売された。 一方、日本国内向けはスバル450として販売され、1963年（昭和38年）5月のマイナーチェンジに伴い、車名をスバル450デラックスに改称した。 エンジンは360のEK31型エンジンを元にしたEK51型で、60.0 mmのストロークはそのまま、ボアを61.5 mmから67.0 mmに拡大して423 ccの排気量を得ている。これにより、最高速度は102km/hに達し、最大登坂力は18度となった。また、軽自動車規格に縛られないため、安全装備としてオーバーライダー付きの大型バンパーが装着され、全長が120mm伸びた。
