The two electric motors will be used in different situations as needed. The rear motor is used in acceleration situations and to run the vehicle at 'extremely low speeds' in all electric power.
The front electric motor serves as a power generator and in accelerating uphiill, assisting the gas engine which does most of the powering.
Subaru has said they are planning on a hybrid vehicle, maybe as early as 2011, but are planning on licensing the hybrid synergy drive from Toyota. So it's unclear how much of what you see in the Tourer will show up in a production vehicle.
The gas engine shuts off when the vehicle comes to a stop, and regenerative braking helps to recharge the battery pack. The lithium-ion battery pack is derived from the Subaru Stella EV which just launched in Japan.
