BOXER engine. This powerplant incorporates
the Dual Active Valve Control System to
vary the timing of both the intake and
exhaust valves to optimize performance, fuel
efficiency and emissions. The Impreza also
features a more efficient exhaust system that
heats up the catalytic converter quicker
after start-up, thereby reducing emissions
even further.
Compared to the previous version, a
2.5-litre SOHC SUBARU BOXER, the new
engine is more responsive thanks to its
lighter weight, and runs smoother thanks
to reduced friction. The 2.0-litre SUBARU
BOXER produces 148 horsepower,
145 lb-ft of torque and an astonishing
30% increase in fuel efficiency compared to
the 2.5-litre engine.

the highway, the new Subaru Impreza equipped
