SUBARU BOXER® Engine
Few cars deliver the thrilling eagerness and spontaneity of the Subaru
Crosstrek. It’s achieved with the horizontally opposed SUBARU BOXER®
engine, which places the pistons 180 degrees apart for a lower, flatter
profile compared to other engine types. This gives the powerplant—and
by extension the whole car—a lower centre of gravity and more balanced
weight distribution. In addition, the pistons’ opposing movements
counteract each other, which naturally reduces vibration.

The power to stir excitement comes from the rich and immediate response
of the PZEV-rated 2.0-litre DOHC SUBARU BOXER® engine. The Dual Active
Valve Control System (Dual AVCS) and an optimized intake provide a generous
amount of low-end torque, ensuring you have the acceleration you need around
town. That performance comes responsibly, too—cylinder-mounted injectors,
lightweight pistons and connecting rods mean it’s as frugal with fuel as it is
clean-burning. In addition, due to its vibration-cancelling SUBARU BOXER®
layout, power and efficiency come with refinement that’s made for urban living.
