Keep your profile low,
and your expectations high.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
The SUBARU BOXER® engine with its distinc tive horizontally opposed
pistons and revolutionary long-stroke design.
WHAT IT DOES:
It delivers inherent balance for exceptional smoothness, rigidity for high
strength, and a low centre of gravity to out-handle ordinary SUVs.
INNOVATION IN MOTION
The SUBARU BOXER® engine outpaces the demands of tomorrow while
retaining all their time-proven benefits, from smooth power to more
balanced handling. A revolutionary long-stroke design revs eagerly while
delivering more efficient combustion. Air, fuel and temperature are precisely
controlled to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Coupled with the
AWD, the Forester offers you sharper handling, better fuel efficiency and a
no-compromise approach to safety and comfort.
INCREASED STABILITY
Because the engine block has a flatter profile and sits lower in the chassis, the
overall vehicle is more stably balanced and resistant to side-to-side motion
than other designs.
SMOOTH POWER
At any rpm the engine delivers immediate, responsive power that comes on
smooth. The pistons lay flat and work against each other to reduce vibrations,
making the ride as comfortable as it is exciting.
LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE
The engine’s flat design is inherently rigid and well balanced, generating
less vibration than “V-type” or “in-line” engines for more durability and more
reliable performance.
