Inside every Subaru—
the power to inspire.
SUBARU BOXER® ENGINE
Few other cars drive with the fun and eagerness of the Impreza, so you
won’t be surprised by how uniquely it is accomplished. The horizontally
opposed configuration of the SUBARU BOXER® engine places the pistons
180 degrees apart, for a lower, flatter profile than other engine types.
This gives the engine, and therefore the overall vehicle, a lower centre of
gravity and a more balanced distribution of weight. Further, the pistons’
opposing movements inherently counteract each other, naturally helping
to reduce vibration.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
The SUBARU BOXER® engine combines trademark horizontally opposed
design with technological refinement.
WHAT IT DOES:
Its naturally balanced smoothness and low-profile handling advantages are
matched by even greater economy and response.
THIRD-GENERATION ENGINE
The SUBARU BOXER® engine has always offered exceptional balance and
smooth response, but we’ve figured out a way to make driving a Subaru even
more inspiring. To create the latest generation SUBARU BOXER®, engineers
painstakingly reviewed the effectiveness of every valve, port and piston,
resulting in an engine that is lighter and uses fuel more efficiently. Not only
does the engine achieve impressive efficiency, but it offers robust low-end
torque response—meaning you’ll feel immediate, satisfying response every
time the accelerator is pressed.
2.0 LITRE DOHC
SUBARU BOXER®
MAX OUTPUT: 148 hp @ 6200 rpm
MAX TORQUE: 145 lb-ft @ 4200 rpm
FUEL ECONOMY: (Lineartronic® CVT) 5.5 L/100 km hwy
(6MT) 5.9 L/100 km hwy
Paired with Lineartronic® CVT, this SUBARU BOXER® engine is efficient and clean.
Not only is this engine a standard for Subaru environmental responsibility, it’s also
an equally impressive performer. With the natural balance and smoothness inherent
in its SUBARU BOXER® configuration, and double-overhead camshafts (DOHC) with
Active Valve Control System (AVCS) to enhance its performance, it delivers eager
response at lower rpm. By combining response and exceptional efficiency, it’s an
engine that will give you more fun with less fuel.

HORIZONTALLY OPPOSED DESIGN
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.
