SUBARU BOXER® ENGINE
Keep your profile low,
and your expectations high.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
The horizontally opposed design of the SUBARU BOXER® engine fires with a powerful punch-counterpunch action.
WHAT IT DOES:
Whether you’re inspired by intelligent efficiency, refined responsiveness or the thrill of power, your Legacy will consistently
respond with balanced, smooth performance.
INNOVATION IN MOTION
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. Subaru engineers
painstakingly reviewed the effectiveness of every valve, port and piston to create an engine that
is lighter and uses fuel more efficiently. Not only does this new engine achieve new heights of
efficiency, but it offers better low-end torque response—meaning you’ll feel immediate, satisfying
response every time the accelerator is pressed.
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 f lat design is inherently rigid and selfbalancing, generating less vibration than “V-type” or “in-line”
engines for more durability and more reliable performance.
