SUBARU BOXER® ENGINE
Keep your profile low,
and your expectations high.
SUBARU BOXER® ENGINE
WHAT’S INSIDE:
The new 2.5 L SUBARU BOXER® engine combines trademark horizontally
opposed design with all-new technological refinement.
WHAT IT DOES:
Its naturally balanced smoothness and low-profile handling advantages are
matched by even greater economy and response.
REDESIGNED 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. 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.
2.5-LITRE DOHC
SUBARU BOXER
®
MAX OUTPUT: 173 hp @ 5,600 rpm
MAX TORQUE: 174 lb-ft @ 4,100 rpm
FUEL ECONOMY: (Lineartronic®) 6.5 L/100 km hwy
(6MT) 7.0 L/100 km hwy
Paired with the Lineartronic® CVT, this SUBARU BOXER® engine is
efficient and clean. Not only is this engine a new step forward for
Subaru environmental responsibility, it’s also an equally impressive
performer. With the natural balance and smoothness inherent
in its SUBARU BOXER® configuration, and DOHC and 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.

MAX OUTPUT: 256 hp @ 6,000 rpm
MAX TORQUE: 247 lb-ft @ 4,400 rpm
FUEL ECONOMY: 8.2 L/100 km hwy
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 self-balancing, generating
less vibration than “V-type” or “in-line” engines for more durability and more
reliable performance.

Refined vigor is the signature of this smooth powerplant. Double
overhead camshafts (DOHC) and the dual Active Valve Control
System (AVCS) enhance performance and reduce CO2 emissions,
while it s horizontally opposed layout naturally cancels out
vibration. From its free-breathing intake to its free-flowing exhaust,
the 3.6-litre DOHC SUBARU BOXER® makes driving seem all the
more effortless and exhilarating with low-end torque response.
