SUBARU BOXER® ENGINE
Few cars drive with the self-assured confidence of the Outback,
so you won’t be surprised by how uniquely it is accomplished.
The configuration of the SUBARU BOXER® engine gives it a lower,
flatter profile than other engine types. This gives the engine, and
therefore the overall vehicle, a lower centre of gravity and a better
sense of balance. Further, the pistons’ opposing movements
naturally help to reduce vibrations.
2.5-LITRE DOHC SUBARU BOXER® ENGINE
3.6-LITRE DOHC SUBARU BOXER® ENGINE
Already naturally smooth and strong, the Outback’s 2.5-litre
DOHC engine is powerful and fuel efficient. Its mid- to lowrange torque offers power when you need it from a complete
stop. You’ll also find that it’s responsive around town and
satisfying on the highway, thanks to a remarkable 174 lb-ft of
torque. When combined with the Lineartronic® CVT, it’s even
more fuel efficient and clean-running, making it kinder to your
wallet and the environment.

Not only is it the largest, most refined SUBARU BOXER®
engine available, but the 3.6-litre engine also offers
smooth power delivery, a quiet ride, low emissions and
commendable fuel economy. Light, compact and perfectly
balanced by design, it features the Dual Active Valve Control
System for impressive torque when you need to pass another
car or start from a stop at a red light or stop sign. And to
help ensure your Outback gets optimal fuel economy at
every speed, the 3.6-litre engine has been paired with the
smooth and efficient high torque Lineartronic® CVT.
