Keep your profile low and your expectations high. Look inside the heart of Subaru Symmetrical Full-time AWD and you’ll find the engine’s crankshaft, transmission, driveshaft and rear differential — running in a continuous line along the centre of the vehicle. And, with its longitudinal alignment and horizontally opposed pistons, the SUBARU BOXER® engine is the perfect companion to the Symmetrical AWD to deliver a drive that’s both exhilarating and responsive. SUBARU BOXER® ENGINE The horizontally opposed design of the SUBARU BOXER® engine lays the cylinders 180 degrees apart on each side of the crankshaft, for superb rotational balance and reduced vibration. Its compact layout can help lower the centre of gravity of the entire vehicle, enhancing both stability and driving excitement.
