Subaru Boxer Engine

The pistons move in 180-degree opposition to each other on a horizontal plane, so each naturally cancels out the vibration of the piston opposite it.

Durable Construction

The engine's flat design is inherently rigid, and reduces the amount of vibration that "V" or inline engines with more upright pistons are subjected to during operation.

 Lower Center of Gravity

The flatter profile and perfectly symmetrical design of the engine block, and the fact that
it sits lower in the chassis, make the overall
vehicle more stably balanced and resistant
to side-to-side motion than other designs.

Smoother Operation

Step on the accelerator and the revs come on smooth. While there's plenty of power when you need it, it never compromises your comfort or control.

Increased Durability

An engine subjected to less vibration lasts
longer. It's no wonder 94% of Subaru vehicles
built in the last 10 years are still on the road
today.

Greater Agility

The vehicle responds more quickly to changes
in direction, which gives a feeling of tightness
in turns. And it's less likely to become un-
stable during maneuvers, giving you an
increased feeling of being in control at all times.
