Subaru's trademark Horizontally-Opposed Engines are key factors in giving the Forester its sporty feel and crossover capabilities. They deliver high cruising speeds on the road, with a wide band of useable power across the rev range. While on rough terrain, there’s all the drivability you need. Both engines are DOHC, to match the flexible demands of an SUV. The 2.5-litre turbo and the 2.0-litre both share Symmetrical AWD and the boxer layout – uniquely reflecting the DNA of the rally cars.

SUBARU BOXER 2.5-litre DOHC turbo engine*
Built around the pedigree of the WR Car, its high-end power and low to mid-range torque are above its class, while a secondary air system reduces hydrocarbon emissions when the engine first starts. An Active Valve Control System helps to balance power output with fuel economy, so that you get the best of both worlds.
*This engine was voted Best 2-2.5-litre engine in the International Engine of the Year Awards 2006, presented by UKIP Media & Events Automotive Magazines.
SUBARU BOXER 2.0-litre DOHC engine
Free-revving, and delivering responsive agility, this engine has Subaru's Active Valve Control System to give the best balance of high-end power, low to mid-range torque and fuel consumption. Its equal length, constant pulsation exhaust system reduces back pressure, for more effective exhaust efficiency, while still giving that unmistakable boxer sound.
Savour the sensation
Enjoy every emotion of smooth, sensual power that these engines can provide. Explore the flexibility that only free-revving DOHC SUBARU BOXER designs can give you, from low to high rpm. Hear the sweet boxer sound that only a Horizontally-Opposed Engine layout can produce, with pistons counteracting each other to balance out noise and vibrations, working much more efficiently than in-line or V-type configurations.
