SUBARU BOXER engines are fuelled by FIA WRC competition and honed to provide the best possible combination of smooth power delivery across the rev range, for drivability and poise under different road conditions. All engines, including the new 1.5-litre, are DOHC with Active Valve Control System, for instant response and flexibility, matched to the permanent availability of Symmetrical AWD. Whichever you choose, this is performance art with a high degree of emotion and the most advanced technologies, as practiced and proven on Subaru's WR Cars.

Horizontally-Opposed to traditional thinking.
SUBARU BOXER 2.5-litre DOHC turbo engine*
Well-proven technologies from the FIA WRC arena make this a superbly torquey powerplant for the WRX models. Turbo power is always available on tap for overtaking, yet this is also a smooth and tractable engine in city traffic. A secondary air system makes for good exhaust performance, too. So you can enjoy the performance to the full, while emissions are kept to a minimum.
*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
Naturally-aspirated, but with the inherent appeal of a DOHC engine, everything about this version is designed for exceptionally smooth revving. Its combination of Active Valve Control System and 4-2-1 equal-length, constant pulsation exhaust gives not only seamless linear acceleration, but also the sound of the SUBARU BOXER's rich engine note.
SUBARU BOXER 1.5-litre DOHC engine
This all-new development of Subaru engine technology is squarely aimed at balancing performance with environmental efficiency. It features exclusive refinements within the engine block itself, as well as the 4-1 constant pulsation exhaust system - tuned to deliver drivability at the same time as low emissions. The 1.5-litre gives a truly smooth SUBARU BOXER feel and familiar free-revving DOHC for a quicker response, confirming its Subaru lineage.
At one with the road, and your mindset
Free-revving and flexible, right across the rev range, the DOHC SUBARU BOXER Horizontally-Opposed Engines balance out noise and vibration, to give sweeter performance than In-line or V-type configurations. It means that the engine is ready to respond instantly to your every thought - with ample acceleration and a wide band of torque ready to explore, while you relish that unique boxer sound.
