Lineartronic adjusts to any ratio in its range for smooth and stepless gear changes that keep the engine in its most efficient range for efficient and smooth acceleration, driving performance and better fuel efficiency. It comes paired with Subaru’s active torque split AWD system. Its default torque is well-balanced front to rear and adjusts in response to real-time traction conditions.

A boxer engine, or a horizontally opposed engine, is an engine configuration in which its pistons move toward each other in a horizontal direction. Subaru has been solely committed to the SUBARU BOXER engine for over 50 years for its many advantages over other engine types, providing durability and reliable performance in its vehicles.

Increased Stability

The low centre of gravity and flat design give it better side-to-side stability than other engine types.

Naturally Balanced

The engine’s flat design is inherently rigid and self-balancing, generating less vibration than other engine types.

Full Inner Frame Structure

A full inner frame construction and wider structural adhesive use help reduce sudden body movements while driving. A unified feel of steering and vehicle movement provide better driving dynamics and stability on any road.
