    SUBARU BOXER Engine

    Few other SUVs drive with the level of confidence and responsiveness of the Forester, and the main reason for this lies beneath the surface—the SUBARU BOXER engine. Its horizontally opposed configuration places the pistons 180 degrees apart, for a lower, flatter profile than other engine types. This gives the engine, and therefore the overall vehicle, a lower centre of gravity and better sense of balance. Further, the pistons’ opposing movements inherently counteract each other, naturally helping to reduce vibration.

    SUBARU BOXER ENGINE

    Why SUBARU BOXER Engine?

    The boxer engine derives its name from the horizontal movement of its pistons, which resembles the quick, jab-like motions of a boxer's fists. Although not a global standard, Subaru remains solely committed to the SUBARU BOXER engine because it embodies the Subaru promise of delivering enjoyment and peace of mind to all passengers. It also represents our steadfast commitment to technological innovation and engineering excellence.

    What makes it unique?

    Unlike traditional “in-line” or “V-type” engine configurations, the pistons’ opposing movements inherently counteract each other, naturally helping to reduce vibration without the need for counter-balancers, which add weight and complexity.

    Subaru Global Platform

    In adopting the SGP, the suspension system on the redesigned chassis was improved for better steering responsiveness, straight-line stability, and overall ride comfort. The result is an SUV that needs fewer steering corrections, has minimum body roll, and less unwanted cabin noise and vibrations, making even long drives more comfortable.
