SUBARU BOXER ENGINE
Every engine generates power. But the unique SUBARU BOXER engine gives you so
much more. The flat, horizontally opposed configuration empowers the Outback
with a lower center of gravity, delivering precise handling and enhanced stability.
The result is a car that goes where you want it to, especially when changing directions
quickly, impressing driving enthusiasts and safety experts alike. And its layout ensures
smooth, plentiful power, matched with the efficiency and durability you need for
everyday driving. Performance. Safety. Reliability. Much like the jabbing motion of
a boxer’s arms that it’s named after, it packs quite a punch.

SMOOTHER OPERATION
The 180-degree boxer engine layout allows the pistons
to move in exact horizontal opposition, effectively
negating vibrations. Its smoothness not only sweetens
power delivery, it also helps increase longevity.
GREATER CONTROL
Compared to other types of engines, the lower
profile of the SUBARU BOXER engine helps the
Outback lean less around curves and while maneuvering,
giving you greater control overall.
