Subaru vehicles appeal to a wide range of drivers around Kelso and St Helens, and the Subaru Boxer engine is just one of the many reasons to put a new Subaru vehicle at the top of your list? What sets the Subaru Boxer engine apart from anything else on the market? Bud Clary Subaru explores this iconic powertrain option more in-depth below.
The Subaru Boxer engine is not one particular engine – it is a type, or classification, of engine. There are multiple Boxer engines within the new Subaru lineup, and you can choose from four-cylinder models and turbocharged options. There have even been six-cylinder Boxer engines. Here’s what makes the Subaru Boxer engine unique:
The Subaru Boxer engine is horizontally-transposed, so when the pistons in a Boxer engine fire, they move toward and away from each other concurrently in a horizontal motion. This motion is reminiscent of a boxer gearing up in the ring for a fight, which is how it earned the name.
The Subaru Boxer engine is used throughout the entire lineup, so no matter which vehicle you select, you will be able to enjoy this iconic powertrain on the roads of St Helens and Woodland.
Note: The all-electric Subaru Solterra does not feature the Subaru Boxer engine. It is outfitted with the StarDrive all-electric drivetrain.
If you are ready to enjoy the benefits of the Subaru Boxer engine, we invite you to Bud Clary Subaru to get behind the wheel for a test drive. Hit the roads of Longview in an adventure-ready new Subaru today. Continue your research or stop by to take your favorites for a spin!
