Subaru’s engineering department has developed a 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel boxer engine, the world’s first.
The engine will be marketed only in Europe and there’s no plan yet for the engine to be released in the US. The turbo diesel boxer engine will make its way first to the Subaru Legacy.
Subaru will have to work out on the the powertrain to pass stricter European Union pollution controls since the engine produces 150 grams CO2/km.
Apart from that, Subaru has to impress their prospects who will be subject to higher pollution taxes.
The advantage of the horizontally opposed engine or boxer engine is the lower center of gravity for better weight distribution.
