GREATER STABILITY The SUBARU BOXER engine’s lightweight, compact design lowers
the vehicle center of gravity. Providing more stable handling characteristics to better
keep the car along its intended path, especially when changing direction quickly.
LESS VIBRATION The 180-degree boxer engine layout allows the pistons to move in
exact horizontal opposition, effectively negating the vibrations of the opposing pistons.
Its smoothness not only sweetens power delivery, it helps increase longevity.
Subaru Boxer Engine It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

innovation. At the heart of the Forester is our legendary SUBARU BOXER engine,
with pistons laid fl at in horizontal opposition. Used in every Subaru, this design
lowers the center of gravity, promoting precise handling and enhanced stability,
while increasing durability and reducing vibration. It’s the force that gives you
greater control, and greater safety.
