Subaru's boxer engine is more innovative than other engines that are on the market today. Overall, it is a much better engine than what its competitors are offering. Of course, this is thanks to the century of performance testing that it's gone through. This testing has taught Subaru how to combine balance, power and efficiency to create a superior engine.
There are two main reasons why Subaru's Boxer engine is so superior:
1. This engine is named after the jabs of a boxer because the vehicle's design allows for the engine to be positioned in line with the vehicle's drivetrain, which is what allows for maximum power to be transferred. While a lot of other engines are transverse (turned perpendicular) requiring additional drive train components and reducing the vehicle's efficiency, this isn't true of the boxer engine. Instead the punch counterpunch movements for the engine's pistons actually cancel one another out so that it runs smoother without needing any additional components to counteract the process.
2. Since the Subaru boxer engine's pistons move horizontally, they allow for a low, flat profile. In fact, this profile is almost perfectly symmetrical, which is why this vehicle is so well balanced -- The way in which it's designed with such a low profile actually allows for a low center of gravity that most vehicles don't have. This provides a quick handling response time while allowing the vehicle to remain flat and confident while maneuvering around corners.
Introducing the Full Line of Subaru Boxer Engines
Most people don't realize that there are a couple of different types of these engines on the market today. This is because there are also different styles of Subaru vehicles on the market today. As such, the engines have been tailored to meet these different vehicles' performance requirements, thus allowing them to meet your needs. Nevertheless, each of these engines is still built with the same simple design that helps to make them so efficient. These engines include:
1. The 2.0 liter and the 2.5 liter flat-4 produces 148 and 170 horsepower respectively. They're 4 cylinder engines that provide plenty of power and efficiency so that they work smoothly.
2. The 2.5 liter turbocharged flat-4 engine is available in a few different types of horsepower. There's the 227, 265 and 305 all of which are turbocharged with an intercooled 4 cylinders. This will provide you with a lot of great power and thus enables the vehicle to operate quite well.
3. The 3.6 liter flat 6 engine is actually the largest of Subaru's engines. With 6 cylinders it's able to provide you with 256 horsepower and 247 lb. ft. of torque for superior handling capacity.
