Subaru Diesel Turbo Boxer EngineSubaru will reveal the next stage in its diesel boxer engine program when Forester and Impreza variants are unveiled at the Paris Motor Show on October 2nd.
 
Following the high-profile launch of the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Legacy and Outback 2.0D in Europe earlier this year, the latest variants will go on sale in Europe after northern Autumn.
 
The boxer diesel in Forester and Impreza features a closed-type diesel particulate filter (DPF) and is matched with a newly developed six-speed manual transmission, further improving fuel economy and emissions.
 
Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), the maker of Subaru vehicles, claims the Forester 2.0D model boasts the lowest CO2 emission levels (167 g/km) in the compact SUV category.
 
The boxer diesel is characterized by compact size and light weight, thanks to the high rigidity of the horizontally opposed design and use of an aluminum cylinder block.
 
The engine delivers excellent acceleration, enabling sporty driving while offering outstanding fuel consumption with low emissions.
 
Subaru Australia expects to launch the Outback 2.0D in the last quarter of next year.
