Subaru's love of the boxer engine is one that has spanned over 49 years. The Japanese automaker has become closely linked to the uniquely designed engine and currently uses it in each one of its passenger cars on the market today. As of recently, Subaru reached a milestone with the boxer engine, with their parent company Fuji Heavy Industries producing the 15-millionth one to date. The monumental moment is one the brand is incredibly proud of and they plan to build upon this achievement in the future.
Developed in 1966, the very first Subaru horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine made its big debut on the 1000 compact sedan. Since that day, the boxer engine has been used Subaru models across the globe, and today, the FB25 2.5L four-cylinder is being utilized on the 2015 Subaru Legacy and 2015 Outback. One of the reasons why the boxer engine has been such a hit with the automaker is its ability to improve handling. Additionally, the engine operates smoothly and delivers little vibration, which enhances the car's performance.
Boxer engine-equipped Subaru models are available now at Reliable Subaru. Stop by the dealership to view each of them in person and take one for a test drive.
