SYMMETRY GIVES YOU BALANCE
BALANCE GIVES YOU CONTROL
The revolutionary
SUBARU BOXER DIESEL.
Subaru took the single-minded approach to revolutionise the art of diesel-powered motoring following over 40 years of Boxer engine expertise. Retaining all the major advantages of low vibration and high rigidity, this engine is now complemented by copious levels of torque and fuel efficiency. Indeed, the SUBARU BOXER DIESEL changes all preconceived ideas of a diesel-powered SUV.
Advantages of the SUBARU BOXER DIESEL.
|
Smooth and quiet
The unique layout of the pistons mean they move in opposite directions, which dramatically counteract vibrations and noise. Ideally balanced, the compact and the highly rigid aluminium block engine is lightweight, has low vibration levels and is fully capable of delivering the smoothness and class-leading quietness for which the SUBARU BOXER is famed.

 |
|
Ample torque and responsive acceleration.
The copious combustion efficiency comes via the high compression ratio to deliver a muscular 350 Nm (35.7 kgfm) of torque in the 1,800 – 2,400 rpm range. Therefore the Forester Diesel can tackle most driving situations with ease. In addition, excellent acceleration is maintained by the exhaust pressure, which, along with the variable nozzle turbocharger, is consistent at all speeds.

|
Fuel efficient
The SUBARU BOXER DIESEL comfortably meets Euro4 emission standards, thanks to the closed DPF (Diesel Par ticulate Filter), oxidation catalytic conver ter and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation). In addition, the common rail helps to produce a CO2 figure of just 170 g/km*, ensuring it is one of the most environmentally-friendly vehicles in its sector. The top of the class fuel economy of 6.4 lit./100* is achieved as the engine is compact and lightweight which reduces the car weight. Whilst the common rail system ensures that fuel is injected in response to the stepped pressure on the accelerator. In addition, the electric power steering helps to enhance overall fuel efficiency.

SYMMETRICAL AWD
This unique design positions the cylinders 180 degrees apart on both sides of the crankshaft, to form the Horizontally-Opposed SUBARU BOXER Engine. Major advantages of this perfectly symmetrical layout include superb rotational balance and a low centre of gravity. Powerful and stable at all speeds, Forester has a level of driving enjoyment that other SUV’s would find hard to match.
|
Keeping the gravity low.
The Forester Diesel possesses a much lower centre of gravity,
so there’s much less body roll and greater all-round stability.
|
 |
|
Reducing vibration.
Vibrations are reduced because the pistons in the horizontally-opposed layout counteract each other – unlike In-line or V-type engines – The result is a quiet, smooth optimum level of total driving comfort.
|
 |
|
Getting a grip.
By transmitting power through all four tyres, the Forester Diesel avoids understeer or oversteer and will perform more assuredly wherever you may venture.
