1.6-litre and 2.0-litre engines are available for the European market. Both engines employ nearly the same devices except for the engine blocks, which helped to succeed in balancing fuel efficiency and output performance.
The SUBARU BOXER DIESEL, which was specially developed for the European market, received very favorable reviews. Its high rigidity, high-degree of smoothness, lightweight, compact design, excellent acceleration response with a high level of torque even at low speeds, lower CO2 emissions and better fuel efficiency are among the most frequently cited benefits. The all-new Subaru XV includes this Boxer Diesel in the line-up to meet the strong demand from customers concerned with environmental friendliness.
