Subaru's Boxer Engine Exceeds Industry Standards
At a time when motor vehicle engines are all the rage, the development of Subaru's new 2.0L FA boxer engine is the new gold standard after earning high praise during the Wards Auto 10 best engine competition. In fact, the boxer engine is now part of Subaru's line of all-wheel-drive vehicles using engines with horizontal layouts. The boxer engine design is all about creating a low center of gravity and dynamic balancing for top models being sold at Patrick Subaru.

Top Subaru Motor Performance
Another aspect of Subaru's boxer engine being a real crowd pleaser is linked to unrivaled motor performance. For instance, the manufacturer states on the Subaru website that the boxer engine relies on a high pressure injection system that achieves "optimum combustion," and great output and efficiency. In fact, the new engine features a revolutionary system that Subaru officials say "directly sprays fuel into the engines combustion chambers." This new engine system also provides a "cooling effect" that helps produce the boxer engine's high 12.5:1 compression ratio for top driving performance in a wide range of road situations.

Boxer Engine Tops Competition
While Subaru's boxer engine design has been credited with being more innovative and energy efficient than the competition, it is Subaru drivers who say this new 2.5L turbocharged 4 cylinder has every right to be dubbed as one of Ward's 10 best engines. In turn, the engine drives all Subaru models with easy and "well-refined beauty," stated a motor fan commenting online.

The engine is also credited with a long list of other new innovations that include:

- Record setting fuel economy for light weight vehicles.

- The new boxer engine uses a "square" design that means its stroke and bore dimensions are the same; while this is credited for giving the motor a true "quick-revving personality."

- The engine features "dual-variable valve timing," which Subaru dubs as its "Dual Active Valve Control System."

- The engine boasts an upwards of 30 mpg in city and highway driving with its manual transmission model; while automatic transmission delivers upwards of 34 mpg.

- This sports car engine can also achieve high performance and power targets without sacrificing overall fuel efficiency.

- The engine allows for enough air to enter smoothly, while the engine's exhaust system also move the air out of the vehicle effectively and efficiently.

- The new boxer engine is made from high-tech materials making it both lightweight and built strong.
In general, the new Subaru boxer engine is an engineering marvel that has taken the motor world by storm. The engine has also generated high praise for this powerful turbocharged engine that is a true award winning design, say motoring experts.

Subaru's high-tech engine
Overall, Subaru is justifiably proud of its new high-technology "boxer engine." The new motor is credited with being lightweight, high revving and energy efficient. The result is a lot of pleased Subaru customers who cannot wait to take this motor out for a test drive, and then make it their own.
