Have you ever wondered what aspect of a Subaru keeps it lasting so long? When up to 96% of Subaru models built in the last 10 years are still on the road, it’s a question that can come up a lot. The secret lies with the Subaru Boxer engine, a horizontally opposed powertrain that moves its pistons in a similar manner to two boxers punching. By choosing this design, rather than a V-shaped powertrain like more mainstream models, Subaru is able to optimize fuel efficiency while creating a balance between power and handling.
Despite coming with all-wheel drive as standard across nearly the entirety of the Subaru model lineup, the Boxer engine helps to make them all among the most efficient vehicles available. The flat design also brings the powertrain lower to the ground that other models, allowing for greater handling during tight turns and a greater sense of security while you're navigating through the greater Spokane, WA area.
