About Subaru

Subaru is the car division of Subaru Corporation, formerly Fuji Heavy Industries. Its boxer engine arrived with the Subaru 1000 in 1965, and most Subarus over 1,500 cc have used the layout since.

Reading the engine descriptions

In these manuals, F4 and F6 mean flat (boxer) four- and six-cylinder engines, so "F4-2.0L DOHC Turbo" is a 2.0-litre turbocharged flat four.

Same car, different badge

  • The Saab 9-2X (2005–06) is a rebadged second-generation Impreza hatchback, built by Subaru.
  • B9 Tribeca was renamed Tribeca when it was revised for 2008, so check both.
