To be clear, it will still have the Boxer engine. The current Crosstrek Plug-in runs the Atkinson cycle motor. Will it be the same engine? Or a newer version?

Hmmm, i wonder if it will use the planatary CVT hybrid setup?
If so that would be a huge improvement, no more belt style CVT. |

Hopefully this has a more powerful engine than the Crosstrek PHEV for around town (once the battery depletes). The engine sounds terrible and is anemic if you need any extra power. At highway speeds it is pretty good (very slow to change lanes, but it doesn't appear to be struggling while cruising).

Don't give me the Subaru is a small company BS. They used to be know for engineering. Just engineer the piss out of it, solve the problem and move on. Kicking the CVT and emissions problems down the road is not the answer. Disappointing to hear this. Peace, Greg |

I didn't even realize how I worded that. It sounds like I said that knowing some insider info. I apologize. I guess anything can happen; but, I seriously doubt in a core Subaru model, they will utilize anything other than a Boxer for the foreseeable future. Subaru being "small", I'll only say when it comes to bringing something to market. They are not bringing anything to market before anyone else because their "smallness" doesn't have the resources to take on the larger companies. Now, over the last several years, I learned a bit more where their "profits" go and wish it could be redirected to fix many of the issues they have. However, I also believe after learning where a lot of that money goes, that IF they were to do that, I think that would hurt them far worst than what they are dealing with now. Why do they have such an issue with the Boxer? With 50+ years experience with it? That, I'd surely like to know as well. They do seem very confident in the future though..... |

Subaru is limited with it's stroke and head size because of the frame rails. It is causing emission problems everywhere but here in the states. It is only a matter of time before we catch up. I hate to see them not addressing it head on. Peace, greg |

I wonder if the extra torque from the electric motors could allow for the engines to be downsized (reduced bore) and retain the same stroke? Thereby allowing it to run cleaner.
