What Is The Subaru Boxer Engine? Mike Shaw Subaru Near Denver, CO Explains

Most vehicles on the road today rely on one of two engine types: the Inline Engine or the V Engine. The Inline Engine arranges the cylinders in a straight vertical line while the V Engine tilts the cylinders in a V arrangement with two equal banks. Subaru has discovered a better way with the Boxer engine (sometimes referred to as a flat engine)--and every Subaru here at Mike Shaw Subaru in Thornton, CO is equipped with a Boxer engine. This brilliant engine design arranges the cylinders so that they are horizontally opposed. This provides a host of advantages over traditional engine designs. The horizontally opposed cylinders are able to naturally cancel out noise, vibration, and harshness where other engines must rely on additional dampers and counter weights, which adds to the complexity of these designs. The greater the complexity, the greater the chance of failure. Perhaps the most noticeable advantage of the Subaru Boxer engine is that the flat design provides a much lower center of gravity for enhanced handling, safety, and all-around enjoyment. This way Subaru models can have some of the best ground clearance in the industry and still handle with the ease and comfort of a car on twisty mountain roads. Take the short trip from Westminster, CO and take a Subaru boxer engine for a spin with us at Mike Shaw Subaru.
