Subaru Boxer Diesel - First Four-Cylinder Horizontally-Opposed Diesel Engine

摘要

The integration of the horizontally-opposed engine and the functional principle self-ignition is a technical challenge. With the series production of the first boxer diesel engine for passenger cars Subaru has achieved a technological breakthrough. While producing maximum power of 110 kW and maximum torque of 350 Nm, the carbon dioxide (CO{sub}2) figure of the 2,0 I four-cylinder diesel engine is 148 g/km. Low noise, low vibration and compactness are among its features.
