Lineartronic CVT
It stands for Continuously Variable Transmission, and this
innovative technology has been engineered to work seamlessly with the
SUBARU BOXER
engine and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to help reduce fuel consumption.
The stepless gear ratio allows the engine to run within its optimal
power range for
improved fuel economy, while its lightweight, compact design helps the
vehicle stay as agile as it can be.
In Automatic Mode, it adjusts instantly to match your acceleration,
eliminating the need to shift and preserving the vehicle's momentum
often lost with conventional
automatic transmissions. In 6-Speed Manual Mode, paddle shifters are
mounted for fingertip control, giving you the power to select the gear
ratio that best suits your
driving situation. The result is a sharper and sportier driving
experience.
SUBARU BOXER Engine
Drawn from a century of intelligent performance, the horizontal layout of the SUBARU BOXER engine combines balance with power and efficiency. And every Subaru comes with a SUBARU BOXER engine.
Like the jabs of a boxer, where the engine got its name, the SUBARU BOXER
layout allows the engine to be positioned in-line with the drivetrain
for maximum transfer of power. Many other engines are transverse, or
turned perpendicular, and can require additional drivetrain components
to transfer power, reducing vehicle efficiency.
The
punch-counterpunch movements of the boxer's pistons cancel out each
other for a smoother running engine without having to use additional
components to counteract them as in many in-line and V-type engines.
