2019 Subaru FORESTER e-Boxer - Geneva Motor Show * A&T Design

Subaru took a long time to integrate electrification into their powertrains. Symmetrical AWD does come standard, and because most drivetrain components are placed near the vehicle’s center of gravity, handling promises to be alright. In Europe, the e-Boxer lineup will consist of the models Subaru brought to the Geneva Motor Show.
The Forester rely on the DOHC boxer with a displacement of 1,995 cubic centimeters. On its own, the engine develops 150 PS at 5,600 rpm and 194 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The 2.0-i-S ES makes use of the Lineartronic continuously variable transmission.
The electric motor? That’s good for 16.7 PS (12.3 kW) while the battery features a maximum output of 13.5 kW from 118 volts. In addition to all-electric mode, Motor Assist driving automatically matches the driving situation and driver input for the most economy possible.
X-Mode adds to the rough-road capabilities of the e-Boxer drivetrain, enabling torque control. And yes, the Forester come with X-Mode. Going on sale this fall, the European models are complemented by the Crosstrek Hybrid in the United States. The crossover is actually a PHEV with components from the Toyota Prius Prime.
Given that these models are built on the Subaru Global Platform, it’s likely the Legacy and Ascent will follow suit at some point in the future.
