Subaru Hybrid
What is e-Boxer?
Subaru e-Boxer – a hybrid system that uses electric power (from a compact lithium-ion battery and electric motor) to assist the regular internal combustion engine.
1. In comparison to petrol-only variants. Real world results may vary based on individual driving circumstances e.g. traffic conditions, driving style, vehicle modifications, fuel quality, climatic conditions etc. Quoted figures may not reflect real world fuel consumption.
A perfect match
Subaru e-Boxer uses power from a compact battery and electric motor to assist the petrol engine change between three modes*; Engine only, Electric Vehicle only and Motor Assist driving – a perfect match for all conditions.
1. Drive mode dependant on specific driving conditions.
Confidence under all conditions
Superior balance equals superior vehicle control. That’s why our Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system and a symmetrical drivetrain work together to deliver a vice-like grip and an innate sense of balance from the ground up. Unlike some competitors, Subaru Hybrid vehicles always run in full All-Wheel Drive, even during electric-only driving.
We do more than just build great cars
At Subaru, we’ll never stop searching for new ways to help you make the most of every moment. From how you drive, to how you own, our breakthrough technology and innovations are changing everything.

Protecting you and your family
At Subaru protecting you and your family is at the heart of our design and engineering. The rigid chassis, passenger safety cell and boxer engine are engineered to withstand and protect. It’s why Subaru vehicles are known for their strength and resilience in collisions.
Subaru Global Platform and safety cell
The new Subaru Global Platform helps improves handling through refined chassis rigidity and a remarkably low centre of gravity.
It also protects you in a collision, with a ring-shaped passenger safety cell designed to absorb and direct the impact of the force around the cabin, rather than through it.
Our famous Boxer engine
High performing and horizontally-opposed, The Subaru Boxer engine is lower, smarter and safer than traditional engines. Sitting lower and flatter, the iconic Boxer gives you a low centre of gravity and better handling. Plus, if a severe frontal collision occurs, it will slide below the cabin – not through it.
SRS* airbags
You’ve got protection all around you in every new Subaru. Dual front, dual front side, dual curtain and driver’s knee SRS* airbags are designed to work as part of a total car safety package and tuned to the total performance of the body structure.
Avoiding and preventing accidents
Being alert to the unexpected, from changing road conditions to anticipating the unpredictability of other drivers, is more important than ever. When the unexpected does happen, Subaru vehicles include a range of cutting edge technologies to help avoid potential danger.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Outstanding grip, no matter the weather conditions. Every Subaru has an innate sense of balance from the ground up, thanks to a near perfect symmetrical layout. Better cornering and acceleration, greater control and confidence means a much safer drive.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive excludes Subaru BRZ.
Outstanding visibility
Every Subaru is designed for amazing visibility and minimal blind spots. Sit inside and enjoy more of the world around you.
Driver Monitoring System1

The individual preferences of up to five drivers can be stored, allowing the Multi-Function Display, instrument settings and climate control to be restored to the driver’s last setting. Furthermore, the driver’s seat and door mirror positions are moved to the driver’s personal settings on the 2.5i Premium AWD, 2.5i Sport AWD, 2.5i-S AWD and Hybrid S AWD variants.
