Discover something new. From the moment you press the accelerator on our self-charging Subaru Hybrids with e-Boxer technology, you know they’re something special. e–Boxer is Subaru’s hybrid power unit that combines an electric motor with two of Subaru’s core technologies: our Boxer engine and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD).

It takes ‘what makes a Subaru, a Subaru’ to the next level. The Subaru Hybrid models inherits the handling benefits that come with a low centre of gravity with the poise and efficiency of the proven Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system. The e-Boxer hybrid delivers excellent driving efficiency and responsive handling, with no sacrifice to safety. Its compact electric motor is placed near the vehicle’s centre of gravity, while the battery and other components are arranged above the rear axle. Subaru Hybrid e-Boxer - available now in Subaru Forester and Subaru Crosstrek models.

Effortless Efficiency

Effortless Efficiency

Subaru Hybrid e-Boxer has been engineered to drive our first hybrid models. Powered by e-Boxer the vehicles feature an electric motor and high voltage battery, combined with a Boxer petrol engine to deliver a totally fun driving experience.

What is e-Boxer?

What is e-Boxer?

Subaru Hybrid e-Boxer is a 'mild hybrid' system that uses electric power (from a compact lithium-ion battery and electric motor) to assist the regular internal combustion engine.

Loaded for fun

With the battery and other electrical components positioned under the cargo floor, Subaru Hybrid boasts a generous cargo space with the same convenient height for loading all your gear and then some.

Self-charging on the go

Self-charging on the go

When you decelerate or brake, energy from the vehicle’s movement is captured and used to recharge the battery. Delivering the efficiency of a hybrid, with no strings attached.

Drive Modes

Subaru Hybrid e-Boxer uses power from a compact battery and electric motor to assist the petrol engine – changing between Motor Assist, Engine only, and Electric Vehicle only driving to match the conditions.

Drive Modes
Motor Assist for swift acceleration

Motor Assist for swift acceleration

Whether under full acceleration or tackling a steep ascent, with Motor Assist both the petrol engine and electric motor work together providing instant, responsive power. Excess engine power also recharges the battery.

An electric start

An electric start

In certain conditions such as when gently pulling away or driving at low speeds, the battery-powered electric motor alone drives the car. The petrol engine remains off, using no fuel and achieving zero emissions.

Engine power to spare

Engine power to spare

When cruising, the petrol engine alone is the most suitable power source, delivering the dynamic performance you expect from a Subaru. The engine also powers the electric generator to recharge the electric motor’s battery.

Plug-free charging

Plug-free charging

Harnessing a process called regenerative braking, Subaru Hybrids are self-charging, so you never have to plug them in – ever! The system captures wasted brake energy as you drive and redirects that kinetic energy to recharge the electric motor’s battery.


Standard Features

The Subaru Hybrids aren’t just full of exciting new technology, they’re also fully equipped with all the Subaru features you know and love – as standard.

Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist technology uses stereo cameras to identify potentially dangerous situations and helps avoid accidents before they happen. If danger is detected, audible and visual warnings urge you to take action and brake. If the driver does not take action, the vehicle may apply active braking intervention to either avoid an accident or reduce the severity of the impact.
