The same is true requires that power goes where it's needed, and not where it would be wasted. for 4-wheel vehicles. That’s why you’ll find the Subaru All-Wheel Driving Innovative transmission technologies make sure that Subaru All-Wheel Drive makes System on every Subaru: a horizontally opposed boxer engine, advanced Full- the most of its powerful engine. Our experience in rallying has led to a 5-speed manual Time All-Wheel Drive and a long travel, low-friction suspension design. Why? Baja is powered by a 2.5-liter, transmission that is easy to shift, yet extremely durable. To enhance the experience, 16-valve horizontally opposed boxer engine producing 165 horsepower Because this is simply the best way to give exceptional vehicle control for there’s the tactile pleasure of a leather-wrapped shifter handle and 166 lb.-ft. of low-end torque. The available automatic transmission has a gated shifter that allows outstanding response and safety. The horizontally opposed boxer engine has a lower center of on manual transmission models.
