The Fast Subaru XT Engine
March 19, 2013
The Subaru XT engine is 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol and is brand new, and makes its debut in the Forester. When the engine for Subaru XT engine goes for sale in the UK, it will be tuned to produce 237bhp, but other markets will also get a 276bhp version. It has direct injection and a twin-scroll turbo, it’s keen to rev, yet delivers its maximum torque at just 2,400rpm – it’s as good at cruising around as it is charging towards the horizon. Subaru is fast becoming a niche manufacturer in the UK. It’s already stopped producing the Impreza and WRX STi from the line-up here, and the Legacy could be axed at the end of this year, too. That leaves only three models – the XV, the Outback and this new Forester, which arrives in the UK in the spring.
