Subaru XV will be equipped with an atmospheric engine 2.5

In an interview with Automotive News, Tom Doll did not disclose the characteristics of the 2.5-liter engine, but most likely, Crosstrek will receive the same 185-horsepower (239 Nm of torque) atmospheric engine that is used on Forester, Legacy and Outback. The increase in performance compared to the current boxer 2.0-liter “four” will be 29 horsepower and 42 Nm of torque.

In the North American market, a compact Subaru crossover with a 2.5 engine will appear on the Crosstrek 2021 model year, so more powerful off-road vehicles can be ordered starting in the second half of the year. It is known that the 2.5-liter engine will be the prerogative of the top versions: it is expected that the power unit will be available only in combination with a V-belt variator and all-wheel drive with the X-Mode function.
