Subaru Boxer Diesel Unveiled For Forester, Impreza And Legacy In Paris
Subaru has finally pulled the trigger on its EE20 Boxer Diesel in a big way here at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. They've seen fit to lay down a copious supply of cross sectioned and exploded-view engines for a sufficient supply of engine porn and have thrown them into some cars to boot, namely the Subaru Forester 2.0D, the Subaru Impreza 2.0D, and the Subaru Legacy 2.0D. As you might have guessed, they're all outfitted with the same 2.0 liter horizontally opposed boxer diesel, a common rail, turbocharged oil burner good for 144 HP in the Forester and 147 HP in the Legacy and Impreza. All engines make 259 lb-ft of torque between 1800 and 2400 RPM while returning about 40 MPG on the European combined fuel cycle. Definitely some nice numbers, now if only we could get 'em in the States. Complete, and we do mean complete, details on the Boxer Diesel engine, galleries on the lineup and nearly-NSFW engine pics below.

Subaru Forester And Impreza Boxer Diesel Bringing 37 MPG To Paris Motor Show
The Subaru Forester Diesel and Impreza Diesel are coming to next month’s Paris Motor Show equipped with the new Subaru Boxer Turbo Diesel engine. The innovatively light and compact engine is capable of delivering 145 HP and a huge 258 lb-ft of torque while returning up to 37 MPG (combined) when paired with a 6-speed manual transmission in the Forester. Hmmm, a practical, capable crossover SUV that drives well and gets 37 MPG? Yes please. But will it come to the US? Maybe. Full details after the jump.
