Why
is the Subaru engine called 'Boxer'?
Subaru Boxer engines have earned the name from the pistons, which
mimic the horizontal movement of a boxer's fists.
Why are the cylinders arranged in a horizontal layout?
The primary benefit for the horizontal configuration of the cylinders
is safety. This is seen in enhanced handling and stability.
With this horizonal layout, your Subaru Boxer engine sits lower for
gravitational advantage across the entire frame.
Can the Subaru Boxer save my life?

Due to the lower height of the Subaru Boxer engine, any serious
front-end impact will drive the engine under the floor of the cabin. The
passenger compartment will not be penetrated, as may happen with an engine
resting higher under the hood.
