As the automotive industry turns towards a greener future, hybrid technology is paving the way for a union of fuel efficiency and responsible driving.
At Perth City Subaru, we’ve always been at the forefront of engineering reliable, safe, and innovative vehicles. Embracing the call for sustainability, we’re proud to introduce our e-Boxer technology. The e-Boxer is a hybrid propulsion system from Subaru, which combines an electric motor with the Boxer engine and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) technology to deliver a dynamic and sustainable driving experience. This initiative is a testament to our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship, offering both our loyal Subaru family and eco-conscious drivers a refreshing, green driving experience. With the e-Boxer, we carry forward our tradition of delivering trustworthy and adventurous vehicles, now with a touch of electrification, heralding a new chapter in our enduring automotive saga.
Subaru’s Legacy and Transition to Hybrid Technology
Subaru’s tradition of crafting reliable and durable vehicles takes a green turn with our embrace of hybrid technology. The e-Boxer technology, a fusion of our iconic Boxer engine with an electric motor, marks this transition. It now powers models such as:
- Subaru Crosstrek AWD Hybrid L
- Subaru Crosstrek AWD Hybrid S
- Subaru Forester Hybrid L AWD
- Subaru Forester Hybrid S AWD
This embodies our commitment to eco-friendly driving without compromising performance. Through the e-Boxer, Subaru melds its enduring legacy with modern sustainability, meeting the evolving demands of today’s drivers.

Understanding the e-Boxer Technology
The term ‘e-Boxer’ embodies Subaru’s innovative leap into hybrid technology. It represents a blend of our time-tested Subaru Boxer engine with a contemporary electric motor. The ‘e’ denotes electric, while ‘Boxer’ pertains to our signature horizontally opposed engine, known for its low centre of gravity and balanced design which contributes to the vehicle’s stability and handling.
At the core of the e-Boxer technology is the synergy between the petrol-powered Boxer engine and the electric motor. The Boxer engine provides reliable power for high-speed driving and charges the electric battery during operation, while the electric motor offers instant torque, and smooth acceleration, and operates during low-speed conditions for enhanced fuel efficiency.
The seamless interaction between these two systems is orchestrated by an intelligent controller that decides when to use electric power, gasoline power, or a combination of both. This optimises fuel efficiency and reduces emissions, especially in city driving where stop-and-go is frequent. The electric motor assists the gasoline engine during acceleration, making the drive smoother and more responsive, while regenerative braking helps recharge the battery, further enhancing the efficiency.
The e-Boxer technology not only significantly improves fuel economy but also reduces the carbon footprint, making Subaru’s venture into hybrid technology a win both for the driver and the environment.
