Subaru’s new 2.0 liter boxer turbodiesel engine has been slotted into the Impreza hatchback and the Forester SUV. Both cars will be displayed at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, with the engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The turbodiesel engine is tuned to produce 147 PS in the Forester and 150 PS in the Impreza, both at 3,600rpm. Peak torque for both states of tune is rated at 350Nm at a low 1,800rpm. This should allow Subaru to make headway in the European markets as they’re all diesel-crazy over there.

Upgrade our diesel to Euro 4 and bring in the diesel cars…superior diesel engine is far better than any hybrid technology

This subaru new diesel engine got a lot of great reviews… I want the new subaru forester with this engine.
From what i found out that this engine is quite! but the problem now for subaru is the manual gear ratio.
Anyway for those ppl who think hybrid is better, think again.. The autocar asean did a test in Singapore, and found out that VW bluemotion diesel is more better then civic hybrid!

I won’t leave hybrid out of picture as they are very efficient compared with petrol. the best solution is to have a hybrid diesel, but that costs too much to make.
I have not seen the autocar review but if it is distance per dollar, the diesel will win hands down as diesel is cheaper in Asia. However, if you compare the CO2 emissions then diesel can be higher. This is because diesel has more carbon molecules than petrol.
I love diesel engines, always torquey and cheap on fuel. Never driven a hybrid before as I am not that green.

2.0 turbo diesel seems flat 4 may intersting but fringed from as tested the subaru 2.5 sti flat 4 n evoX 2.0. Diesel in malaysia may still not achieve the required standard for it. for trucks n lorry it may be but for for TDi VW buemotions or other performance turbo diesel.
Any comment from malaysian diesel chemist?

September 9, 2008 @ 10:36 am

September 9, 2008 @ 12:34 pm
jamsbong, sorry to have to point this out to you, but the current crop of eco diesels sold in europe are also greener than the best hybrid on the market today, which is the toyota prius, with lower CO2 levels.

finally, a diesel subaru, now a diesel sti?
