Subaru’s entry into the diesel market was marked at the 78th Geneva International Motor Show with the introduction of a 2.0-litre turbo diesel boxer engine. The engine, the world’s first production diesel boxer, is aimed squarely at the Euro market and will launch there first before elsewhere.

Applied directly to the Legacy / Outback range, the horizontally-opposed turbo diesel mates with Subaru’s symmetrical AWD system, Worldcarfans reports.

Having first glanced at the power figure of 100kW at 3600rpm, Subaru had reached their goal this time around since similar-sized benchmark motors typically produce about 120kW. But the torque figure set things right, coming in at 350Nm from 1800rpm.
