Why Subaru
Subaru Performance in Atlanta, GA
The SUBARU BOXER engine, balanced vehicle layout, and responsive drivetrain technology work together to create a connected feel for Atlanta commutes, winding roads, and weekend drives.
The SUBARU BOXER Engine
The SUBARU BOXER engine places its pistons horizontally opposite each other. That flat layout helps keep the engine's weight lower in the vehicle, supporting a lower center of gravity and balanced handling.
The opposed-piston design also helps naturally balance engine movement for a smooth, responsive feel.
Power You Can Put to Work
Subaru performance is about more than horsepower. On many models, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive helps put power to the road, while available SI-DRIVE can adjust throttle and transmission response to match different driving situations.
On vehicles equipped with a Lineartronic CVT, the transmission continuously adjusts its ratio to balance smooth response, performance, and efficiency.
SI-DRIVE
Available drive modes can change throttle and transmission response to suit the drive.
Lineartronic CVT
Continuously variable ratios help keep the engine in an effective operating range as conditions change.
Powertrain and drive-mode availability varies by model, trim, powertrain, and model year.
