The world's first horizontally-opposed turbo diesel engine for a passenger car has won widespread praise for its refinement, smoothness, sharp throttle-response and outstanding fuel economy. It first appeared in the Legacy and Outback earlier this year.
Both the Forester and Impreza Turbo Diesels feature new six-speed manual gearboxes while the engine itself benefits from a new closed-type diesel particulate filter.
Such is the efficiency of the new engine that the Forester 2.0TD boasts class-leading fuel economy and emissions with urban figures of 6.9 L/100km and producing a combined CO2 figure of 170 G/km respectively.
The Forester produces 147 PS and 258 lb ft torque and the Impreza 150 PS and 258 lb ft - both at 3,600 rpm and 1,800 rpm respectively.
The engine's benefits include exceptional compactness, light weight and a low centre-of-gravity which benefits handling agility and makes best use of the standard all-wheel drive system.
The new Forester Turbo Diesel goes on sale in Ireland in early October and the Impreza Turbo Diesel in early 2009, more details on the Impreza will be released nearer the launch date.
