Subaru e-Boxer – a hybrid system that uses electric power (from a compact lithium-ion battery and electric motor) to assist the regular internal combustion engine. To maximise the vehicle’s hybrid capabilities, Motor Assist technology is used to deliver improved acceleration especially during light-load driving and starting from a stop, where the electric motor excels. This provides a stronger and steady performance, while delivering the benefits of improved fuel economy and reduced vehicle emissions*.
