And for 2007, Subaru will built a 2l5 flat four diesel....


That sounds very interesting!
Any pointers /web links?
Indications of cooling (liquid/air) ?
Turbo? (I should think yes)


Voici ce que me revelait une petite recherche:

Subaru is working on a boxer diesel for the European market for 2007. The
engine reportedly will be offered in the Legacy, and probably will be
offered in the Forester too.
Rumors have it as a 2.2L engine, and most likely also turbocharged. I would
also expect to see Subaru using an ally block and head, like many modern car
diesels. My guess is that Subaru also has a larger version for the
Euro-Tribeca. if you add a pair of cylinders to the 2.2 H-4, you end up with
a 3.3 H-6, which would be perfect for the larger Tribeca.

Those who master the Teuton language may consult

which has even less factual info, and is almost 2 years old.


Also keep in mind that Honda has been putting out an all allunium about
that size in Europe for the last several years.
