No, Subaru is known for literally two things: Their AWD system and their boxer engines.
Now you can obviously make a great AWD system with electric motors (a better one in fact), but it won’t have the beautiful boxer rumble.
And yes I know one of the reasons for using a boxer over an inline or V engine is the lower center of gravity which EVs are even better at, but again, they will lose their soul along with the boxer engine. Once they go EV, they have no real advantage over any of the other Japanese brands.
God, I really wish Subaru would just make their own EVs in-house instead of slapping their logo on a bunch of Toyotas
Not just that, but a Toyota that is the most “eh, good enough” EV there is.
Have a bz4x because we got a very, very good deal on it. Do not recommend unless you also get a very, very good deal. It’s aggressively OKish.
How they gonna put a boxer engine in an EV though?
They would lose that beautiful 60/40 weight distribution and their target audience would not allow that.
there are ev crate engines, is that close enough?
