In late May, Toyota held a joint conference with Subaru and Mazda about channeling efforts into a new family of cleaner combustion engines. Toyota is developing more compact four-cylinder powertrains, Subaru is tweaking the boxer while Mazda is pursuing the range-extending rotary engine. A new and rather unexpected video highlights the increasingly stronger connection among two of these Japanese brands.
Published by the official Toyota Times magazine, the three-hour video is all about the exhaust note of a Subaru engine. Specifically, it’s a turbocharged 1.8-liter boxer that goes into the Levorg Layback. What’s that you ask? It’s essentially a jacked-up version of the Levorg. If that name doesn’t ring a bell either, it’s an Impreza wagon sold in certain markets.
