Subaru did reveal some, but not all, of the specifics of the hybrid powertrain. Interestingly, unlike Toyota—with which Subaru shares some technology and builds cars with, and which owns 20 percent of the smaller automaker—the Subaru system will retain its H-4 engine configuration and a physical (i.e., driveshaft) connection to the rear axle instead of an e-AWD system. The engine will be larger than previous hybrid systems, using the 2.5-liter displacement version. The gasoline tank increases in size to 16.6 gallons for more all-up range. The gas engine is rated at 158 hp and 199 lb-ft.
