Subaru S:HEV hybrid powertrain implementation

Overview

Subaru has introduced the S:HEV strong hybrid powertrain in Japan, a 2.5L system developed with technical assistance from Toyota. This series-parallel system is being integrated into models such as the Forester C-type and the Levorg Layback to improve fuel efficiency and low-speed torque.

The Levorg Layback S:HEV reportedly achieves a fuel consumption of 19.0 km/L. Following these developments, industry expectations suggest that the next generation of the Subaru Levorg sports wagon may undergo a full model change in the latter half of 2027, potentially featuring a significant powertrain overhaul centered on the S:HEV system.
