Rumorpile: End of the Line For Subaru's Six-Cylinder Engine?
William Maley posted an article in Subaru
Subaru might be the next automaker to follow the downsizing trend. Speaking with Australian outlet CarAdvice.com.au, Yoichi Hori, Subaru's deputy general manager engineering department mentioned the possibility of dropping their six-cylinder engine - used in the Legacy and Outback models - and replacing it with a turbocharged four-cylinder. “Our research said the six-cylinder model is decreasing in the world. So that’s why probably the future, many companies take the smaller displacement with a turbocharger, or diesel, or hybrid," said Hori. As for a possible engine size, Hori mentioned that a 2.0L would be just right. “In terms of the body size, a 2.0-litre with a turbocharger is enough, I think.” Source: CarAdvice.com.au -

William Maley Staff Writer - CheersandGears.com July 16, 2012 If you wanted something besides a V8 in Jaguar in the U.S., you would have to go Europe to go for a six-cylinder. This has caused sales of Jaguar vehicles to drop. "We have only V8s in a market that has moved to six-cylinder," said Andy Goss, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America. To stop the slide, Jaguar will introduce four and six-cylinder engines for the XF and XJ lines. The four-cylinder is the 240 HP 2.0L turbo-four from the Range Rover Evoque and will be placed into the XF. The six-cylinder will be a 3.0L supercharged V6 producing either 340 HP (XF) and 380 HP (XJ). Both the four and six will come with an eight-speed automatic. Goss says the V6 will be a game changer for Jaguar, since about 70% of the XF competitors come with a V6. The turbo-four and supercharged V6 come out later this year.
