From the company that sells a track-bred, 300-horsepower compact car, an air-gulping hood scoop added to a model can mean only one thing: turbo! Subaru force-feeds more excitement in the beach-bound Baja with a intercooled, turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer engine, producing 210 horsepower and reaching a 235 lb-ft torque peak. This engine should not only help drivers with their hyper-active lifestyle around town, but make the Baja more eager in the mountains. Other standard features to appeal to weekend warriors include all-wheel drive, four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock, four-beam halogen headlamps, foldable side mirrors, fog lamps with stone guards, full independent suspension, and 8.4 inches of clearance. Like all Bajas, this new model includes the clever Switchback door that allows large objects to extend into the folded rear seat area.
