Turbocharged Legacies and Outbacks will act as the higher-output options, replacing the Legacy 3.6R and Outback 3.6R options. With the 3.6 Boxer 6 using Port Injection and no signs of any advancement with the H6 platform (we would've seen it already in the upcoming 2019 Ascent), this where the H6 will leave us. The plan also outlines that every Subaru will have Direct Injection in their Boxer Engines. Further on down the line, the 2019 Forester, 2020 Legacy/Outback, and 2020 WRX/STI will all eventually share the same modular platform design. This is the same platform that the 2017 Impreza, 2018 Crosstrek, and 2019 Ascent will share. With the clock ticking down on these plans, 2020 will mark a point for the company when the Subaru Global Platform will be at the core of every vehicle built. Every new design, advancement, and goal of the company in terms of growth and development have been checking boxes for the Prominence 2020 Plan. The "Subaru Prominence 2020" plan has been in full swing for several years and it has outlined their progress as each year passes. ![]() But this isn't the only telltale sign of the H6's departure. ![]() Subaru, and many other manufacturers, have been managing to make more power with fewer cylinders for awhile now. At 256 Horsepower, Subaru's H6 will fall short of the 260 estimated Horsepower of the new Turbo 2.4. Powered by an all-new Direct-Injected Turbocharged 2.4 liter Boxer 4-Cylinder, the Ascent will still be capable of besting the 3.6 Boxer 6 in the power department. One would imagine that whatever powers the new leviathan of the 3rd-Row SUV segment would have to be just as big, but this is not the case. Oddly enough, the signs that Subaru's H6 would leave us were brought about by the debut of their largest vehicle to date: the 2019 Subaru Ascent.
