How much horsepower does a 2006 Subaru Baja have?

The 2006 Subaru Baja, a unique crossover vehicle that blended elements of a sedan, wagon, and pickup truck, was powered by a 2.5-liter flat-four "boxer" engine that produced 165 horsepower.


Engine Specifications


The 2006 Subaru Baja was equipped with a 2.5-liter horizontally-opposed four-cylinder "boxer" engine. This engine design, where the pistons move in opposing directions, is a signature feature of Subaru vehicles. The 2.5-liter boxer engine in the 2006 Baja produced 165 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 166 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm.


Transmission Options


The 2006 Subaru Baja was available with two transmission choices:


  • 5-speed manual transmission

  • 4-speed automatic transmission


Both transmission options sent power to Subaru's standard all-wheel-drive system.


The combination of the 165-horsepower boxer engine and Subaru's capable all-wheel-drive system gave the 2006 Baja a unique blend of power, utility, and off-road capability for a crossover vehicle of its time.
