THE GLOBAL CAR CATALOG

Subaru B4 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1998–2003) — Third Generation

The third-generation Subaru B4 is offered as a Sedan and an Estate 5-door. You get a practical, all-weather family car rather than a flashy luxury flagship.

← All Subaru models

Subaru B4 Engines and Transmissions

The Subaru B4 engine you will see in selected 3.0 AT cars is a 3.0 gasoline unit with an automatic transmission. That powertrain is offered in both the Sedan and the Estate 5-door, with all-wheel drive as the drivetrain. Treat these as examples of the generation, not the complete lineup.
