Subaru Libero Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1984–1998) — First Generation
The first-generation Subaru Libero offers van practicality in a compact body. When choosing a version, consider your usual routes and how often you’ll carry passengers or luggage, as both affect what you need from its powertrain.
The 1.2 MT is one example of the Subaru Libero’s powertrain options, combining a gasoline engine, manual transmission and all-wheel drive. You select the gears yourself, with downshifts helping on hills or under heavier loads. All-wheel drive can improve traction on slippery surfaces, but doesn’t shorten braking distances.
