The Subaru XT, including the XT6 variant, represents a distinctive chapter in automotive design and engineering from the 1988 model year. This front-engine, all-wheel-drive coupe is characterized by its aerodynamic, space-age styling, a driver-focused cockpit, and unique features such as retractable headlights and an optional digital dashboard. Built with Subaru's renowned focus on engineering quality and reliability, the XT and XT6 were designed for enthusiasts seeking a capable and visually striking vehicle. The XT models were powered by either a 1.8L 4-cylinder boxer engine or, in the XT6, a more potent 2.7L 6-cylinder boxer engine, both paired with manual or automatic transmissions and Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system.
