Subaru Outback - The Original ‘CROSSOVER'

Subaru Outback

Brand

  • Subaru

The fourth-generation Subaru Outback crossover vehicle is now available in showrooms across Europe. This model is a pioneer in the Crossover concept, combining the comfort, interior space and superior on-road handling of a family estate, with the off-road capability and ground clearance of a sports utility vehicle. The new Outback is more capable, more engaging to drive both on and off-road, and offers increased space and comfort for all occupants. 

This model is longer, wider and taller than its predecessor. It features a new grille with Subaru's trademark wing motif and ultra-modern, three-dimensional headlamps that give it a refined yet purposeful look. The Outback's premium feel continues with muscular, flared wheel arches, standard-fit 17-inch alloys, and a chrome-framed glass-house. 

The interior design is sophisticated and spacious with increased seat adjustability, softer cushioning, and reductions in NVH levels. You can choose from three engines: a four-cylinder 2.0-litre diesel, a four-cylinder 2.5-litre petrol, and a six-cylinder 3.6-litre petrol engine. All of these powerplants use Subaru's preferred horizontally-opposed cylinder configuration, which delivers superior levels of refinement, and helps maintain a low centre of gravity. 

The Outback's handling and stability have been greatly improved with completely re-engineered suspension and a new all-steel unitary structure. Along with its highly acclaimed AWD system, it is sure-footed in all weather conditions. Boasting generous levels of standard equipment across the range, the entry-level 2.0-litre D SE model boasts leather upholstery, electric windows fore and aft, Bluetooth connectivity, six-CD stereo, dual-zone automatic air-conditioning, cruise control, and automatic activation for wipers and headlights.

The UK buyers can choose from five models, priced from £26,295 (OTR), which are available from local Subaru dealers. The all-new, fourth-generation Outback raises the bar yet again, in particular thanks to its peerless go-anywhere driveability and its spacious and luxuriously-appointed cabin.
