Subaru Outback – Subaru has released the all new seventh generation Outback. This comes in two models the normal Outback and the Wilderness.
Lets chat about the normal Outback. It comes in three versions, Outback, Premium and Touring
The first thing you notice is that the wagon profile has gone. Its more SUV like now, standing taller.
I like the new design but do miss the quirkiness of the capable wagon concept.
Inside there is a new 12.1-inch horizontal infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™ and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster as standard.
This also heralds a return to touch controls for things like air conditioning. Rather than on the screen. Surprisingly, for the first time there is no CD drive.
I was a fan of the vertical screen in the last model, but the new design brings a fresh appeal.
Another change is the controls for X-Mode are now on the steering wheel.
Subaru certainly likes to pack a lot of controls on their wheels.
The Outback is powered by the familiar 2.5 L non turbo petrol horizontally opposed boxer engine. This provides 137 kW of power and 254 Nm of torque driving all four wheel through the brilliant symmetrical AWD system. It comes with an eight step Lineartronic CVT.
As you would expect from Subaru, the Outback is class leading in safety features as well.
Pricing is from $48,990 through to $56,990 plus the usual costs
