Subaru Outback Wilderness – Subaru has released the all new seventh generation Outback. This comes in two models the normal Outback and the Wilderness.
Let’s chat about the Outback Wilderness. It comes in two versions, Wilderness and Wilderness Apex.
Outback Wilderness has a big bold, chunky design. It certainly looks the part of a capable AWD SUV.
However, due to some Australian Design Rules, it is missing some chunky all terrain tyres to match. Im guessing that will be the first thing prospective buyers add.
The interior matches the exterior appeal. There is a redesigned horizontal central touch screen. Air conditioning controls have reverted to physical press buttons, which I like. In addition, there is a new large digital instrument cluster and even more controls on the steering wheel with the addition of X-Mode.
Outback Wilderness comes with 240m of ground clearance. Lets put that into perspective the new Prado GX has 210 mm. Wilderness also features dual-mode X-Mode, and a clever redesigned suspension system that works in tandem with X-Mode.
The Outback Wilderness is powered by a 2.4 L turbo petrol boxer engine, delivering 194 kW of power and 382 Nm of torque. Driving all four wheel through the brilliant symmetrical AWD system. It comes with an eight step Lineartronic CVT. The extra performance over the normal Outback is noticeable and appreciated.
As you would expect from Subaru, the Outback Wilderness is class leading in safety features as well.
Pricing is from $59,690 through to $62,690 plus the usual costs
