Set to arrive soon, the Wilderness comes with an exclusive 2.4L turbo boxer petrol engine. This produces some 194 kW of power and 382 Nm of torque. This drives all four wheels through the improved Active Torque Split Symmetrical AWD system and an 8 step CVT especially calibrated for the Wilderness, to maximise off-road capability by making the most of the increased low-rev output.

Wilderness also comes with dual mode X-Mode and exclusive suspension tuning allows for even higher ground clearance of 240mm, and electronically controlled dampers linked with X-Mode.

Add to that improved approach, breakover and departure angles and you have the complete adventure based SUV.

Externally the Wilderness gets a rugged style front end and dual tail pipes as well as 18 inch alloys. Internally there are special decals on the water resistant seats etc. Subaru has also changed the central screen from vertical to 12.1 inch  horizontal across its outback models.

Subaru Outback has always been the thinking person’s SUV, and the Wilderness now offers what buyers have wanted for a long time.

Pricing for the Outback Wilderness starts at $59,690 through to $62,690 plus the usual costs. Like always the Subaru Outback represents excellent value.
