Subaru Outback For Sale

Subaru Outback From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Subaru Legacy. (Discuss) Subaru Outback Manufacturer Subaru Production 1995–present Assembly Ōta, Gunma, Japan Lafayette, Indiana, USA Class Mid-size station wagon / crossover SUV Mid-size car (sedan) Layout F4 layout The Subaru Outback is a crossover automobile manufactured by Subaru since 1995. Its original concept originated with Subaru of America, which was suffering from slumping sales in the mid-1990s partly due to a lack of an entry in the then-burgeoning sport utility vehicle market. Lacking the finances to design an all-new sport utility vehicle, Subaru decided to add body cladding and a suspension lift to their Legacy wagon. Christened the Legacy Outback, after the rugged areas of Australia, Australian actor Paul Hogan was the spokesman in the North American market, playing off the Australian name of the vehicle and portraying the vehicle as a capable and more efficient alternative to larger, truck-based SUVs. All Outbacks sold worldwide are equipped with all wheel drive as standard equipment, the only drivetrain setup available. Sales exceeded expectations, with Tim Mahoney, Senior Vice President of Subaru of America stating "[the Outback] saved our company."[1] Subaru introduced the Outback to Japan as the Legacy Grand Wagon–then renamed Legacy Lancaster in model year 1997. In 2004, the Outback name was adopted worldwide and moved to its own model line (except in Japan). All vehicles in the Outback line are derived from Subaru's Legacy, except the Outback Sport (aka Impreza Outback), which is derived from the Impreza hatchback. Some[1] credit Subaru for inventing the crossover genre with the Outback, while others point to it as the first in a resurgence of a class of vehicles that started with American Motors' Eagle wagon, launched in 1979.

For MY 1994, the Legacy wagon was available as the Alpine Sport and Sun Sport, which were Value Option Packages included on the "L" trim level wagon, and graphics denoting the option package installed. The exterior was designed by Olivier Boulay, who was hired by Subaru on a short-term basis. It became a separately-marketed line in the United States in 1996. At this point it gained Outback-specific changes included unique bumpers (with large driving lamps incorporated into the front bumper), tweed-like seats and door panel inserts, taller tires with more aggressive tread, and a 7.3 in (185 mm) ground clearance, with a 7.87 in (200 mm) ground clearance in Japan. The previous generation Legacy wagon had an optional air suspension, which allowed the driver to temporarily increase the vehicle's ground clearance, however the permanent increased ride height used on the Outback proved to be more practical. Subaru sales had been declining up until that point in North American market. With the help of clever marketing, a trim level called the Outback intent on making the Subaru a more capable multi-terrain vehicle offered an affordable and fuel efficient alternative to the popular SUVs that were outselling Subaru's traditional offerings. 1998 Subaru Legacy Grandwagon Lancaster Limited (Japan) In September 1997, the Japanese Legacy Grand Wagon was renamed Legacy Lancaster though 1998 cars retained the Grand Wagon nameplate along with the new Lancaster plate. The JDM Grand Wagon and Lancaster were only available with the DOHC 2.5 liter flat-4 engine, receiving a 10 hp (7.5 kW) improvement in 1998. Some Japanese-spec Grand Wagons came with digital climate control, plaid seat upholstery, a dual-range manual transmission and a Momo black leather steering wheel. Because the only engine available in Japan was the 2.5 liter engine, and the exterior dimensions exceeded Japanese regulations for vehicles classified as a "compact", Japanese buyers of the Grand Wagon were liable for taxes charged to larger cars, and was regarded as a luxury vehicle in Japan. The Legacy SUS (for "Sport Utility Sedan") was launched with a limited production test run sold in New England (USA) in 1998 and, based on its success, was rolled out nationwide the following year. The "Limited" trim level package for the Outback wagon was standard equipment on the sedan body, with the addition of a (non-functional) hood scoop and trunk-mounted rear wing. The "SUS" moniker was removed with the introduction of the Second Generation. Over the years since its introduction, Subaru has incorporated the Outback nameplate variously to the Outback wagon itself, and an Impreza-based Outback Sport model. All American Outback models are built at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive plant in Lafayette, Indiana. Plastic side cladding was not present on the side doors of the Outback; the lower half of the doors were painted a contrasting color also found on the front and rear bumper covers.

This bodystyle was introduced to Japan September 1998, and was called the Lancaster for the second generation, with the six-cylinder in Japan called the Lancaster 6. The name 'Lancaster' is used for cities in England, Australia, Canada and the United States. The USA-spec Outback was available starting in 2000. The Outback saw a competitor from Nissan in Japan only called the Nissan Avenir Blaster with a similar appearance to the Outback starting October 17, 2000. The rear seat on the Outback sedan does not fold down, unlike previous generations where the rear seat had a 60:40 folding seat for extended length items. Rear headrests are now included as standard equipment on all trim levels. The ground clearance is 7.3 in (190 mm). The engine now meets California's LEV emission standard. All trim levels retained the typical AWD layouts seen in previous generation Outback, depending on transmission choice. Manual transmission models came with a mechanical "Continuous AWD" system which was normally 50/50 front/rear, and relied on limited slip differentials to redirect power front to rear, rear to front, and from one rear wheel to the other (when fitted with a rear limited slip differential). Automatic transmission models had an electronically-controlled AWD system that was 90/10 front/rear and redirected differing amounts of power to the rear wheels continuously. When accelerating or driving uphill, the vehicles weight shifts rearward, reducing front wheel traction, causing the transmission to automatically send torque to the rear wheels to compensate. When braking or driving downhill, the vehicle's weight shifts towards the front, reducing rear wheel traction. The transmission again compensates by sending torque to the front wheels for better steering control and braking performance. If the automatic is placed in Reverse or "1st" gear, the transmission divides the torque 50-50 to both front and rear wheels. The Outback came standard with a 165 hp (123 kW) by SAE, 4-cylinder boxer engine, four-cylinder, a DOHC design in '98 and '99 before reverting back to the SOHC design; that, and maximum torque (166 lb·ft (225 N·m)) was available at a lower rpm. The 2.5 L SOHC four cylinder engine uses a timing belt that must be replaced around 100,000 miles (160,000 km), whereas the 3.0 L six cylinder engine uses a timing chain that doesn't require replacement under normal conditions. The base model six-cylinder was offered as the H6-3.0 — its interior, and available options, were identical to those of the Outback "Limited", with the exception of manual transmission, which did not physically fit with the larger powerplant. Badging for all 6-cylinder Outbacks was located on the front grille as well as on the rear of the vehicle. In a higher trim level, known as the Outback L.L. Bean in the USA, a 200 Watt McIntosh stereo system was standard from 2001 to 2003. These were some of the only vehicles ever factory-equipped with McIntosh stereo equipment. Options also included an in-dash six-disc CD changer, VDC (for Vehicle Dynamics Control), and dual moonroofs. OnStar was available as an option on the USA-spec L.L. Bean. In-dash satellite navigation was offered on Japan-spec vehicles on upper trim level wagons starting with Model Year 1998, and continued to offer a Momo black leather steering wheel with genuine wood inlay, gearshift knob and parking brake handle. Plaid upholstery was still offered on Japan-spec Lancasters. The six-cylinder was also available as the VDC, with Subaru's VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control) system, which integrated stability control with traction control. The system was also mated to a previously used Japanese-market AWD system, called VTD, in which power was split 45/55 front-to-rear in normal conditions. When wheel spin is detected, the system cuts power to the spinning wheel and directs power to those that aren't. Only when necessary do the brakes slow the affected wheels, when the vehicle detects excessive oversteer or understeer. This package had more sound insulation than other trims, as well as those features found on the L.L. Bean, such as McIntosh stereo, OnStar, and leather interior. Its curb weight was just slightly higher than that of the standard L.L. Bean trim, and while the VDC badging was placed on the front quarter panels only, the H6-3.0 and Outback markings were also applied as usual. [edit] Australian delivered models Australian-specification vehicles differ from cars delivered in the United States by following the Japanese models; primarily headlights, side indicators (on front quarter panels), rear tail lights, front and rear bumpers and a higher placing of the "Outback" badging on the front door bodywork (as opposed to being placed on the plastic cladding). This generation of Outback was released in an early style with gold coloured cladding, all-in-one headlights (not dissimilar to the US model headlights) and internally a light gray cloth (sometimes speckled with various colours), a light brown wood textured dashboard and a plain instrument cluster. A nudge bar (a smaller style of bullbar or roobar) was also available as an aftermarket option. The later style (2002–2004) was updated with silver cladding, an updated range of paint colours, multi-unit headlights (where headlight and indicators were in different sections of the unit) and internally a dark gray/black cloth, dark gray plastics, a very dark brown faint wood texture and metal trims on the dials of the instrument cluster. Models available included the base "Outback", the "Outback Limited" which added a sunroof and cloth/leather seats and the "Outback H6" which included the 6 cylinder engine with VDC as described in this article. The H6 was released with slightly different 16" wheels and available in a single metallic pearl off-white colour instead of the usual colour with gold or silver cladding. The H6 was only available in automatic, apparently due to the size of the 6-cylinder engine taking up too much space to fit the manual box and associated dual range mechanicals. [edit] Subaru Baja Main article: Subaru Baja 2004 Subaru Baja Turbo The Subaru Baja (pronounced ba-ha) was a light-utility, all-wheel-drive, four passenger, four-door crossover manufactured from 2003-2006 by Subaru. The Baja combined the handling and passenger carrying characteristics of a car with the open-bed versatility, and to a lesser degree, load capacity of a pickup truck. The unibody design borrowed heavily from existing mechanicals, platform and sheetmetal of the second generation Subaru Outback wagon.[2] Production began on July 18, 2002[3] as a 2003 model at the Lafayette, Indiana, factory (Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc., aka SIA) once shared with Isuzu. The Baja's concept recalls many similar car-based, open-bed vehicles: Subaru's earlier BRAT four-wheel-drive, unibody pickup marketed in the US from 1978–1987 Other small US-marketed unibody pickups: Volkswagen Caddy, Dodge Rampage/Plymouth Scamp The prominent US rear-wheel drive Ford Ranchero and Chevy El Camino[4] the two- and four-door vehicles of Australia, known as Utes much earlier American car-based pickup truck known as Coupe Utilities. The Baja is named after Mexico's Baja California peninsula—home to the Baja 1000 off-road race.

Models equipped with a 3.0 L H6 were introduced at the 2004 Chicago Auto Show. The ground clearance is 8.5 in (220 mm). The Outback carries the same model codes as the Legacy Wagon, BP9 for the 2.5 liter, and BPE for the 3.0 liter model. The highest trim level offered in the USA is the Outback L.L. Bean that offers optional equipment as standard, including wood and leather steering wheel, an auxiliary port on the stereo for MP3 compatibility, perforated leather seats, GPS navigation, double sized, one piece, glass moonroof and the H6. A new Outback variant for 2005+ is the Outback XT. This model comes with Subaru's turbocharged 2.5L 4-cylinder engine found in the Impreza WRX model. This engine produces 243 hp (181 kW), which is much higher than the naturally aspirated 2.5L producing 175 hp (130 kW). The XT model can be equipped with any of the 3 standard transmissions: 4-speed Auto-SportShift, 5-speed Auto-SportShift, or 5-speed manual. In July 2008, Subaru ceased offering a special edition L.L. Bean trim level on the Outback.[5] Subaru beefed up their AWD 4EAT transmission's design and released the 5EAT w/ SportShift in 2005 The Outback received styling revisions for the 2008 model year, notably an enlarged, chrome-ringed grille. As of the 2008 model year, the Legacy wagon and Outback sedan were discontinued in the United States, leaving the Legacy sedan and Outback wagon. The JDM and EU diesel model has a "Start/Stop" button (in the top-of-the-line-model), found in Lexus, Infiniti, Audi and other high end makers. For 2008, the 2.5i USA model has been certified PZEV emissions, and a badge has been attached to the rear of the vehicle on the bottom right hand side of the tailgate. All other models are certified LEV2. The PZEV Outback is available for sale in all 50 states, unlike other manufacturers who only sell PZEV certified vehicles in states that have adopted California emission standards. In 2007, the Outback (along with the Ford Mondeo) won Top Gear's "Car of the Year" award.[6] [edit] EyeSight Starting May 2008, the Japanese-spec Legacy could be fitted with a new safety feature called EyeSight. It consists of two cameras, one on each side of the rear view mirror, that use human-like stereoscopic vision to judge distances and generally keep tabs on the driver. The system helps maintain a safe distance on the highway, warns the driver during unintended lane departure, emits a wake up call should everyone else pull away from the traffic lights, and keeps an eye out for pedestrians.[7][8] SI-Cruise has been integrated into the EyeSight feature as a driver safety aid. [edit] Diesel The Subaru EE series flat-4 diesel engine is offered in both Legacy and Outback models in Europe exclusively. Identified as the Subaru Outback 2.0D, the vehicle was released March 2008. The vehicle is offered with a 5-speed manual transmission only. The official introduction of the Legacy and Outback diesel was at the Geneva Motor Show in March, 2008. According to the Subaru Owners on-line newsletter dated March 2008, Subaru is "currently making modifications to the diesel so it meets the more stringent U.S. standards. Subaru diesel models should be domestically available in two to three years."[9][10][11] [edit] Engines Model Years Type (code) Power, torque@rpm Global engines 2.5i 2005- 2,457 cc (2.5 L; 149.9 cu in) SOHC H4 N/A (Naturally Aspirated) (EJ253) 173 PS (127 kW; 171 hp)@6000, 227 N·m (167 ft·lbf)@4400 3.0R 2004- 3,000 cc (3.0 L; 183.1 cu in) DOHC H6 AVCS (EZ30) 245 PS (180 kW; 242 hp)@6000, 297 N·m (219 ft·lbf)@4200 2.0D 2003?- 1,998 cc (2.0 L; 121.9 cu in) DOHC H4 turbodiesel (EE20) 150 PS (110 kW; 148 hp)@3600, 350 N·m (258 ft·lbf)@1800 [edit] Transmissions Model Years Type Global engines 2.5i 2003?- 5-speed manual dual range, 4-speed Sportshift 3.0R 2003?- 5-speed Sportshift 2.0D 2003?- 5-speed manual [edit] Fourth generation (2009–) Fourth generation Manufacturer Subaru Production 2009– Body style(s) 5-door station wagon Layout AWD Engine(s) 2.0 L DOHC turbodiesel 148 hp (110 kW) H4 2.5 L SOHC i-AVLS 170 hp (130 kW) H4 3.6 L DOHC DAVCS 256 hp (191 kW) H6 Transmission(s) Lineartronic CVT 5-speed automatic 6-speed manual Wheelbase 107.9 in (2740.7 mm) Length 188.2 in (4780.3 mm) Width 71.7 in (1821.2 mm) Height 65.7 in (1668.8 mm) Curb weight 3,658 lb (1,659 kg) (3.6R Limited) Related Subaru Legacy Subaru Tribeca Subaru Exiga The fourth generation Subaru Outback was introduced in April 2009 at the New York Auto Show, the fifteenth anniversary of the first Outback's introduction at the same event. The Outback was introduced in Japan May 20, 2009.[12] The "Legacy" prefix has been dropped internationally. Air Bags are offered for the driver and front passenger, side bolster airbags for front seats on the outer edge, side curtain airbags for front and rear passengers and a knee bolster air bag for the driver. The ground clearance increases to 8.7 in (220 mm), and is the ninth Subaru vehicle to feature continuously variable transmission (CVT). The double-sized moonroof is no longer being offered, and has been reduced to a conventional size that doesn't extend over the rear seats. The turbocharged engine is also no longer offered on all international versions of the Outback. An engine coolant temperature gauge is no longer offered, replaced by a fuel economy gauge instead. When the engine temperature is below normal, an indicator light shines blue and when the engine is overheating, the light turns red. Using the key to unlock the drivers door after locking the vehicle with the remote will set off the security system; the vehicle must be unlocked with the remote, a tradition going back to the first generation when remote keyless access was introduced. The side windows are no longer frameless, ending a Subaru tradition started with the first generation Leone in the early 1970s. The "D" pillar on the wagon is no longer covered in glass, also ending a design tradition established with the first generation and borrowed from the Subaru XT. The front and rear bumper covers are no longer painted a contrasting color, but the plastic side body cladding continues. The external "Limited" badge has been retired on North American vehicles, and if the vehicle has the 3.6 L six cylinder engine, the rear of the vehicle has a "3.6R" badge applied internationally. Black housing for headlights is not offered on the Outback worldwide. The Outback with 2.0 L diesel engine can be distinguished by its hood scoop and "Boxer Diesel" emblem on the rear. January 21, 2010, the Outback was introduced for sale in South Korea. Subaru introduced improvements to the chassis that they call Dynamic Chassis Control Concept, which uses high-tensile steel in critical areas to achieve high strength with lighter weight. The front-end structure introduces Cradle Mount that isolates the suspension and engine from the passenger compartment for a smoother and quieter ride using rubber mounts. New for this generation is a double wishbone rear suspension, with all suspension links and the rear differential isolated from the rear subframe with large rubber mounts to minimize noise and vibration intruding into the passenger compartment. Subaru has also added safety technologies such as Electronic Stability Control, Brake Assist, and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution to the list of standard features. In North America, the fifth generation Outback won Motor Trend magazines Sport/Utility of the Year Award for 2010, and Ward’s Automotive Group's 2010 Interior of the Year awards in the popular-priced car category under $29,999.[13] [edit] North American models 2010 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited (USA) Trim level designations have been modified based on the engine installed; the Subaru EJ engine 2.5 L naturally aspirated engine are labeled 2.5i, 2.5i Premium, and 2.5i Limited, with the Subaru EZ 6-cylinder engine identified as 3.6R, 3.6R Premium and 3.6R Limited. As with previous generations, leather interior is only available in 2 colors (Warm Ivory or Off-Black) on Limited trim packages on specific exterior colors, and a glass moonroof is optional only on the Limited; cloth interiors are offered in the specified colors on lower trim level packages. A 440 W, 9-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system, using Dolby Pro Logic II technology and DTS Digital Sound, with Bluetooth and iPod capability is optional on the Limited trim packages. An 8 in (203.2 mm) voice activated GPS touch screen navigation system is optional only on the Limited. A separate Bluetooth wireless package with voice recognition, called Blueconnect, is available on lower trim levels and is not offered internationally. A Harman/Kardon-sourced stereo with a 6-disc in-dash CD changer and SRS Circle Surround sound is the standard sound system offered, with six speakers on all trim levels. A dual zone digital climate control system with 6-speed fan is standard and only available on the Limited; the base and Premium model have a 4-speed fan. Base and Premium trim levels have silver metallic trim on the interior door panels and dashboard; the Limited trim package has woodgrain accents. All trim levels are fitted with a retractable roof installed luggage rack, where the crossmembers are permanently attached but can be swung into the luggage carrier support structure when not in use, currently available only on North American models. Also, the North American Outback has lower side body claddings, which are not applied to ROW models (although the cladding may come on ROW models as a dealer-installed option). The interior retractable rear cargo cover has a separate storage compartment in the spare tire storage area so that the cargo cover can be removed for large items but stored inside the vehicle and out of the way. The rear seatbacks can be partially reclined for comfort. All models are now available with painted exterior door handles, with black exterior side mirrors on the base level 2.5i, and painted mirrors on Premium and Limited. The Limited can be identified externally by simulated aluminium surround for the front foglights and matching trim piece on the bottom edges of the side door sill protector, front, and rear bumpers; the Premium and base model remain black. The grille appearance is unique on North American models so as to provide a visual similarity to the larger facelifted Tribeca and the third generation Forester. The 2.5i uses the flat-4 engine with 6-speed manual transmission or the optional Lineartronic Continuously variable transmission with steering column mounted paddle shifters that allows the driver to select 6 "virtual gears" in manual mode. The 3.6R uses the flat-6 engine (from the Subaru Tribeca) exclusively with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The conventional automatic transmission is only available with the flat-6 engine, and the 6-speed manual transmission is not available on the 2.5i Limited. The PZEV Outback 2.5i, identified by a badge attached to the rear of the vehicle, continues to be sold in all 50 states, unlike other manufacturers who only sell PZEV certified vehicles in states that have adopted California emission standards. All other models have been certified LEV2 or ULEV. [edit] Japanese models JDM Subaru Outback 3.6R (note difference in front grille, side mirror installed turn signals, and pop-up headlight washers) The Japanese-specification Outback is available with either the 2.5 L flat-4 or the 3.6 L flat-6 engine.[14] The EJ20 engine is no longer used in the Legacy or the Legacy Outback.[15] The trim levels are 2.5i, 2.5i L package and 3.6R and 3.6R SI-Cruise. SI-Cruise is an autonomous cruise control system that can reduce or resume a preset speed or bring the vehicle to a complete stop if the system detects a slower vehicle is being followed, without driver intervention. Air vents are installed for rear passengers at the back of the center front armrest compartment. The front hood (bonnet) and front bumper covers are not interchangeable with the North American version due to slight changes in the sheet metal. Turn signal repeaters are still integrated into the side exterior mirrors on all Japanese-spec models. Woodgrain accents are standard on the "L" package and the SI-Cruise vehicle, silver accents on lower trim levels. SI-Drive control knob (earlier version) SI-Drive, or Subaru Intelligent-Drive,[16] (Japanese: SI-Drive) is standard equipment on all trim versions. It is a feature that enables three distinctly different modes of vehicle performance characteristics (identified as "Sport", "Sport Sharp", and "Intelligent") by regulating the engine control unit (ECU), the automatic transmission control unit (TCU, if equipped), and by fine-tuning the electronically controlled throttle. The SI-Drive control knob is installed on the center console between the heated front seat control switches. The "Intelligent" mode makes throttle response more gradual, and decreases maximum engine power by 10 percent. The "Sport" mode allows the engine to run at higher speeds and increases fuel efficiency by 5 percent in comparison to Subaru engines without the feature. The "Sport # (Sharp)" mode makes throttle response more abrupt and enables the automatic transmission to maintain higher RPMs within a given gear's range, and minimizes the electric power steering wheel effort. When the engine is started, the default setting is the "Sport" selection. Japanese buyers can choose two different premium level entertainment systems; they can select the previously described Harman/Kardon GPS-stereo with six speakers, or a McIntosh sourced GPS/stereo with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, a separate powered amplifier and 10 speakers. Both units are Gracenote, G-BOOK and VICS enabeled, with both systems available with an internal 600 MHz 40GB HDD coupled with a digital TV tuner that can be watched when the transmission is in park and the parking brake applied. Both stereos are compatible with CD, CD-R/RW, DVD and DVD R/RW as well as MP3 and WMA music formats. A Harman/Kardon sourced stereo with a 6-disc in-dash CD changer and SRS Circle Surround sound is the entry level sound system offered with six speakers and is standard equipment. The McIntosh stereo facia is offered in the trademark black with a clear plastic overlay and the center dashboard trim piece retains the brushed aluminum appearance but the color is black, with the climate controls offered in a matching black appearance, instead of the standard silver. Oddly, the Japanese version has a retractable cover for the console installed cupholders, whereas the North American version has exposed cupholders without a retractable cover. The dual-zone climate control system is standard on all trim levels. The GPS navigation system can be displayed in a split-screen format showing both two- and three dimensions with graphic landmarks instead of a flat screen without geographical images. HID headlights are standard on all models except the base 2.5i, as well as automatic rain sensing windshield wipers and headlight washers. A smart key is available as an option coupled with two position memory seat that memorizes driver's seat positions and adjustments, exterior mirror adjustment, and climate control settings. The settings can be customized based on the smart key module being used to unlock and start the car. The Outback can be fitted with twin white LED lights installed on the interior hatch vertically surrounding the rear window, with a separate light switch for additional illumination when the rear hatch is open. On the one year anniversary of the introduction of the fourth generation, "EyeSight" was once again offered on the Japanese-spec Outback. EyeSight consists of 2 cameras with one on each side of the interior rear view mirror, that use human like stereoscopic vision to judge distances and generally keep tabs on the driver. The system can help maintain a safe distance on the highway, a lane departure warning system, a wake up call when traffic lights change, and even keeps an eye out for pedestrians. SI-Cruise has been integrated into the EyeSight feature as a driver safety aid.

The Outback Sport is the top trim level of the Impreza wagon model with no significant mechanical or performance changes from the lower trim levels. The Outback Sport package was never available on the Impreza sedan or coupe from Subaru, unlike the Outback package being available on both the Legacy-based sedan and wagon (due to the size, the Outback Sport was smaller than Outback). One engine was offered, which was the 2.2 liter, and it was the first time the 2.2 engine was used in the American Impreza. Later, the 2.5 engine was introduced. In Japan, the Impreza Sport Wagon was offered with a similar approach to the Outback Sport, calling it the Impreza Gravel Express with the WRX turbocharged engine. Subaru discontinued the Gravel Express when the second generation Impreza was introduced due to very limited sales, and introduced the Subaru Forester as a replacement. The hoodscoop found on the American Outback Sport was non-functional but was probably included because the American and Japanese versions were built at the same factory in Japan. The Outback Sport was offered with optional equipment, such as a gauge pack installed on top of the dashboard, that included a digital compass, outside temperature and barometer or altimeter readings. 2008–2009 Subaru Outback Sport The Second Generation Outback Sport was sold in Australia for model years 2001-2007, but it was renamed as the Impreza RV with the same color scheme as the American version.[17][18] The Australian version had a dual-range manual transmission, not available in the USA. Subaru found some sales success with the Outback Sport as a smaller companion with similar ride height changes, body colors and trim levels to the larger, more successful selling Legacy based Outback. The Outback Sport "incorporates the performance features of an Impreza with the rugged durability of the Outback" according to the Outback Sport website,[19] continuing to offer it as a trim option of the Impreza, with exterior cosmetic and interior equipment modifications. It is an alternative for buyers who don't like the SUV/CUV appearance of the Forester and don't need the extended ground clearance. The Outback Sport has been offered for the same amount of time as the larger Legacy wagon based Outback, but the larger Outback has seen more sales than the smaller Outback Sport. Mechanically, the Outback Sport is the same as the standard Impreza hatchback; no high performance equipment found on the Impreza WRX or STi is included on the Outback Sport. The slight increase in ground clearance is due to the larger wheels equipped on the Outback Sport, and not a result of suspension modification. Outback Sport models can be easily identified from the standard Sport Wagon or newly released 5 door hatchback by the color of the front and rear bumper covers and matching door rub strip that are painted a contrasting color from the paint used for the rest of the car, a coloring scheme also used on the larger Outback. At the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, the third generation Outback Sport was introduced to Europe with the name Impreza XV. [edit] Motorsports Subaru Outback models have been winners of the Alcan Rally, an endurance race that runs from Seattle, Washington to the Arctic Circle and back. An Outback wagon won the race in 2002, driven by Gary Webb, Richard Mooers, and John Kisela and again in 2006, driven by Revere Jones, Brian Deno, and Tom Gould.[20] [edit] References This article incorporates information from the equivalent article on the Japanese Wikipedia.

We start by creating ideal balance by mating the Subaru BOXER engine to the permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. It is this pioneering technology that ultimately makes a Subaru a Subaru. BALANCE The layout of the Subaru BOXER engine and permanent Symmetrical AWD naturally balance not just the drivetrain's mass but its response as well. Together they deliver power more smoothly and distribute it more effectively to all four wheels, providing the superb grip and balance that defines a Subaru. CONTROL The Subaru BOXER engine's flat configuration gives the vehicle a lower centre of gravity. Paired with the superior handling of the permanent Symmetrical AWD, this combination provides more precise, responsive and satisfying control in virtually any driving condition. SAFETY In poor weather, or in the precious seconds it takes to react to an unexpected situation, the combination of the balanced Subaru BOXER engine and surefooted Symmetrical AWD provide the agility that can help drivers avoid a collision. UNCOMMON BALANCE  PERMANENT SYMMETRICAL AWD Since introducing permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive in 1972, Subaru has continually advanced its technology to meet the evolving needs of drivers around the world. A Subaru is engineered to deliver the best possible traction and stability through its AWD, with its engine and drivetrain in a symmetrical, straight-line layout. Power is routed to all four wheels simply and directly, for perfect balance and ultimate driver control. UNCOMMON ROADHOLDINGSUBARU BOXER ENGINE The horizontally-opposed configuration of the Subaru BOXER engine places the pistons opposite each other, for a lower, flatter profile than other engine types. This gives the engine, and therefore the overall vehicle, a lower centre of gravity and better sense of balance. Furthermore, the pistons' opposing movements inherently counteract each other, naturally helping to reduce vibration. BETTER BALANCESMOOTHER OPERATIONGREATER TRACTION With its horizontally-opposed configuration, the Subaru BOXER engine lays flatter, and can sit lower, than other engine designs. The lower centre of gravity for the entire vehicle delivers more balanced handling and flatter cornering. The pistons lay flat on each side of the crankshaft in the Subaru BOXER engine, so they thrust away from each other in a horizontally-opposed configuration. This "punch-counterpunch" action naturally counteracts vibration, for inherently smoother running. Whether you're negotiating a road in bad weather or reacting to avoid an accident, Symmetrical AWD is designed to deliver exceptional traction, and therefore driver confidence, by keeping all four wheels engaged at all times. UNCOMMON STABILITY Unlike other cars, innovative Subaru engineering balances handling precision, occupant protection and driving passion. The Outback features Subaru's Dynamic Chassis Control Concept to extend the benefits of its lower centre of gravity, AWD stability and ultimately its breathtaking performance. SUBARU DYNAMIC CHASSIS CONTROL CONCEPT The Outback elevates the inherent advantages of its signature Subaru layout - balance, composure and response - with the Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept. The body uses high-tensile steel in critical areas to achieve high strength with lighter weight. A rigid new Cradle Mount front-end structure delivers more accurate, natural steering feel whilst allowing the engine and suspension to be more effectively isolated from the cabin for a smoother, quieter ride. The result is more of everything that makes driving a pleasure: giving confidence with comfort, sportiness with safety, and elegance with efficiency - all in perfect balance.

Email Address UNLIKE OTHER ENGINES, THE SUBARU BOXER ENGINE IMPROVES PERFORMANCE IN ALL AREAS Naturally smoother than other engines and capable of generating torque fluently throughout the rev range, the Subaru BOXER engine is a powerful contender. With strong, linear acceleration, and a low-profile configuration that lowers the centre of gravity of the entire vehicle, it delivers a level of handling precision unexpected in a vehicle this comfortable, capable and spacious. The result is uncommonly breathtaking. 2.0-LITRE DOHC SUBARU BOXER DIESEL WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION MAX POWER: 150PS @ 3,600 rpm MAX TORQUE: 350 Nm @ 1,800 to 2,400 rpm FUEL ECONOMY COMBINED: 44.1 mpg, CO2 emissions: 167 g/km The inherent rigidity, smoothness and quiet operation of the Subaru BOXER engine make it the ideal configuration for the world’s first BOXER diesel engine to power a passenger vehicle. Higher-pressure common-rail fuel injection, an improved oxidising catalyst with closed Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), a variable-nozzle turbo and electric power steering reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. New ceramic glow plugs provide quick starting in cold weather. And while it meets the ultra-clean EURO5 emissions standards, it also delivers all of its prodigious 350 Nm of peak torque from just 1,800 rpm. 2.5-LITRE SOHC SUBARU BOXER WITH LINEARTRONIC TRANSMISSION MAX POWER: 167PS @ 5,600 rpm MAX TORQUE: 229 Nm @ 4,000 rpm FUEL ECONOMY COMBINED: 33.6 mpg, CO2 emissions: 194 g/km The SOHC engine delivers high fuel efficiency with ultra-clean EURO5-certified emissions. Refinements to its pistons, ports, intake manifold and even its spark plugs help to make it more responsive around town, more satisfying on the motorway, and cleaner- running on virtually any road. 3.6-LITRE DOHC SUBARU BOXER WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MAX POWER: 260PS @ 5,600 rpm MAX TORQUE: 350 Nm @ 4,400 rpm FUEL ECONOMY COMBINED: 28.2 mpg, CO2 emissions: 232 g/km The largest, most refined engine ever offered in the Outback gives smooth power, quiet operation  and commendable efficiency. Light, compact and perfectly balanced by design, it features the dual Active Valve Control System for impressive torque. Lower friction and increased rigidity further reduce noise, vibration, fuel consumption and emissions. UNCOMMON CONTROL The full range of Outback models offer a choice of drivetrains that are thoroughly and thoughtfully engineered to fit your needs, however you enjoy driving. Three transmission choices, each perfectly matched to its own AWD system, deliver total control. Every Outback also includes a new ECO indicator among its backlit instruments that lets you keep an eye on your driving efficiency too. UNLIKE OTHER TRANSMISSIONS, LINEARTRONIC DELIVERS SEAMLESS PERFORMANCE Seamless performance with no changing gears — Lineartronic variable transmission is continuously working with the driver to provide the ultimate link between power and control. The Continuously Variable Transmission longitudinally paired with AWD uses a chain instead of a belt. This allows greater ratios for improved performance and efficiency and a faster response to your throttle input. It keeps the engine operating in the most favourable rpm range for any driving speed, with a balance of both power and fuel economy. Specifically tuned for instant response with minimal movement of the accelerator pedal, and a more compact design for greater legroom, Lineartronic is the perfect harness for the pure power and broad torque curve of the Subaru BOXER engine. LINEARTRONIC AND ACTIVE TORQUE SPLIT AWD  For instant, seamless response to changing conditions, Outback 2.5i models are fitted with the new Lineartronic transmission. It’s mated to an active torque-split AWD system that responds to traction conditions. Paddle shifters also provide a six-step manual mode for instant response on demand. 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND VARIABLE TORQUE DISTRIBUTION AWD Outback 3.6R models are equipped with a newly refined E-5AT automatic transmission paired with Variable Torque Distribution AWD. The electronically controlled 5-speed transmission features driver-adaptive shifting, blipping control for quicker, smoother downshifts, and manual-style control via paddle shifters. 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND VISCOUS CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL AWD For maximum control a slick-shifting new 6-speed manual transmission is standard on all Outback 2.0 BOXER diesel engines. It’s paired with a limited-slip differential AWD system utilising a centre differential with viscous coupling. Whenever the balance of traction changes, this limited-slip differential immediately redistributes the torque to the front and rear wheels as needed. CRUISE CONTROL The electronic cruise control standard on all Outback models allows the driver to maintain a preset speed on the open road. Elegant metallic-finished controls are located on the steering wheel for convenience and safety. Feedback From The Web Follow Subaru WANT TO STAY IN TOUCH?

Email Address UNLIKE OTHER CARS, AWD MEANS ALL FOUR WHEELS ARE ALWAYS FULLY ENGAGED The permanently engaged Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is complemented by the refined chassis and stability control, combining to provide supreme driver confidence in any weather with each wheel working in harmony to give the ultimate handling control.VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL SYSTEMStandard in every new Outback, Vehicle Dynamics Control monitors and analyses if the vehicle is following the driver's intended course via an array of sensors. If the vehicle approaches the limits of stability, the AWD torque distribution, engine output and brakes at each wheel are adjusted to assist in keeping the vehicle on course.MORE STABLE MANOEUVRES In a corner or an evasive manoeuvre, Vehicle Dynamics Control compares the driver's intentions with the vehicle's actual movements, based on steering and braking, as well as the lateral acceleration and yaw (rotation). The system then adjusts engine output and braking of individual wheels as needed to assist in keeping the car close to the desired course. 1. CORNERING The rigidly mounted suspension, lower centre of gravity and standard Vehicle Dynamics Control work in concert to provide crisp cornering, along with clear communication between the driver and the road. 2. ROUGH ROAD Designed to optimise tyre contact and provide generous wheel travel, the rigidly mounted yet luxuriously compliant suspension has been proven on some of the world's most challenging roads. 3. SMOOTH HIGHWAY The refined, low-friction 4-wheel independent suspension and rigid body structure minimise the transmission of vibration and noise from the road to the passenger cabin for a smooth quiet ride. 4. CHANGING WEATHER The permanent Symmetrical AWD, Vehicle Dynamics Control and precise independent suspension team up to optimise how the tyre responds to the road, to make the most of available traction. FRONT SUSPENSION The strut type front suspension is mounted to a highly rigid Cradle Mount System, and features a wider track and longer wheel travel. Together they deliver flatter cornering as well as a quieter, more comfortable ride over all road surfaces. REAR SUSPENSION Expertly balancing sporty handling with refinement, the new double wishbone rear suspension handles rough roads and sharp corners with poise and precision. To minimise noise and vibration in the cabin, all suspension links and the rear differential are rubber-isolated from their rigid subframe, which is further insulated from the body by larger rubber mounts.  Feedback From The Web Follow Subaru WANT TO STAY IN TOUCH?

Email Address UNCOMMON SAFETY FEATURES Subaru knows the best way to survive a collision is to avoid one, so the Outback's permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive agility and active safety systems will help keep you from experiencing its acclaimed crashworthiness. COLLISION AVOIDANCE Many of the same features which make the Outback so rewarding to drive also contribute to keeping its occupants out of harm's way. The lower centre of gravity of the Subaru BOXER engine enhances the stable, responsive handling of its permanent Symmetrical AWD. The Vehicle Dynamics Control fitted as standard and generously sized brakes endow it with athletic reflexes, whilst the added precision of the Cradle Mount System for the front suspension and steering equip the driver for excellent evasive abilities. All of this, coupled with world renowned Subaru build quality, make the Subaru Outback the ideal choice to keep you and family safe regardless of what the weather throws at you. PASSIVE SAFETY FEATURES Even with the most advanced active safety systems, sometimes an accident is unavoidable. The Outback is designed to protect its occupants with a series of advanced systems and features, balancing rigid strength with controlled deformation in key areas to better mitigate impact forces. The Cradle Mount System for the engine and front suspension effectively lengthens the front crumple zone and helps guide the engine and gearbox under the cabin in the event of a heavy front-end impact.Each side door includes two side-impact protection beams. A comprehensive suite of air bags, whiplash-reducing front seats, retracting pedals and 3-point seat belts help protect occupants directly. It's a core value of the Subaru philosophy that peace of mind is the first step in providing driving enjoyment. BRAKING SYSTEM The standard 4-wheel disc brakes include lightweight aluminium rear callipers and a redesigned booster for more reassuring brake feel, along with a 4-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). Electronic Brake-force Distribution reapportions front and rear- braking pressure when the vehicle is loaded. Brake Assist provides provides maximum braking force in the event of sudden braking should the driver not apply enough brake pressure quickly enough. And Subaru's innovative 'Hill Holder' functionality helps prevent rollback when starting off on a 5% or steeper grade, by holding the vehicle on the brakes for an addtional second after the driver releases the brake pedal. RING-SHAPED REINFORCEMENT FRAMES The Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frames strengthen the passenger cabin from the roof down to the doors, pillars and floor. This design helps to divert and dissipate impact energy away from the occupants in a collision. The front crumple zone is integral to the frame, whilst the cradle mount for the engine and front suspension is designed to help keep these components away from the passenger compartment in a frontal impact. SEATS, SEAT BELTS AND AIRBAGS Standard on the Outback are front, front-side and curtain airbags. Height-adjustable front seat belts include pre-tensioners to hold passengers firmly in place, and load limiters that minimise forces to the chest. In a rear collision, front seats utilise new, more rigid frames, redesigned headrests and a new system incorporating energy-absorbing mountings for the inner seat springs, all to helping to reduce the chance of whiplash.  Feedback From The Web Follow Subaru WANT TO STAY IN TOUCH?
