HEAVY-DUTY SUSPENSION
Riding on reinforced springs, shocks and other
strengthened components that comprise its heavy
duty suspension, the Outback enables you to travel
over rocky, uneven surfaces. And with up to 8.7
inches of ground clearance, you have the ability to
clear many of the unpaved roads that would block
the path of other vehicles.
SI-DRIVE
Maximizing engine performance and efficiency is
within easy reach with the available Subaru Intelligent
Drive (SI-DRIVE) that controls performance character-
istics to suit your driving needs—or desires. Available
on the 2.5 XT Limited and the 3.0R L.L.Bean Edition, it
goes from nice and effi cient to fi erce in a mere fl ick.
LET’S TAKE IT OUTSIDE
Rocky paths. Damp conditions. Curves in the road. Bring it all on. With the rugged yet refi ned
suspension of the Outback, you can tackle the roads that lead to your great adventure with
confi dence. Its control stability and available Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system help the
Outback maintain composure in virtually any weather. Its versatility ensures that your equip-
ment is close at hand. Its intelligent proportions and effi cient power appeal to your conscience.
And you can motivate your Outback with your choice of a fuel-effi cient 170-horsepower 4-cylinder
engine, a thrilling 243-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder, or a smooth-revving 245-horsepower 6-cylinder
engine. Nature beckons. Respond with the capability of the Outback.
TRANSMISSIONS
Smooth, synchronized shifting is provided by the
5-speed manual that’s paired with the 170-horsepower
or 243-horsepower turbocharged engine. You can
also opt for the convenience of an automatic with
SPORTSHIFT
®
manual control. The 245-horsepower
6-cylinder engine is matched to a standard 5-speed
SPORTSHIFT automatic transmission.
