Larger than the previous Outback, the 2010 Subaru Outback goes along the lead of the 2010 Subaru Legacy. The Outback that has been unveiled at the New York auto show and is scheduled to go on sale in August will be available with Subaru’s true crossover, Tribeca.
The Subaru Outback would get 256-horsepower 3.6-liter flat-6. Besides, the Outback will ride on a wheelbase more or less alike to the Tribeca’s. The Outback has been built on a new platform as the 2010 Legacy; however, the Outback is 2 inches wider across the shoulders and has a 107.9-inch wheelbase. The results are that there is a substantial increase in the front hiproom, rear shoulder room and rear legroom.
Overall passenger volume has been increased from 8 cubic feet to 105.4. The enlarged cargo room is supported by a new double-wishbone rear suspension. If you still need room to put away your stuffs on the roof, then you can enjoy the benefits of the new roof rack of the Outback that has fold-away crossbars.
To remain the most off-road-worthy among any U.S.-market wagon, the ground clearance ends up 0.3 inch to 8.7. The base tires are 215/70R16s, however the H6-equipped Outback in Subaru’s booth wore P225/60R17 89T Continentals. The trim level are 2.5i Limited and 2.5i, 2.5i Premium for the four-cylinder Outback.
Additional innovative features that one can find in the Subaru Outback include Bluetooth for audio devices, electronic parking brake, iPod integration and a navigation system that supports a back-up camera and voice recognition.
