If you're currently seeking a performance-based SUV that's purposeful on a range of surfaces, then you can't go wrong by purchasing the new Subaru Outback. This SUV has coupe-like styling for its exterior, but its powertrain is built to deliver optimum performance in some of the harshest of conditions. The new Outback comes in many popular trims such as the Base, Onyx Edition, Touring, and Wilderness. Here's a quick breakdown for how well the vehicle performs.
Performance and Engine Specs
The new Subaru Outback comes equipped with one of several powertrains, but your trim choice determines the engine type. Under the hood sits a 2.5-liter Boxer engine that delivers 176 pound-feet of torque and 182 horsepower. This engine provides a towing capacity of 2,700 pounds while providing 33 mpg on the highway. Auto Start/Stop technology is built in to help with conserving fuel. Owners get a driving range of 600 miles on a full tank of gas. The XT models provide at least 30 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg in the city.
Step your performance game up even more by selecting one of the higher-end trims, which are equipped with a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine for quicker acceleration. This direct-injected engine cranks out 277 pound-feet of torque and 260 horsepower. Your driving experience is enhanced thanks to the CVT transmission's smooth shifts, which mimics the actions of an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The new Subaru Outback comes standard with the brand's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. This advanced system gives the driver more confidence by sending power to the wheels for extra grip on snowy or wet surfaces. The SUV's 9.5 inches of ground clearance allows for traversing rocky terrain with ease. Electric Power-Assisted Steering and Traction Control are also incorporated for better overall performance.
