Monday, 25 February, 2019

 Featuring a 5-star National Highway Safety Transportation Association (NHSTA) safety rating, the 2019 Subaru Outback is packed with features and options that allow you to experience driving like never before. In addition to the 5-star safety rating, Outback is also an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick Plus (when equipped with steering-responsive headlights).

Offering best-in-class fuel mileage of up to 32 mpg highway, Outback can take you further with less fuel. The legendary Boxer engine features 175 horsepower in the gas-sipping 2.5 liter 4-cylinder standard engine or choose the optional 256 horsepower 3.6 liter 6-cylinder for more hauling power and performance. Combined with Subaru’s exclusive Lineartronic CVT transmission, Outback’s drivetrain provides the ultimate in smooth power delivery and efficiency.

Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive with X-MODE is standard on all Outback models, offering the best traction on all surfaces. Sure-footed X-MODE also provides hillside descent assistance for confidence and stability on difficult grades. Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) with Active Torque Vectoring automatically adjust the engine power delivered to each wheel, assuring all power can be delivered in all handling environments. Automatically sensing steering and braking inputs, VDC keeps you on the road.  Standard safety features include Subaru Eye-Sight® Driver Assist Technology, Rear-Vision Camera and most models include Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Optional enhancements include Reverse Automatic Braking, Steering Responsive Headlights and Automatic High Beam Assist. These features keep you safe and comfortable, helping you see better and preventing accidents before they occur. 

Outback is already known for its cargo carrying flexibility, with an outstanding cargo capacity of 35.5 cubic feet behind the rear seat and nearly 75 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. Outback rivals most larger mid-sized SUV’s with its 60/40 folding seat that increases the depth and flexibility to haul all of your cargo. Outback now offers an optional power rear gate to make loading easier when your hands are full. If the interior is not enough for your bulky items, Outback’s standard roof rails and folding crossbars are easily equipped with carriers for bikes, kayaks and all other sorts of items.

Speaking of the interior, Outback’s roomy passenger cabin is loaded with luxurious materials and technology that make your trips comfortable. Starting with noise-reducing laminated glass and aerodynamic mirrors to reduce wind and road noise, Outback is designed with your comfort in mind. Soft, supple seats and stitched dash and door trim provide a well-appointed feel and stylish look. A tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel is standard and available power seats with memory enhance the experience for multiple drivers. The rear seat has plenty of legroom, headroom and width to seat three adults comfortably.

For unsurpassed technology, Outback features the Subaru STARLINK Multimedia system with Apple CarPlay™, Android™ Auto and Pandora® integration standard on all models. Easy wireless pairing through Bluetooth allows hands-free smartphone operation for your favorite personal apps. STARLINK also offers built-in access to SiriusXM®, iHeartRadio®, Magellan and Yelp. A standard 5-inch touchscreen controls the features with a tap and an optional 8-inch touchscreen (standard on all models above the base) features voice-activated navigation and hands-free text messaging. Two USB ports in the front provide convenient charging and improved connectivity options.

If music is your thing, the available Harman Kardon premium audio system features 12 speakers and 576 watts of power to surround you in your favorite tunes.

For all these reasons, the 2019 Subaru Outback is the best choice for all of your life adventures.
