Performance

Fun to drive

After a week cruising down city motorways, the Outback is restless for adventure. So, take it out of the city and take it off the beaten track. This is where some SUVs get nervous. This is where the Outback gets real.

With Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and X-Mode, coupled with your choice of either Subaru's famous 2.5-litre Boxer engine and 2,000kg* braked towing capacity on the Subaru Outback AWD, Outback AWD Sport and Outback AWD Touring, or the all-new 2.4-litre turbocharged Boxer Engine with impressive 2,400kg* braked towing capacity, the Outback is ready to take you there.

All wheels, all of the time

The sign of a true performer, is good balance. And when it comes to driving a Subaru, superior balance equals superior vehicle control. That’s why Subaru has built its reputation on its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system and a symmetrical drivetrain that deliver an innate sense of balance from the ground up. Symmetrical AWD delivers engine power to all four wheels simultaneously. Having power distributed across all four wheels, rather than two on conventional vehicles, gives you twice the traction capacity. So under acceleration there’s more grip for cornering and more capacity to keep on track through the corners.

Ultimately, having the driving force spread across all four wheels means greater control and confidence under all conditions. The traction and control delivered by Symmetrical AWD is further enhanced by the Outback’s suspension. The wide track rigid front suspension produces more responsive steering and cornering, while the double wishbone rear suspension ensures a smooth, controlled ride with outstanding handling, comfort and quietness. For you, the driver, it all adds up to an agile and responsive vehicle with optimum balance, control and confidence in a variety of driving conditions.

Braked towing capacity

Whether traversing mountain ranges or hauling the camper trail, the all-new Subaru Outback AWD Sport XT and Outback AWD Touring XT have an increased 2,400kg towing capacity with the extra power, more torque and increased acceleration of the new 2.4-litre turbocharged Boxer engine. For those with a lighter load to tow, and an eye on fuel efficiency, the 2.5-litre Boxer engine confidently pulls an impressive 2,000kg1. Both powerful and reliable engines work in tandem with core Subaru technologies and the Subaru Global Platform (SGP). This streamlined framework features a rigid suspension base which helps maintain ideal tyre contact and grip, delivering responsive steering, confident cornering and optimum control.
