The new Subaru Outback, in its sixth generation, promises to go a step further in safety and resistance.
It will reach Spanish dealers in May and is the first to be built on the
Subaru Global Platform (SGP)
, which allows it to take a leap in
safety, comfort and ride quality
, as announced by the Japanese manufacturer.
Subaru adds that it is
more spacious, capable, advanced and refined
than the previous model.
Completely renovated exterior
For starters, the
exterior design
is completely new, with a more country look and more defined lines.
The
wider protection
, the new hexagonal grid, the 'outdoor' pack with
coating front and rear
and fog lamps LED arranged vertically in the corners emphasize their appearance SUV.
It is available in three finishes (
Trek, Field and Touring
) and is offered in two colors specially created for this model (
autumn green and bright bronze
).
11.6 inch screen
The interior has also been redesigned and the use of new materials has enhanced the
quality feel
throughout the cabin.
The
widened windshield
and the line running from the center of the instrument panel to the doors create a more spacious atmosphere.
Its
large 11.6-inch touchscreen arranged vertically
on the center console features Subaru's most advanced infotainment system and can be operated
like a tablet or smartphone
.
10 liter larger boot
The passenger compartment is wider thanks to the increased distance between the front and rear seats (
+10.8 mm
) and there is more space between the front seats at the height of the hips (
+30 mm
) and the shoulders (
+ 7 mm
).
In addition, it debuts
Subaru's
first
'hands-free' electric gate
, which allows easy opening by
bringing the arm closer to the sensor integrated in the rear logo
.
By incorporating an electric motor into the tailgate arms, the
boot opening
has been widened by almost 30mm, making loading and unloading easier.
In addition, the length of the same is 23.9 mm greater and, as a consequence, the load capacity has increased by 10 liters, now having
522 liters
.
Roof rails with retractable bars
But the Outback's impressive cargo capacity doesn't stop there.
For added versatility, the new family crossover features
roof rails with integrated, retractable crossbars
.
When opening the rear doors, the step (floor) is wider and has an
anti-slip pattern
to allow luggage to be loaded on the roof in a more stable position.
Evolved EyeSight System
But really what impresses the new Subaru Outback is its great technological arsenal, especially in relation to security systems.
It incorporates the new generation of
EyeSight technology
, which has 11 safety functions, among which are the following novelties:
advanced adaptive cruise control
, lane stay function, steering control in case of emergency,
recognition of signals from speed
and intelligent speed limiter and
reverse emergency braking
.
In addition, the new Outback incorporates
Subaru's
facial recognition
technology
called
Driver Monitoring System
into its safety package
, which alerts the driver in case of
distraction or fatigue
.
The Subaru Global Platform also ensures maximum safety for all passengers thanks to the increased use
of high-strength steel panels
for a lighter body and greater protection in frontal, side and rear collisions.
According to Subaru, these steel panels
absorb 40% more energy
and therefore significantly reduce the force of impact.
New 169 hp Boxer engine
And of course, the permanent all-wheel drive Subaru All Wheel Drive could not be absent, which is combined with a
new 2.5-liter Boxer engine
, four horizontally opposed cylinders and direct injection of 169 hp.
The
Lineartronic CVT-type automatic transmission
has been renewed with a more open final ratio and
8 preset gears
, the eighth of them designed for greater fuel efficiency on the highway.
In addition,
Subaru has improved the suspension and the chassis
, eliminating vibrations in the steering, floor and seats.
The
rigidity of the body
is also greater thanks to the SGP platform, the incorporation of structural adhesives that reduce vibrations and increase acoustic insulation, as well as an
increase in the suspension travel
.
The new Outback features X-Mode with two riding modes:
Snow Dirt
(snow / gravel) and
Deep Snow Mud
(deep snow and mud).
In addition, it offers excellent
ground clearance
, now reaching
213 mm
, and angles of attack and departure of
19.7 °
and
22.6 °
respectively, with a ventral angle of
21.0 °
, in addition to a
2,000 kg towing capacity
.
Waiting for the price
Subaru has not yet revealed
consumption figures or prices for
the new Outback for the Spanish market, although it is probably available
from 35,000 euros
with discounts and a promotional campaign.
