The next-generation Subaru Outback was one of the final reveals of the 2014 New York Auto Show and it almost went amiss.
It’s business as usual for the Subaru Outback and it continues to offer the most spacious interior, a capable chassis and impressive fuel consumption. The all-new 2015 Outback focuses on off-pavement control, ride control, interior refinement, on-road agility and also features new safety technology.
There’s three specification / trim lines available and there’s also a number of powerplants available ranging from a 2.5-litre flat-four motor to a range-topping 3.6-litre six-cylinder with almost 200 kW! Hopefully there’s going to be a diesel engine too. All Outback models now come standard with the decent Lineartronic CVT gearbox, which also has paddles behind the steering wheel. It’s this transmission which is credited for the new Subaru Outback impressive and improved fuel economy.
Given the fact that the outgoing model won Towcar of The Year Award, I’d be surprised if we don’t see the new Subaru Outback arriving on South African shores in the near future. At the time of publishing, Subaru Southern Africa was busy investigating trim options for our market.
