Subaru Outback reviews



Launched in Europe in 1996, the Subaru Outback pioneering concept of "Crossover," which combines comfort, interior space and superior way of holding a family farm with off-road capability and ground clearance of a vehicle commercial sport. This special blend of skills are honed.

The new Subaru Forester is longer, wider and taller than the model it replaces. It is also better able and more engaging to drive on road and off-road and offers more space and comfort for all occupants.

Although it retains the bold, assured attitude of his predecessors, the new Outback has a brand new "face". There is a prominent grille, which now has Subaru-brand "wing" pattern. This detail fat, combined with a pair of ultra-modern, three-dimensional headlights gives the car a go anywhere look subtle but concentrated.

Profile Subaru Outback continues through premium brands muscular flared wheel arches, standard 17-inch alloys fit and a glass house framed by chrome. Its roofline sweeps back where he meets new body color D-pillars.

Inside is a sophisticated interior design that blends seamlessly with the new Subaru Outback subtly muscular exterior lines. Subaru design team is very focused on the production of a sense of space and quality and, thanks to several improvements, such as adjusting the seat higher, softer cushioning to reduce NVH, the cabin of a Subaru Outback even more luxury and pampering to travel.

The 1998 cc diesel, which has a six-speed manual transmission, produces 150 hp and maximum torque of 350 Nm a.

Bragging completely redesigned suspension and a new all-steel structure of the unitary state, handling and stability Subaru Outback has been significantly improved. The presence of the company's highly acclaimed Japanese AWD system also reassure buyers that it is the sure-footed at all times.

DESIGN AND PLANNING

It is clear that inherit dynamic style "crossover" of his predecessors, but with a bolder silhouette and distinctive projects of the new fourth-generation Subaru Outback larger presence, both on and off road. The increase in the length, width, height and wheelbase of the vehicle, provided that the design team at Subaru to give the Subaru Outback a more muscular and expressive design.
The vertical grille pattern that divides family'wing Subaru "is more visible and positioned in a higher position by providing a stronger, better looking vehicle. The separate three-dimensional shape more angular headlamps with separate fog lights round at both ends of the bumper abundant reflects a greater sense of stability.

Sides of the vehicle are now most important feature of the overall design, with pronounced, muscular wheel arches and a new Subaru Outback mention of a go-anywhere four-wheel drive bases. Edge of the glass-house framed by chrome trim enhance the feeling of premium quality.

The roofline tapers quietly behind, if it meets the new, colored D-pillars (the previous generation Outback D-pillars were clad in black-and-panel visually expand the greenhouse). This feature new design emphasizes the development of a uniform appearance and increases the feeling of solidity.

When all the Subaru Outback, 17-inch alloy wheels are standard.

More space inside the new high quality chalet

Sophisticated inner harmony with the Subaru Outback is subtly muscular exterior lines and focused, and gives much more spacious cabin with a real sense of quality.

The design team was a key mantra of "Feeling active and Quality", and at the same time take advantage of more available within the new body, has focused the attention to detail to ensure easy access to functions for the driver and passenger comfort for long journeys. Double seal on all doors and windows to improve the refinement, reducing the intrusion of wind noise.

The all-new, most of the front seats provide good comfort and support, with 10-way power adjustable on the driver's seat (including lumbar support), and adjustment of power to four lanes in the passenger seat. The front seats are equipped with soft cushions and 20% of seat backs 10% softer.
Driving benefits home to several options, with an increase of 10 mm forward / off slide back, moving 20 mm high again, an increase of 2 degrees of tilt and lumbar cushion 20 mm. Rear passengers also offer greater comfort, with reclining 60/40 split over a range of 20 degrees.

Front of the driver, a new instrument panel with four rings described in the aluminum rings, and the new three-spoke steering wheel is leather wrapped, with integrated audio and cruise control and a wider range of adjustment - 40 mm both reach and rake.

Subaru Outback with leather seats as standard.

MOTORS

This 1998 cc diesel engine is based on the Subaru "Boxer Diesel" in March 2008 - the first boxer diesel engine for passenger cars produced in volume. It produces a maximum power of 150 hp and maximum torque of 350 Nm between 1800 and 2400 revolutions per minute.

Subaru Outback for 2011, this engine has several unique technical improvements and strengthening of ecological character. The shape of the piston has been changed to a pattern of wide and shallow. This, along with improvements in the flow in the combustion chamber, combustion efficiency and reduces the production of particulate matter. A "lift sensor" was added to the variable geometry turbocharger for a more precise control of the blades.
Spark plugs have been changed from one type of metal to a ceramic type, increasing the maximum operating temperature and provide better cold start.

Fuel injection control is optimized and the intake manifold has been redesigned to improve resin flow characteristics of air torque and fuel consumption. An additional advantage of the new resin is weight reduction of 1.5 kg in the previous version of aluminum.

One of the muffler is used to optimize engine performance and noise level, but also to save weight. In addition, a vibration-absorbing structure in the middle of the main drain pipe also reduces the noise level.

Subaru Boxer Diesel is equipped with a closed diesel particulate filter (DPF) that has a filter in the shape of the honeycomb of silicon carbide. DPF, which is down the turbocharger to keep the car a low center of gravity, improving the efficiency of the combustion engine and reduce exhaust particles, to promote respect for the environment.

And finally, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler has been expanded to improve efficiency by 12% - reduction of NOx emissions to ensure that the new Outback is compatible with Euro 5 gas exhaust.

Provides excellent protection for the safety of collisions

Use the advanced reinforcement ring-shaped body through the Subaru Outback improves the safety of collisions and resistance against influences from all directions. Additional support is newly adopted sub-frame mounting system for an enlarged front crumple zone, to further improve occupant protection.

In a frontal collision, the new front sub-frame deforms in a controlled and pushed the engine back and down. As a result, disappears behind the movement of such a large mass effect and energy to assist in the efficient absorption of collision energy in the structure of the main body.

To strengthen the protection side, ultra-high strength steel plate (980 MPa level) used for the B-pillar and side sill structures to improve the local taxi rigidity region. In addition, two-door impact beams placed in each front door and back. Optimally placing the beams on the internal structure of the door is enough space provided to minimize the crushing intrusion. In addition, a door sensor "mounted to prevent the bottom of the back door to twist in the cabin - especially in rear impacts.

Despite the relatively short rear overhang, the structure Subaru Outback has been optimized so that the rear impact energy is absorbed efficiently in a controlled and gradual crushing of the rear sub-frame.
