One of the most popular Subaru cars in our country and around the world is the Subaru Outback model. Reviews of car owners and until that time testified to its high manufacturability and comfort. However, the manufacturer decided to upgrade the machine. The improvement of the car succumbed not only in technical terms, but also in design. In our country, the novelty will be sold with an engine with a volume of 2.5 liters and a CVT variator. The power plant develops 167 "horses".

Exterior

The new "Subaru Outback" has retained the silhouette characteristic of the previous version. In appearance, the designers have updated the optics of the car. Despite this, the exterior is still the same diplomatic and strict. Due to the new large “foglights”, the front of the model resembles a sports car. The car has a branded hexagonal grille. In its central part there is a huge logo of the manufacturing company. The ground clearance of the novelty is 213 mm, which is quite enough in order not toto think about overcoming all sorts of city obstacles and saving the bumper from scratches when driving on curbs.

Interior

The dashboard is the first thing you notice in the 2013 Subaru Outback. Unlike the previous modification, a color monitor is installed here, which displays the indicators of the economizer and cruise control. The image from the rear view camera is also displayed here, which greatly simplifies parking. Finishing materials in the interior have become less easily soiled and of better quality. There are many buttons on the steering wheel for controlling car systems. However, in city traffic and frequent turns of the steering wheel, they interfere a little. The electronic parking brake control button has been moved to the gearbox. An interesting innovation in the model was that the system automatically removes it from the handbrake when the engine is on and the gas pedal is pressed. The new Subaru Outback is quite roomy. Rear passengers have enough space to feel comfortable even on long journeys. They even have a separate armrest.

Riding

All the bumps in the road model, as before, overcomes smoothly. Thanks to good noise isolation inside the new Subaru Outback, extraneous sounds are practically inaudible. When driving on the highway, the car behaves perfectly even at high engine speeds. At the same time, the car enters the turns clearly, without allowing any rolls. In conditionsoff-road, the permanent all-wheel drive system deserves special praise. All this together brings great driving pleasure to both passengers and the driver.

Conclusions

The latest version of the Subaru Outback remains as attractive on the outside and comfortable on the inside as the previous modification. The model is perfect for the role of a family car. Speaking about its advantages, one cannot fail to note fuel consumption, which is an average of 12.5 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, and less than 8 liters on the highway. Of course, there are also shortcomings that I would like to remove. On the other hand, they are not so significant as to spoil the impression of a car that can safely be called comfortable, safe, large and economical.
