Compared to its predecessors, the dimensions have remained practically the same - length has grown by 15 mm, width by 18 mm, wheelbase by five, while ground clearance remains unchanged. At the same time, comfort indicators have been improved - rear passengers have more legroom, and the door sills have been modified for more convenient loading and unloading of passengers.
In addition, the trunk volume has been increased and buttons have been added to fold the rear seats.
The car's suspension has been retuned by company specialists, and the Outback also received a more responsive steering wheel. All-wheel drive is still available as standard.
Company representatives emphasized that the new generation of the all-road wagon has significantly improved visibility due to a change in the windshield angle, which has also been moved 5 cm further from the driver. The driver's seating height and mirror positioning have also changed. In terms of maneuvering safety, the introduction of the EyeSight system (blind spot monitoring, lane keeping, and smooth reverse assist) can be noted.
The engine lineup will consist of a 2.5-liter engine with 177 hp and a 3.6-liter engine with 260 horsepower. Both engines come with the Lineartronic CVT.
In the States, the new model will go on sale this summer; nothing is known yet about sales in Europe, let alone Ukraine.
Recall that earlier in New York, the World Car of the Year was chosen.
