Sadly the reviewer,as is the case in Australia is "bland".I have been a Subaru owner since2003 with an Outback H6,200K KMs without any problem and since 2016 an Outback 2.5 Premium.These cars have an overall subtle ability to provide safe and economical travel for years.Both my vehicles have run off 1600KMs on trips in two days with sure footedness,no matter what the weather,quite cabin,due to a change of tyres,the H6 with Michelins and the 2015 with Geolanders,soon to be replaced with Michelins.My spanner man recommends 40 PSI in the front and 35 in the rear.I have safely had 60K KMS from the tyres.As to the CVT, it is an aquired taste but once mastered, it is a smooth efficent system.In cruise control the only gripe is that it increases revs on inclines which if you aren't using this, the revs are lower but same speed achieved.Given the upgraded package,especially the Napa Valley leather it provides a super car,which I agree it's an aquired taste,much like anything in this life.Live with it and adjust you won't be dissapointed. The Outback’s elevated driving position and large expanse of glass ensure excellent visibility, although the raised ride height and generous ground clearance do contribute to a fair amount of wind buffeting and noise when you’re pushing on. It’s smooth in its action, but the inherent properties of its operation makes the engine pull unnecessarily high revs in certain driving conditions – and with them quite a lot of engine noise at typical motorway cruising speeds. The CVT is set up to mimic the action of a conventional torque- converter automatic, with eight artificial gears, and comes with steering wheel-mounted shift paddles. The new boxer engine is certainly responsive and quite willing when worked, although it lacks the overall smoothness and refinement of more conventional inline four-cylinder engines from competitor firms. It’s early days, but the Outback is already showing that Subaru deserves to be taken seriously once again.Our set test route wasn’t exactly demanding, but it did reveal the Outback to be a pleasingly competent alternative to the raft of SUV-style offerings that cram the market. Supremely confident in all weathers and on all roads, excellent level of standard equipment, large boot and spacious cabin.

While DAB isn’t included, Subaru’s Starlink set-up gives you access to a wide variety of Internet radio stations via your smartphone.Įlsewhere, the car impresses with its solid build quality, comfortable driving position, strong refinement and family friendly practicality, plus its all-wheel drive has proven invaluable in changeable winter weather.

Sat-nav and Bluetooth are standard, as is MirrorLink. At 100km/h the engine settled to just 1550rpm and was drinking a little over 6L/100km. Most impressive was its frugalness when highway cruising. Miguel also ran us through the infotainment system, which is controlled via a seven-inch touchscreen and features crisp graphics and a logical layout. Our test including a lengthy off-road segment returned a solid 8.2L/100km using regular 91 unleaded not far off the claimed 7.3L/100km. Other highlights include the Eyesight system, which uses a pair of cameras on either side of the rear view mirror to deliver adaptive cruise control and lane departure warnings.
The boxer is hooked up to a Lineartronic CVT gearbox, and as with all Subarus, power is delivered through the brand’s trademark symmetrical four-wheel-drive transmission. Be that.

No other manufacturer in the world offers this type of diesel, so it made sense to see how it stacks up against more conventional rivals. Its a willing motor and the CVT does its best to utilize every horse available, but it never feels as energetic as its output suggests. There was an engine choice, though, with either a 2.5-litre flat-four petrol or a similarly laid-out 2.0-litre diesel.
