Find out more about the Subaru Outback
The sixth-generation Subaru Outback is now available to order with prices from £33,995 – pitched against other rugged estate vehicles like the Volkswagen Passat Alltrack and Volvo V60 Cross Country.
Buyers get the choice of three Outback models: Limited, Field and Touring. Full UK specifications are yet to be confirmed, but all trim levels will come with a plethora of safety kit including a driver monitoring system with a facial recognition camera which can adjust things like the driver's seat position and soon as you get into the car.
Built on Subaru's SGP platform, the new Outback is powered exclusively by a revised version of the brand's flat-four petrol engine paired with a CVT automatic transmission. The displacement of the new unit has been increased from 2.4-litres to 2.5-litres.
Four-wheel drive is standard, with Subaru promising genuine off-road capability from the Outback. It has a high 213mm ground clearance as well as a 2000kg braked towing capacity.
