Subaru Outback 2.5i Touring AWD Five best features 2022

Subaru Outback Touring – In our ongoing discussions of the Subaru Outback Touring, this week we explore the five best features.

Firstly the constant AWD with Active Torque Split that distributes optimal torque to the front and rear wheels, depending on road surface and driving conditions. Combined with Dual-mode X-MODE and you have the best AWD system for its price on the market.

Second is the Latest generation EyeSight® Driver Assist system which brings class leading safety features such as Driver Monitoring System with Driver Focus, passenger seat cushion airbag,  Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB), EyeSight Assist Monitor and autonomous emergence steering.

Third is the class leading ground clearance of 213mm, towing capability of 2000kg and cavernous boot space.

Fourth is the new High Definition 11.6-inch head unit Centre Information Display – centralising and simplifying many controls, with vertical orientation and operation like a smartphone

Fifth is the outstanding value for money. The top specification Touring can be bought for just $48,990 plus the usual costs and there is absolutely nothing that comes close to the bang for your buck to that pricing.
