Subaru introduces all-new Outback

Plaza Auto Mega, Subaru's distributor in Indonesia, has launched the all-new Outback, which adopts a dedicated SUV platform in place of the previous sedan-based architecture while retaining Subaru's focus on comfort and safety.

Originally introduced in the United States during the 1990s, the new Outback features a more upright, boxier design. Compared with its predecessor, it is 1 cm longer, 0.5 cm wider and 4 cm taller, increasing cabin space and improving visibility. Ground clearance has increased by 7 mm to 220 mm, while the ladder-type roof rails support moving loads of up to 100 kg and static loads of up to 363 kg for accessories such as roof tents.

Subaru Product Consultant Victor Kirana said the vehicle's development philosophy is that "every road feels like home". Power is provided by a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder Boxer engine paired with an eight-speed CVT featuring a manual mode. The Outback retains Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system and is built on the Subaru Global Platform, which increases chassis rigidity by 70% and reduces body roll by up to 50%.
