As reported by Subaru
TORONTO, - The current generation of Subaru Outback was an instant hit with both consumers and critics, winning a diverse range of accolades including Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, Best New Wagon and Best-in-Class honours from Kiplinger's Personal Finance, a Best Retained Value award from Canadian Black Book in the mid-size category, and the Interior of the Year award (popular-priced car under $29K) from Ward's Automotive Group.
For 2011, Outback gains a few thoughtful enhancements to an already lengthy list of standard and optional features:
- Folding side view mirrors are now standard equipment on every Outback
sold in Canada.
- The new entry level model for 2011 is the 2.5i Convenience, which now
includes a voice-activated Bluetooth system for handsfree cell phone
connectivity. PZEV emissions technology is available as a separate
option.
- The 2.5i Sport Package now also includes a silver-coloured front
bumper under-guard.
For 2011, Outback is offered in two models: 2.5i and 3.6R. The 170-horsepower Outback 2.5i may be equipped with either 6-speed Manual Transmission (6MT) or optional Lineartronic(TM) CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with paddle shift controls. The 6-cylinder 256-horsepower Outback 3.6R is outfitted with a 5-speed Electronic Direct Control Automatic Transmission with Manual Mode (5EAT), blipping control and paddle shift controls.
Confident All-Weather Performance, On- and Off-Road
All Outback models are also equipped with Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), which combines stability and traction control capability. Every Outback is also equipped with a standard 4-wheel/4-channel/4-sensor disc Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and the Brake Assist safety system.
