Then is it built better than the segment leaders when it comes to fit, finish or choice of materials. I'd say yes to this too,
for the most part. The Pacifica offers higher quality dash plastics, but the Tribeca delivers a finer grade of lower door plastic, so it's a moot point. The Pacifica, in Limited trim, looks a lot classier too, but some will be wooed by the Tribeca's spaceship inspired gadgetry. I also must say that leather is standard with the Pacifica, Freestyle, and some others when priced at more than $40,000, as are some other luxury features that are optional with the Tribeca. When fully loaded, Subaru's SUV hits $52,495, plus a fairly hefty $1,395 freight and pre-delivery inspection charge, for a total of $53,890. While a bit pricey, this isn't any more expensive than an equivalently equipped Pacifica and a heck of a lot less than the Volvo XC90[/link], for instance. I should also mention that the Tribeca allows a sizeable 8.4 inches of ground clearance for going off-road, something most of its competitors don't, and also for this purpose is equipped with the brand's symmetrical all-wheel drive system.
If you happen to get lost in the woods, or in the even more challenging suburbs, the Tribeca's navigation system is first rate. It's possible to split the screen in two, with a close up view for mapping out specific
