The less expensive Outback H6-3.0 gets the all-wheel driving system currently used in every other Subaru vehicle with an automatic transmission, in which an electronically-controlled hydraulic transfer clutch directs power to the wheels that need it even before slippage occurs.
Standard equipment on every H6-3.0 model includes dual power moonroofs, automatic climate control with ambient temperature gauge, an eight-way power driver's seat, full leather interior, remote keyless entry, dual mode heated front seats, rear seat center armrest, and a distinctive mahogany wood and leather steering wheel designed by Momo.
The Outback H6-3.0 VDC also introduces a premium automotive sound system from McIntosh Audio.
The Outback H6-3.0 VDC system adds another level of driving control - an all-wheel, all-speed Traction Control System, which should stop wheel spin on a slippery surface without the need for a limited slip differential even if three wheels are slipping on ice or snow.

"The one thing drivers and journalists told us we needed to make the package even better was more power."
