Its world debut having taken place just a year ago, Subaru South Africa officially confirmed the all-new seventh generation Outback for the local market back in April.
Making the transition from off-road inspired estate to crossover SUV, the Outback becomes a model of itself for the first time as previous iterations were spun-off from the Legacy platform despite Subaru having marketed both names independently since 2009.
Fundamentals
Utilising a completely new design, while also moving to the revised Global Platform shared with the latest generation Forester, the Outback offers up 220 mm of ground clearance and according to Subaru, between 530 and 1 211-litres of boot space.
Dimensionally, the Outback has the following dimensions:
- Length: 4 880 mm;
- Wheelbase: 2 745 mm;
- Height: 1 715 mm;
- Width: 1 880 mm
Able to tow 2 000 kg, the more off-road biased Wilderness increases ground clearance to 240 mm, but with a reduced two rating of 1 500 kg.
