2017 Subaru

Subaru has
expanded the Outback and Legacy range with the addition of two new trim levels,
Touring and Sport.
Outback
Touring models are set apart with a dark gray grille and similarly finished
18-inch wheels, low-profile roof rails and chrome badging, joined by a new
color option called Brilliant Brown.
The interior
features Java Brown leather with ivory stitching, woodgrain finish and
piano-black switch panel accents, along with standard items such as heated
steering wheel and 7.0-inch Starlink Multimedia Navigation with voice control.
The new
Outback range-topper is powered by either a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine,
with 175 HP, or a 3.6-liter six-cylinder, producing 256 HP.
Debuting on
the 2017 Outback model line is the Reverse Automatic Braking, which uses four
ultrasonic sonar sensors located in the rear bumper cover, while the brand's
EyeSight Driver Assist tech with Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert are offered at no extra cost, paired with the High Beam Assist.
The 2017
Subaru Legacy Sport features gloss black housings for the front fog lights,
dark gray grille, new 18-inch wheels and chrome rocker trim, joined by two-tone
gray and black cloth upholstery inside with exclusive blue stitching on the
seats, steering wheel and door panels and piano black accents.
Subaru's
Starlink infotainment system, with a 7.0-inch LCD screen, is offered at no
extra cost, while the Reverse Autoamtic Braking and High Beam Assist are part
of the optional EyeSight Driver Assist tech.
Power comes
from a 2.5-liter boxer engine, rated at 175 HP and paired in standard with the
Lineatronic CVT with manual mode and paddle shifters, returning an
EPA-estimated 29 mpg (8.11 lt/100 km) combined.
