Subaru was having slightly of trouble moving Legacy wagons in the mid-90s, so it lifted the ride height and additional a little body cladding. The Outback was born and since then it’s gone to put back the entire Legacy wagon line in the U.S. Since Subaru used the New York Auto Show to first performance the production edition of the new Legacy sedan, then it’s no revelation the Outback was right there too.
The engine series is straight out of the new Legacy. There is an option of the 170 hp 2.5-liter boxer four or the 256 hp 3.6-liter boxer six. The new outback is wider, longer and taller than its forerunner, and offers the similar characteristic “cat eye” look of the Legacy sedan.
