Australian specs and pricing have been announced for the new 2021 Subaru Outback ahead of a showroom arrival in March.
At launch, Subaru will offer three trim levels priced between $39,990 and $47,790 plus on-road costs.
Every Outback will be powered by a 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder Boxer engine which Subaru claims is 90 per cent new. It develops 138kW of power and 245Nm of torque, up from 129kW and 235Nm offered by the outgoing model.
A retuned CVT equipped with an eight-speed manual mode sends power to the brand’s all-wheel drive system.
The new Outback measures in at 4870mm long, 1875mm wide and 1675mm tall including the roof rails. It rides on a 2745mm wheelbase.
Braked towing capacity has been increased from 1500kg to 2000kg.
