Hello, my name is Louis Vo.
And I'm Aaron Matos.
We are both members of the Subaru Product Training team
and in this video, we'll be taking a look
at the sixth generation Subaru Outback.
The showroom overview is designed to provide information
to prospective customers
as well as those taking delivery of their new vehicle.
While all the content of this video
may not be specific to your trim.
We provide an overview of some general specifications
and features to help you get acquainted
with the Subaru Outback.
The Outback has carved out a niche as a uniquely
adventurous utility vehicle with a genuine
go anywhere capability.
This is the Subaru Outback.
The six generation Outback is available in seven trim levels
for Canada, including Convenience, Touring, Outdoor XT,
Limited, Limited XT, Premier and Premier XT.
In this video, we will take a closer look
at the Outback Limited.
The Outback is offered with two engine options.
The Convenience, Touring, Limited and Premier are equipped
with a responsive, yet fuel efficient, 2.5 liter
4 cylinder BOXER engine
that delivers 182 horsepower
and 176 pound-feet of torque.
For those who want more power
the available 2.4 liter turbocharged engine, exclusively
on the Outdoor XT, Limited XT and Premiere XT,
delivers 260 horsepower
and 277 pounds-feet at torque.
Both of these engines are capable
of running on 87 octane gasoline.
The Outback, with the 2.5 liter engine, is capable
of towing 1,225 kilograms.
While the XT trims, with the turbocharge 2.4 liter engine,
can tow 1,588 kilograms.
Outback trims with the 2.5 liter engine
are equiped with a lineartronic
Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission.
While turbocharged XT trims come
with a high-torque lineartronic
Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission.
All trims offer great capability out of the box
with generous ground clearance
and Symmetrical Full-time All-Wheel Drive.
X-MODE is standard on Convenience,
Touring, Limited and Premier trims.
While the Outdoor XT features dual-function X-MODE.
X-MODE with hill descent control provides advanced
all-road capability and rugged performance
and elevates driving confidence,
especially on uneven surfaces
or challenging inclines.
X-MODE compliments Subaru's Symmetrical full-time
All-Wheel Drive to allow drivers
to take the road less traveled,
get muddier and have more daring adventures.
Dual-function X-MODE allows the driver to select
between two different settings
tailored to specific driving conditions,
namely snow and dirt or deep snow and mud.
The Outback also features EyeSight.
Subaru's active driver assist system.
We will dive more into this later
but first let's take a walk around of the exterior.
The overall stance of the Outback is wider
and more planted than past generations.
While improved aerodynamics
help to improve efficiency and stability.
Rugged exterior cladding
emphasizes the off-road capabilities
while being both bold and purposeful.
The Outback features roof rails with integrated crossbars
and tie-down holes adding versatility for cargo boxes,
bike holders, or any equipment
you need to bring on your next adventure.

to your home.

shine through in the aggressive front facia,
