2012 Subaru Outback in Sanford, ME - $0

The fifth generation Subaru Outback, the World’s First Sport-Utility Wagon®, continues as a segment leader after more than 20 years. Offering consumers raised ground clearance, the roomy Outback is available in 2.5i, Premium and Limited trim levels. New for 2017 is Outback Touring, available in both 2.5i and 3.6R models, becoming top trim line and features a comprehensive upgrade over the Limited trim.

Touring trim levels debut featuring a dark gray grille insert and 18-in. wheels with dark gray accents and machined finish. Low-profile roof rails in a silver finish along with lower cladding and Outback badging in chrome accentuate the unique styling of this model. Brilliant Brown Pearl is added to the exterior options while all Touring interiors feature a new Java Brown leather-trimmed upholstery, door panels and armrests with contrasting ivory stitching. Refinements including a unique woodgrain interior finish and piano- black switch panels accents complete the signature look. A heated steering wheel is also standard on Touring.

Also new for 2017, Limited and Touring add Reverse Automatic Braking, which detects object when operating in reverse and automatically triggers an alert and brakes the vehicle to avoid a collision and High Beam Assist as standard equipment.

Base power for the Outback is generated by a 2.5L four-cylinder Boxer engine. Torque is communicated to the wheels through a Lineartronic CVT automatic transmission with manual mode and paddle shifters. A robust 3.6L six-cylinder Boxer engine is also an available option for Limited and Touring trim levels. The six-cylinder is teamed to a high-torque Lineartronic CVT automatic transmission with manual mode and paddle shifters. Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard on all models.
