2010 Subaru Outback 2.5i photos
Subaru's Outback got a little taller for the 2010 model year, and added a couple of good tech features. But it is still behind the car tech curve.
Subaru's Outback has proven very popular for people who live in areas that get snow, due to its standard all-wheel-drive. Subaru updated the car for 2010, changing the look a little and adding a few tech items to the car.
The Outback has grown from the time when it used to be a variant of the Legacy sedan. For the 2010 model year, it gained about 4 inches in height over the previous generation.
The Outback is available with this 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, or a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine. Making 170 horsepower, the four-cylinder engine feels a little weak in the Outback.
With its tall roof, the Outback easily seats five.
Subaru's all-wheel-drive system comes standard on the Outback, and works well for slippery conditions.
The Outback has 8.7 inches of ground clearance. The differentials have been placed high up in the frame to allow this clearance.
Environmentalists will appreciate the Outback's Partial Zero Emission Vehicle rating, which means its smog-causing exhaust is minimal. However, carbon dioxide emissions are not calculated into the PZEV rating.
Many people appreciate the practicality of the Outback, with its off-road capabilities and interior utility.
The cabin isn't particularly luxurious, with materials befitting an economy car.
The steering wheel has nicely embedded buttons for cruise and audio control, plus buttons for the new Bluetooth phone system.
A six-speed manual transmission is available in the Outback--not something you often find in an SUV.
The new Bluetooth hands-free phone system has minimal features, with a phone book that must be populated manually.
The stereo is limited in the Outback, only offering broadcast radio, MP3-compatible CD, and an auxiliary input. There are some dealer accessory options available as well.
The Harmon Kardon audio option, which includes a 440-watt amp and nine speakers, produces good quality sound.
