PREVIEW

The Subaru B9 Tribeca could not be a Subaru without truly
exceptional occupant safety protection equipment, including front
“smart” airbags and side-impact airbags for both driver and frontseat passenger and side curtain airbags for the first and second
rows of seating. The body features front and rear crumple zones as
well as a ring-shaped reinforcement frame that combine to provide
360 degrees of protection.
Ride with comfort
The Subaru B9 Tribeca is as versatile as it is bold. Both five- and
seven-passenger models feature 40/20/40-split, flat-folding
second-row seats that are capable of 200 mm (nearly 8”) of travel,
giving either limousine-style rear legroom or extra room in the back.
Models featuring the optional 50/50-split, flat-folding third-row seats
add even more versatility, as both second- and third- row seats can
be used or folded flat to provide an expansive cargo area.
The Subaru B9 Tribeca also boasts all the highly sought-after
features expected of a true luxury vehicle. Electroluminescent
gauges, a HomeLink® universal wireless control system, heated
front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and luxurious
accent lighting are just a few of the perks. You can also upgrade
with great options such as a touch-screen navigation system, a
DVD entertainment system, leather upholstery and a 160-watt,
MP3-compatible, six-CD audio system.
With beautiful, expressive styling inside and out, a level of agile
performance unlike anything else in its class, the exceptional active
and passive safety only Subaru can provide and all the features
and versatility you want, the Subaru B9 Tribeca next-generation
Crossover Utility Vehicle is truly what the SUV aspires to be.
