Savour the journey. The 2019 Subaru Outback is the mid-size SUV alternative designed to help you get more enjoyment out of life’s authentic adventures, both big and small. The Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD system is complemented by X-MODE, generous ground clearance and a long-travel suspension system for rugged capability over the toughest terrain. The Outback also features impressive refinement on the inside, incredible utility, generous passenger space and dynamite infotainment systems to make even the most adventurous drive feel unexpectedly civilized. Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame The Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame strengthens the passenger cabin from the roof to the doors, pillars and floor. This design helps to divert and dissipate impact energy away from the occupants in a collision. It also contributes to strengthening and lightening the chassis, leading to greater, reinforced protection. Seats, Seatbelts and Airbags The Outback features front airbags, front-side airbags, side-curtain airbags and front-seat cushion airbags. Height adjustable front seatbelts feature pretensioners to hold passengers firmly in place and load limiters that ease peak forces to the chest. EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology Subaru’s award-winning technology utilizes two cameras mounted over the rearview mirror to detect objects on the road ahead and monitor driver actions. In potentially hazardous situations, the system initiates measures to reduce the severity of a collision or avoid it entirely, helping ensure passenger safety. Four distinct features are informed by the EyeSight® system including Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-collision Braking, Pre-collision Throttle Management, and Lane Departure and Sway Warning with Lane Keep Assist. Luggage-and-Seat Configurations With so much space and flexibility, you can really think big: 1,005 litres of cargo capacity (2,075 litres with seats folded) and a flat load floor create incredible cargo capacity. You can change the seating configuration in an instant, thanks to the 60/40-split flat-folding rear seats that allow you to haul passengers and large items. Roof Rails with Swing-in-Place Crossbars Sturdy roof rails make hauling extra items a snap. You’ll find the Outback has a lot of ways to get the job done.
