TRIBECA

THE UNEXPECTED
SUBARU TRIBECA
A TRULY PROGRESSIVE AND LUXURIOUS SUV.

Plenty of people were surprised when the Subaru Tribeca came
along. After all, this was the first mid-size SUV in the company’s
history – it was also the most luxurious vehicle in the model
range. But the surprise soon turned to delight as consumers
realized that the Tribeca offered a bit more space, a lot more
versatility and a whole lot of value.
For 2010, the award-winning Subaru Tribeca is even more
desirable with loads of standard features and convenient
7-passenger seating for all models. Powered by the largest
engine in the Subaru fleet, the 3.6-litre 6-cylinder SUBARU
BOXER, the Tribeca offers robust acceleration and healthy fuel
efficiency – all using regular unleaded fuel.
The Subaru of SUVs is, of course, renowned for its superior
all-weather/all-road handling, courtesy of Subaru symmetrical
full-time AWD, and a surprisingly low centre of gravity due to
the low positioning of the engine in the chassis. These factors
give the Tribeca the refined driving dynamics and comfort level
of a sedan – and the ability to leave the competition in the dust
when it comes to challenging driving conditions.
Here’s another way the Subaru Tribeca stands apart from the
crowd: unmatched versatility. The interior offers 64 different
seating configurations and a total of 2106 L of cargo space
with the second- and third-row seats folded flat. The roof rails
allow for even more cargo to go along for the ride and a towing

capacity of up to 1591 kg is perfect for facilitating weekend
getaways to the cottage.
But this leading sport utility vehicle has also become a
favourite because of its luxurious interior, highly desirable
technology and great value. Standard equipment on the
2010 model includes a power moonroof, rear-view camera,
dual-zone climate control with rear-seat cooling unit, and
satellite radio-ready AM/FM/6CD/MP3/WMA audio system
with six speakers.
There are two option packages available for the new Tribeca.
The Limited Package includes leather seating surfaces, a rear-seat
DVD entertainment system, a free 3-month trial subscription to
SIRIUS® Satellite Radio and a Harman Kardon® speaker system
with 385-watt amplifier. On the outside, exclusive 18-inch alloy
wheels, silver roof rails and a monotone colour scheme boost the
level of sophistication even further. The Premier Package includes
