More importantly, the new Outback has hig her ground clearance – higher than many SUVs – with which to clear minor obstacles in your path. The 2010 lineup begins with the Subaru Outback PZEV, a well-appointed vehicle that delivers all the traditional qualities for which Subaru has become famous, along with a healthy dose of eco-friendliness. The PZEV utilizes a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER engine (170 hp; 170 lb-ft of torque) equipped with special smog-fighting technology that makes it one of the cleanest-burning gasoline-powered vehicles on the road today. Not only does the Outback PZEV refuse to compromise on power and performance, it boasts the same size, comfort and versatility as all other Outback models. There’s no loss of luggage space, no complicated technology involved and the PZEV runs on regular unleaded fuel – simple! Every model is equipped with a wealth of standard equipment including: Vehicle Dynamics Control, Traction Control, 4-wheel ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution and Brake Assist and, of course, Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive. All combined, these systems give the Subaru Outback go-anywhere traction, and all-weather control and safety. Not all features listed are available on all models. 6|
