Viscous Centre Differential AWD
Paddle Shifters
Paddle shifters are mounted on the
steering wheel for fingertip control,
giving you the power to select the
gear ratio of the Lineartronic® CVT
that best suits your driving situation.
The result is a sharper and sportier
driving experience.
For maximum control and sporty satisfaction,
a slick-shifting 6-speed manual transmission
is standard on Outback 2.5i and 2.5i Touring
Package models. It’s paired with an AWD
system, utilizing a centre differential with
viscous LSD (Limited Slip Differential). If
wheel speed differs between the front
and rear axles, the system helps distribute
power to the wheels with the most traction.
The 6-speed offers smoother, more precise
shifting, along with a compact size and light
weight that add to Outback’s sporty feel.
