Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Control leads to confidence, and stability leads to an agility that
excites in the Outback. Subaru vehicles are gifted at inspiring
confidence behind the wheel, thanks to the inherently stable design
of the Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time All-Wheel Drive system paired
with the uniquely balanced SUBARU BOXER® engine. This system
delivers power to all four wheels for enhanced control on all roads
and in all weather conditions—whether they are poor or perfect. It
offers excellent side-to-side balance and handling precision, thanks
to its main components being aligned longitudinally, while its low
centre of gravity creates an especially engaging and responsive
drive. The unique advantages of Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD
make for exceptionally rewarding handling and empower you to
better avoid danger.

Cradle Mount System
You’ll enjoy more natural
handling and a quieter ride in
the Outback, thanks to its Cradle
Mount System. And in a collision,
it allows the engine to retract
under the cabin, lengthening the
front crumple zone.
Improved Front
Strut Suspension
Employing front struts and rear
shocks, the suspension has been
finely tuned for an enjoyable
balance between responsive
handling and a smooth,
comfortable ride.
