Already naturally smooth and strong, the Outback’s 2.5-litre DOHC
engine is powerful and fuel-efficient. Its mid- to low-range torque
offers power when you need it from a complete stop. You’ll find that it’s
responsive around town and satisfying on the highway, thanks to 174 lb-ft
of torque. And with the Lineartronic® CVT, its power and efficiency are
continuously maximized. Not only is it the largest, most refined SUBARU BOXER® engine
available, but the 3.6-litre engine also offers smooth power delivery,
a quiet ride, low emissions and commendable fuel economy. Light,
compact and perfectly balanced by design, it features the Dual Active
Valve Control System for impressive torque when you need to pass
another car or start from a stop at a red light or stop sign. And to help
ensure your Outback gets optimal fuel economy at every speed, the
3.6-litre engine has been paired with the smooth and efficient high-
torque Lineartronic® CVT.

Drivetrain
Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
Helping you get the most out of your SUBARU BOXER® engine
and Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD, the latest-generation
Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) keeps
the engine in its ideal power range for the best possible fuel
economy. The Lineartronic® in the 3.6R is engineered to handle
the higher torque output and offers a smoother, quieter ride as
it reduces mechanical noise during operation. By automatically
selecting the optimal gear ratio, adaptive control adjusts to fit
your driving style and road conditions while ensuring maximum
drivability and efficiency from the 2.5i and 3.6R engines at
all times.
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.
