Outbacks through the years:
Originallyintroduced in 1995, the first Outback was basically just a Legacy wagonwith two tone paint and a little cosmetic differentiation.聽 In 1996, Subaru produced the Outback that you would recognize today, with aggressive cladding, raised suspension, and bigger engine.聽 1997 saw thefirst Outback Sedan, a vehicle unlike anything sold at the time.聽 It was available all the way through 2007.聽聽聽
聽 聽2020+Youwould hardly know if from the sheetmetal, which bears similarities to the previous generation, but nearly every part on the car changed, including the chassis or "frame." Built on Subaru's Global Platform thatnow underpins most of its vehicles, this latest generation is much morecrash-absortive and it rides like it's hewn from a single hunk of very strong metal. Infotainment screen goes big time and new features, such as Driver Focus, abound.聽 2015 through 2019Thisgeneration grew in every dimension, and the upscale interior abounds with technology and infotainment functions.聽 Airbag count rises to eightwith the addition of seat cushion airbags that deploy from the flat part of the seat to hold front occupants in place during an accident.
聽 2010 through 2014Saleswent through the roof with the introduction of a larger Outback, close in size to traditional sport utility vehicles but a heckuva lot more economical and responsible.聽 Continuously variable transmission debuts and causes steroidal fuel economy gains.聽 Eyesight appears in 2013.聽2005 through 2009
In2005, we welcomed a quieter, more upscale Outback, even though the sizeremained pretty much the same.聽 Six airbags were standard.聽 Subaru offered a turbocharged XT model on this generation.聽
2000 through 2004Thisgeneration ironed out the wrinkles in the previous version, especially in the interior, formerly an expanse of hard plastic and curious ergonomics.聽 Hood scoop from the Techno-Brutal era of Japanese auto styling goes away and no one misses it.聽 First optional six cylinder arrived in 2001, along with Vehicle Dynamics Control.
1995 through 1999
Arguably, Subaru createdthe "crossover" segment by building a car with the sport utility capabilities of a truck.聽 No wonder that "Subaru" comes quickly to mind when people think rugged, practical, and economical.聽 This was a functional car, but not a pretty one.聽 Dual sunroof model, also known asthe "Double Bubble," appears in 1998.聽
