Subaru of Keene

"The 2010 Subaru Outback offers a unique combination of comfort, efficiency, versatility and value. It boasts car-like refinement, drivability and gas mileage on the road, yet is as capable in the rough stuff as all but the most off-road focused sport utilities. Thoughtfully engineered, cleverly detailed and competitively priced, the Subaru Outback is a terrific all-rounder with broad appeal.

"Outback has helped transition Subaru from a cult favorite to a quasi-mainstream player. Outback's "right-sizing" changes to create a package that's smoother, quieter, better controlled, and more comfortable than ever. Bolder character, enhanced functionality, and improved performance." Motor Trend

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

"If you're looking for an economical wagon with an emphasis on safety, features, fuel-economy and true off-road capability, the Outback is pretty much your best bet. New from the ground up, the fifth-generation Outback remains true to the original concept yet achieves major improvements in the areas of interior room, fuel economy and flexibility. As with all Subarus, the Outback comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a proven system that allows this rugged wagon to conquer the toughest terrain and deepest snow." Kelly Blue Book

"For our money, we'll take the versatility and go-anywhere toughness of the Outback. Subaru took what was already a good car and improved it without diluting or deleting any of its previous capabilities-and we'd bet that was far harder to do than it looked." Car and Driver

LIVE BIGGER, THERE'S ROOM

MORE INTERIOR SPACE
Not only is there more headroom in the front and back, but the driver and front passenger will enjoy a sizable increase in hip room, and rear occupants will have nearly four inches more legroom. With the reclining rear seats, new in the 2010 Outback, all you have to do is pull a lever, lean the rear seat back, and enjoy the ride.

INTERIOR COMFORT
With a refined interior and wide list of amenities, it's no wonder the Outback is popular inside and out. Settle into the available 8-way power driver's seat. Hear symphonic sounds you never heard before with the available 440-watt Harman Kardon premium audio.

PERFECT SIZE
"The 2010 Subaru Outback is the perfect anti-SUV. No larger than most mid-size cars, the all-wheel-drive Outback has become one of the best selling wagons in America; it is also a favorite of those needing the off-road capabilities of a large SUV, but not the accompanying lofty fuel bills and hard-to-park mass." Kelly Blue Book

"Unless you belong in the WWE or you're an NBA draft prospect from China, sit in the back of the Outback and your legs will not touch the front seats." AutoBlog

"During our test drive, we comfortably fit three six-foot-tall adults in the back seat and still had space between their knees and the front seat backs." Kelly Blue Book

"The seats are comfortable, with great thigh support front and rear. This is a very good cruiser, and it swallowed mile after mile of highway with ease." Car and Driver

WITH SUBARU, SAFETY IS NOT AN OPTION

IIHS Top Safety Pick

Keeping the passenger area intact in the event of an impact is the highest of all safety priorities. Subaru builds each of its vehicles with a Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame with nearly 40% constructed of high-tensile steel. This frame is designed and fortified to withstand tremendous force in order to maintain structural integrity during a collision and help shield occupants from the worst of the impact. What's more, its unique design diverts that dangerous impact energy away from occupants to further protect them in a collision.

We want you to feel surrounded by protection. To help keep you safe the instant an accident is detected, an array of sensors can deploy any one or more of the six airbags to provide all-over protection for the driver, front passenger and outboard rear passengers.

Over the last few years, we've collected numerous Top Safety Pick awards from the IIHS8, and every Subaru vehicle, including the 2010 Subaru Outback, has received a 5-star rating for front, side, and rear impacts from NHTSA5. When you're as committed to protection as we are, it shows.

BETTER GRIP TO BETTER PERFORM

Look at the beauty of this linear design. Every Subaru is built for AWD from the ground up. Each one features a longitudinally mounted Boxer engine that feeds power to the all-wheel drive system in a straight line. This results in a balanced drive-train with almost total side-to-side symmetry that is free of extra components some other systems need to route power. Symmetrical all-wheel drive. It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

You've got 4 wheels. Use them.

Symmetry creates balance. Balance creates control.

Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive delivers:

• Greater TRACTION
• More CONTROL
• Better BALANCE
• Outstanding SAFETY
• Quicker RESPONSE
• EFFICIENT Design
• Enhanced PERFORMANCE
• A gift from NATURE

Better Traction = Better Handling

Subaru has the most fuel efficient All-Wheel-Drive vehicles on the road today. Accept no imitations.

THE SUBARU WORLD IS FLAT

Notice how horizontal (flat) the Subaru Boxer engine is.The pistons move in 180-degree opposition to each other (like punching boxers) on a horizontal plane, so each naturally cancels out the vibration of the piston opposite it. An engine subjected to less vibration lasts longer. No wonder 94% of Subarus built in the last 10 years are still on the road today!

This unique design gives you the advantage of a lower center of gravity, better visibility over the hood and greater performance and safety. It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

LINEARTRONIC CVT
Smoother performance. Greater efficiency. You can have both with Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). This innovative transmission technology, now available on the all-new 2010 Outback and Legacy.

Automatic Mode

Lineartronic CVT delivers 29 MPG on the highway. Leave it in the Automatic mode, and the gearless transmission infinitely adjusts to match your acceleration needs -- thereby eliminating the need to shift, which preserves the vehicle's momentum that can be lost when a conventional automatic transmission shifts gears. Also, Lineartronic CVT uses a step-less gear ratio, which allows your engine to run in its optimal power range for improved fuel economy and performance. (Watch video on left.)

6-Speed Manual Mode

For a more engaged driving experience, Lineartronic CVT comes standard with the 6-speed manual mode complete with paddle shifters mounted right at your fingertips. This system simulates the feeling of a 6-speed manual transmission by allowing you to manually select the gearing ratio that best fits your driving situation. It comes in handy for confidently merging onto the highway, passing other cars, or descending hills, as well as making the driving experience feel sharper and sportier.

Also available in 6 speed manual transmission.
