This is the fourth generation of Subaru Outback, launched in 2009.
The exterior was improved, with the silhouette of the new Outback projecting a greater road presence.
The interior was also visibly improved, both front seats excel in comfort, and the incorporation of a new electronic parking brake creates more space for the center console.
The fourth-generation of the World’s First Sport Utility Wagon is a roomier and is distinguished by bolder and crisper styling. The all-new 2009 Subaru Outback delivers enhanced performance, comfort and economy with the introduction of an all-new chassis and the new Subaru Lineartronic™ CVT (continuously variable transmission).
The 2009 Outback is 2 inches wider to improve passenger comfort, has more headroom, and is more fuel efficient than the outgoing model.
The Subaru Outback also features a rear cargo area that is deeper and wider than in many small SUVs and easier to access through its wide aperture rear hatch.
All Subaru Outback models for 2010 are equipped as standard with Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), which combines stability and traction control capability.
Subaru is the only company that features Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard equipment on every vehicle in its product line.
