Subaru Outback XT model details
Subaru Outback XT – I have just got back from the launch of the Subaru Outback XT. This is the turbocharged version of the popular SUV wagon and it’s a beauty.
With a 2.4L turbocharged boxer engine the XT has outputs of 183kW of power and 350Nm of torque. The key here is delivery. The maximum torque comes in around 2,000rpm which helps for towing as well as relaxed cruising.
Driving the XT through the picturesque Megalong Valley and the Blue Mountains, you can really notice the improved performance. Ride and handling have always been an Outback feature but there is a new level of responsiveness that is appreciated.
Towing is rated at 2400kg which is amongst the best in class. This enhances the XT adventurous appeal with the ability to easily tow smaller camper trailers, hybrid vans and jet skis.
The Subaru Outback is the thinking persons SUV. It has class leading AWD capability, 213mm ground clearance, permanent symmetrical AWD and advanced X-Mode assistance. Add to that class leading Eye Sight safety features and its easy to see why they are so popular.
Pricing is excellent with the top model coming under $56,000 plus the usual costs.
This is a Motoring Minute
