2018 Subaru Outback/Legacy Manual
A compelling alternative to taller SUVs, the 2018 Subaru Outback is an excellent five-passenger wagon. Outback offers comfortable and roomy seats, class-leading cargo capacity, and standard all-wheel drive. Subaru has made several exterior and interior styling updates in the 2018 Outback. Also, you will find support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for iOS.
The 2018 Subaru Outback is equipped with a standard 2.5 liter (inline 4) engine. It delivers 175 hp and 174 nm torque. EPA estimates are around 25 and 32 mpg on city and highway. This engine is good for daily commuting but can get strained when the Outback is loaded with people and cargo. To overcome the same, an available 3.6 liter, six cylinder engine comes to use. It provides enough power to return 256 hp. You can team the engines with continuously variable automatic (CVT).
A functional and cleanly designed interior is a significant attribute of the 2018 Subaru Outback. All the primary controls of the Outback are placed in their traditional positions. You will find several soft-touch surfaces at various places, and climate and audio controls are ergonomically excellent. Front seats are comfortable and loaded with space. They display great views that are very useful for the driver. Even the backseats enjoy loads of space; there are 38.1 inches of legroom in the back, to be precise.
2018 Subaru Outback Manual Features & Reviews
In addition to this lineup is a laminated and sound deadening side glass that helps to cancel road and wind noise. When you raise the tailgate, it gives you 35.5 cubic feet of cargo space. However, it increases to 73 cubic feet when you fold the 60/40-split backseats. The 2018 Subaru Outback has undergone some styling updates and features a new grille and bumpers. Subaru Outback offers six distinct trim levels. Starting from entry-level trims 2.5i, 2.5i Premium, 2.5i Limited, and 2.5i Touring to leaders 3.6R Limited and 3.6R Touring.
The base 2.5i features hill descent control, automatic headlights, hill descent assist, air conditioning, roof rails, tilt/telescoping steering column, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Technological advancements for the base 2.5i include Android Auto smartphone integration, Apple CarPlay, Starlink 6.5-inch touchscreen, and a CD player.
According to reviewers, 2.5i Premium is the best-recommended trim level. It comes with notable upgrades like heated front seats, an 8″ touchscreen, HD radio, satellite radio, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. Base engine labor to accelerate when the car is full, and its higher price than other smaller vehicles are some major setbacks of the 2018 Subaru Outback.
