Specification is enhanced in every Outback, yet pricing reduces by up to 4.3 per cent on some models, with the 3.0R rising just 1.07 per cent - making Australia’s original cross-over vehicle a must-see on the list of prospective wagon buyers.

True to its recreational roots, Outback gets a reversible, washable cargo floor, while interiors are enhanced across the range, including telescopic steering wheels and six-stack in-dash CD players.

The innovative Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) system on 3.0 litre Outbacks offers optimum power delivery and drivability across the operating range.

Every Outback again shares the same outstanding five star Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) crashworthiness rating, for occupant safety.

Other Outback developments for 2007 include:

• HID self-levelling high and low-beam Bi-Xenon headlights on 3.0 litre Outbacks
• Telescopic steering wheels for every Outback
• Power driver’s seat with dual memory function and dual zone air conditioning with rear air vents for 3.0R variants
• Steering column Sportshift paddle controls on automatic 3.0 litre versions, plus audio, cruise, Information and SI-Drive controls
• 17-inch alloy wheels for all Outbacks
• Brake Assist for all Outback variants
• Washable reversible cargo floor
• Exterior and Interior refinements across the range

Nick Senior, Managing Director, Subaru Australia, said: “We have a fantastic specification and pricing story to tell with 2007 Outback.

“Pricing across the range represents tremendous value, making Outback a must-see alternative to competitor vehicles, several of which do not have the genuine All-Wheel Drive credentials and outstanding safety rating of our cars.

“And with increasing concern about running costs and petrol prices with heavy duty four wheel drives, Outback makes a great cost-effective alternative.

“Every Outback is keenly priced when you compare specification, engineering, safety and retained value with other brands.

“We encourage people to research these credentials independently as we can confidently say that this isn’t just Subaru talking.

“From ANCAP to the independent valuers, Outback stars time and time again when it’s put to the test and benchmarked in its class.

“This is a car with grade A qualifications in the key areas that our customers rightly research: safety, durability, value and rock-solid engineering.

“The engineers have done a fantastic job with SI-Drive and other aspects of 2007 Outback.

“It’s typical of the technical innovation and refinement that goes into every Subaru with the passing of each model year.”

Subaru Intelligent Drive

Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) is introduced on all 3.0 litre Outbacks, offering three different driving experiences in the same car.

Drivers have the option to refine performance to suit their preferences.

SI-Drive can optimize fuel efficiency and ride comfort in stop-start city traffic, produce a lively response in flowing freeway or town traffic, or a rapid sporty drive on the open road.

It features three modes, each of which is clearly displayed on the instrument panel:

Intelligent mode ensures gentle, smooth power output. It may contribute to greater economy in congested city driving at low to mid-speed, when teamed with a smooth driving style, or cruising on the freeway. Ideal for those searching for ride comfort and frugal fuel figures.

Sport mode optimizes performance on city and highway drives. Good for routine, day-to-day driving.

Sport # mode boosts engine revolutions for sharp, sporty driving (cannot be used while the engine is cold). Provides dynamic performance for true driving enthusiasts through highly responsive engine and throttle control.

SI-Drive regulates the engine and transmission control units, and fine-tunes the electronic throttle control.

The control button is installed on the centre console. By pushing the dial, Intelligent mode is set. Sport mode is activated by turning the dial left and Sport # mode by turning it right.

There is also a steering wheel button to activate Sport # mode.

The modes can be changed while the car is moving.

The instrument panel includes an SI-Drive Multi-Function Display (MFD).

This communicates vehicle behaviour in the different modes. It includes an Eco gauge and Shift-up indicator (manual-only).

The dial of the Eco gauge stays in the green zone when fuel consumption is low, for the benefit of economy-minded drivers. Higher fuel consumption is indicated by the dial heading into the yellow zone.

The MFD shows comprehensive information about the power characteristics of the chosen mode via a simplified torque curve.

Internal testing by Fuji Heavy Industries, the maker of Subaru vehicles, indicates a vehicle driven in the Intelligent mode can record up to 10 per cent more range.

Exterior

Subtle exterior refinements to Outback include re-profiled light clusters, grilles, bumpers, front guards, wing mirrors and new design alloy wheels.

State-of-the art High Intensity Discharge (HID) self-levelling headlights are introduced on all 3.0 litre Outbacks, featuring both high and low beam Bi-Xenon.

Every Outback model has distinctive 17-inch alloy wheel patterns.

Wing mirror design is refined to further reduce wind resistance and enhance visibility of the in-built indicator.

New colours to the range are:

• Newport blue pearl
• Satin white pearl
• Diamond grey metallic

Interior

Outback’s dashboard, centre console and steering wheel are revised to produce an integrated and wholly contemporary look.

Instrument clusters of 3.0 litre variants feature a vast array of information in the multi-function display, including SI-Drive visuals, odometer, time, range, outside temperature, fuel consumption and open door warnings.

Attention to detail includes speedometer increments changed from five to two kilometres, for easier visual recognition.

All Outbacks have steering wheel mounted cruise control buttons.

3.0 litre variants add steering wheel audio and SI-Drive Sport # mode controls, plus an “Information call-up” or I button. This can switch between six different information screens, using adjoining up or down arrow buttons to display:

• Odometer and trip meter
• Actual and average fuel consumption
• Outside temperature and continuous running time
• Drivable distance until refuel
• Current time (if vehicle is SatNav equipped)
• SI-Drive screen with graph

If a warning screen is displayed, drivers press the I button to identify the nature of the warning, such as door open or low temperature.

3.0 litre models also gain Sportshift steering column “paddles” plus illuminated centre console cup holders.

Outback 2.5i Premium and 3.0R models have tinted rear windows (side and back).

Telescopic steering wheels, with 40 millimetres of travel, are new to all Outbacks.

3.0 litre Outbacks add dual zone air conditioning, rear seat ventilation and a rear centre armrest with dual cup-holders.

Outback 2.5i Premium and 3.0R Premium also get a power driver’s seat with dual memory function.

The premium McIntosh audio system, which is an option together with satellite navigation in Outback 3.0R Premium, is further enhanced with the addition of a 70 mm dashboard centre speaker, taking the speaker count to 14.

Audio systems get new facias, while six-stack MP3-compatible CD changers are now standard across the range.

The gearshift surround features a new circular design, while ashtrays are eliminated from all Outbacks in line with customer feedback.

Cloth and leather trim patterns are revised in line with Outback’s refined appearance.

The cargo area has a reversible dual surface - one side carpet, the other easily washable polypropylene - for added practicality and ease of cleaning.

Engine

Outback 3.0Rs feature Subaru’s Active Valve Control System (AVCS) and Variable Valve Lift, ensuring optimum power and torque output, complemented by optimum fuel consumption and low exhaust emissions.

3.0 litre Outback torque is improved at low revolutions, for refined pulling power. Torque is up 4.0 per cent between 1200 and 1600 rpm and up 3.0 per cent between 2000 and 2800 rpm.

Emissions are improved on 3.0 litre engines through changes to the camshaft profile, aiding combustion efficiency.

Transmission

In 3.0 litre Outbacks, smoother downshift is achieved by the introduction of “blipping” control. This optimizes engine and transmission synchronization via the Transmission Control Unit.

Gear ratios

	2.5i man	2.5i auto	3.0R auto
First	3.454	2.785	3.54
Second	2.062	1.545	2.264
Third	1.448	1	1.471
Fourth	1.088	0.694	1
Fifth	0.825	-	0.834
Sixth	-	-	-
Reverse	3.333	2.272	2.37
Final reduction ratio	4.111	4.444	3.272

Safety

All MY07 Outbacks maintain an independent five-star ANCAP crashworthiness rating for occupant safety.

Brake Assist is introduced in all Outbacks. The ECU detects panic braking and automatically applies optimum force by assisting driver operation in a linear fashion, in minimal time.

Body rigidity on all Outbacks is enhanced by the addition of a reinforced engine bay strut tower, a larger firewall corner panel and reinforcement of the sill at the A-pillar base. These measures also reduce NVH.

Every Outback has dual front and side airbags, while 2.5i Premium and 3.0R Premium variants add curtain airbags.

Security

All Outbacks are equipped with the latest advanced engine immobilisers and DataDot theft protection.

For added security, all models have only one barrel lock, located in the driver’s door.
