Subaru Outback Sport Touring XT AWD

Driving Subaru’s Outback Sport Touring XT AWD – a special edition high
riding wagon that sits at the top of the Outback range at $57,490 plus on-
road costs. Distinguished with special Geyser Blue exterior paint and black
18-inch alloy wheels, also highly equipped. Power source the traditional
2.5-litre horizontally opposed four-cylinder turbocharged driving all four
wheels through a continuously variable automatic. As has always been the
case with this mainstay Subaru, the drive experience most reassuring. It’s
not an SUV but a high riding wagon with a go-anywhere ability and it just
gets better year on year. Yes, it’s been around for a while in its current
guise and varied little over the years – just more refined and better
equipped, a firm family favourite, practical with good rear seat room and
load space and importantly a five-star ANCAP safety rating. The
turbocharged engine perhaps showing its age a little in that it uses more
petrol, and it does require higher grand 95 octane petrol – I achieved
11.1L/100 with mainly urban driving - but it is a permanent all-wheel drive
and the tractability in the recent rain was confidence inspiring. It does have
a full-size spare, peace of mind for those that venture off road. Warranty
five-years/unlimited km.
