Subaru Outback Sport Touring XT AWD

Subaru’s Outback has been a firm family favourite for over 25 years. I’m
driving the Outback Sport Touring XT, a special edition turbocharged
model that sits at the top of the Outback’s model range priced at $57,490
plus on-road costs. The Outback best described as a high-riding wagon
and the Sport Touring XT identifies with dark 18-inch alloy wheels and
special Geyser Blue exterior paint. Inside, premium features such as Nappa
leather seat inserts, power front seats, heated and ventilated seats, nine
speaker Harman Kardon sound and a power sunroof and tailgate. The 2.5-
litre horizontally opposed turbo four-cylinder features 350Nm of torque and
links to a continuously variable automatic transmission. A very well sorted
interior with large central touchscreen and nice instrumentation but a lack
of buttons for aircon a disappointment. Both seat rows offer good room
and are well equipped with USB ports and aircon outlets. The Subaru
Outback has varied little over the years – and why should it - it’s a practical
design that gets customers coming back for more – its gained more
equipment over the years and more features and more refinement – a
practical family wagon with a go anywhere ability – the Sport Touring XT
special edition offering that little bit more.
