Subaru of America, Inc. today introduced the all-new 2015 Outback, the fifth generation of the World’s First Sport Utility Wagon®, at the New York International Auto Show in the Jacob K. Javits Center. The 2015 Outback offers the roomiest interior, most capable chassis and highest fuel-efficiency in the model’s 20-year history. Its bold new design delivers an even more compelling blend of on-road agility, off-pavement control, ride comfort, interior refinement and safety technology. The 2015 Outback arrives in Subaru dealerships in summer 2014.
The new 2015 Subaru Outback’s design features crisper, more sculpted lines that convey both its all-road capability and its added refinement. The 175-horsepower 4-cylinder Outback 2.5i is available in Standard, Premium and Limited trim lines, accompanied by the top-of-line 6-cylinder 3.6R Limited with 256 horsepower. All trim lines add more standard amenities, conveniences and new infotainment systems. All 2015 Outback models come standard with the Lineartronic® CVT (continuously variable transmission), which features paddle-shift control switches and helps boost fuel economy significantly. The 2015 Outback 2.5i achieves manufacturer-estimated ratings of 25 mpg city / 33 mpg highway / 28 mpg combined, up from 24/30/26 in the 2014 model. A new Active Grille Shutter system on the 2015 Outback 2.5i and Electric Power-Assisted Steering and improved aerodynamics on all models also contribute to the increased efficiency.
Active Torque Vectoring, an enhancement of the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) stability and traction control system, enhances agility. Newly standard X-Mode, Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist augment standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to assist the driver in navigating rough roads, slippery surfaces or steep inclines. The Outback continues with 8.7-in. ground clearance, which is higher than for some SUVs, yet with low step-in height for comfort.
The 2015 Outback maintains a footprint similar to the model it replaces. Small increases to wheelbase, length and width yield a roomier passenger cabin and greater cargo room. A new windshield angle, higher seating hip points, new front partition windows and door-mounted side view mirrors help improve visibility.
Extensively revised and retuned suspension endows the 2015 Outback with greater handling agility and a more comfortable ride. New sound-control measures make the cabin quieter, while new soft-touch materials and trim styles give a more premium feel. New step-style doorsills make it easier to load objects on the roof rails, and other new conveniences include rear seatback release levers in the cargo area and an available power rear gate with memory height.
The 2015 Outback adds new front seat-cushion airbags that help to keep occupants in place in a frontal collision, and all trim lines come standard with a rear-view camera. The new Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection System, which is standard on Limited trims and available for the 2.5i Premium, includes Blind Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
The 2015 Outback offers the latest version of the EyeSight® driver-assist system, the highest-rated front crash prevention system by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). EyeSight uses Subaru-developed stereo camera technology and integrates Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking and Vehicle Lane Departure Warning systems.
Subaru significantly upgraded infotainment capability in the 2015 Outback, with all available systems featuring Subaru STARLINK smartphone integration and apps. An upgrade system adds a 7-inch touch screen display with swipe and scrolling gesture control, voice-activated controls, SiriusXM® satellite radio and iTunes® tagging capability.
A new high-end audio system that’s standard for Limited trims combines an AM/FM/HD Radio system with a harman/kardon® 576-Watt-equivalent amplifier and 12 harman/kardon speakers. The available navigation system’s interactive voice command system accepts natural language and phrases, and this functionality can also operate the dual-zone automatic climate control system.
Subaru produces a full line of all-wheel drive sedans, crossovers and SUVs, along with the rear-wheel drive BRZ sports car.
