What’s new in the 2018 Subaru Outback
Eyesight Driving Assist Technology
A driver support system thst uses a range of functions to assist the driver to provide a safer driving experience. The EyeSight system uses a pair of full colour cameras that continously scan the road ahead for potential hazards and aims to prevent or reduce damages from a potential crash.
These cameras are integrated just behind the front windscreen on either sides of the rear view mirror.
Engine
The Outback is powered by a 175ps 2.5L boxer engine with a new alternator which will help it improve fuel economy. This new alternator is in fact 8% lighter than its predecessor.
Transmission
Power is transfered to all 4 wheels via a 7 speed CVT ‘box which now features a manual mode to induce a sense of sportiness. Not only that, Subaru has even replaced its CVT chain for better short pitch chain which reduces noise from inside the cockpit, while further improving fuel efficiency by approximately 3 percent over its predecessor.

Facelifted front bumper and hexagonal grille, inducing a premium feel and a rugged look
New Wheels
Turbine inspired wheels thst are both lightweight and aerodynamic
