2010 Subaru Outback UK Pricing Announced

The UK division of Subaru announced pricing information for the 2010 Outback, the fourth-generation model, which is longer, wider and taller than its predecessor. Five Outback models will be available in the UK, with pricing starting at £26,295 for the 2.0-liter diesel SE and 2.5i SE petrol models, and ranging up to £33,295 for the petrol 3.6-liter R version.

The new vehicle comes with the choice of three engines: a four-cylinder 2.0-liter diesel, a four-cylinder 2.5-liter petrol and a six-cylinder 3.6-liter petrol.

The entry level diesel engine, which is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, produces a maximum of 150 hp and a top torque figure of 350 Nm. On the other hand, the 2.5-liter petrol unit is mated with a standard ‘Lineartronic’ automatic transmission, developing 167 hp and 229 Nm. Finally, the top-of-the-range 3.6-liter five-speed automatic R delivers 260 hp and 350 Nm.

The entry-level standard equipment on the 2010 Subaru Outback includes leather upholstery, electric windows fore and aft, Bluetooth connectivity, six-CD stereo, dual-zone automatic air-conditioning, cruise control, and automatic activation for wipers and headlights, all coming as standard equipment.

“The original Subaru Outback pioneered the ‘crossover’ niche and, while other brands have launched rival models, it has always offered a highly-compelling blend of capabilities not available elsewhere,” comments Paul Tunnicliffe, Subaru’s Managing Director, in a statement for the press.

“The all-new, fourth-generation Outback raises the bar yet again, in particular thanks to its peerless go-anywhere driveability and its spacious and luxuriously-appointed cabin. Alongside its Legacy Tourer sibling, it represents a significant new chapter in Subaru’s brand resurgence,” he added.
