david1972 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Ahead of the release of the new Outback in April, I thought I'd post a few early reviews up here. General consensus seems to be its an improvement on the 4th gen model. Sadly, the 3,6L petrol unit has been dropped from the range; the 2 engine options are now a 2.0D (manual or auto) and a 2.5 petrol auto unit. If you're lucky enough to own one, please feel free to post your own reviews here :D http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/subaru/outback/estate/ http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/subaru/outback/90140/new-subaru-outback-2015-review http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/subaru/outback/ http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/subaru/outback/first-drives/2015-subaru-outback-20d-se-premium-lineartronic-review http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/subaru-outback-review-first-drive-2015-01-23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_gr7 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Shame there's no 3.6ltr or 3ltr models anymore. Those 3ltr engines are pretty solid, which makes me wonder why they wouldn't offer a 3ltr version? Any stats on the 2.5 petrol version? Is it non turbo?

david1972 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Emissions are actually remarkably low for the 2.5 lump....£180 tax bracket band for the petrol, which amazed me to be honest That will be why they dumped the 3.6 though.....the 3.0l went back in 2009 Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
