The Impressive Winter Performance of the Outback
The new Outback has the power and capability to keep you in control when navigating winter conditions around Bangor. Not only does the legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive System come standard, but you can expect additional stability and traction features. Some of these standard features include:
- X-MODE®
- Hill Descent Control (HDC)
- Traction Control System (TCS)
- Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)
- Active Torque Vectoring
The Outback offers an available 2.4-liter turbocharged BOXER® engine that produces 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, providing more power when you need it. With available heated front and rear seats and a heated steering wheel, you will also stay warm and comfortable driving around Portland.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
All Subaru models except for the Subaru BRZ come with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. What makes Symmetrical AWD different from the rest is the engine, transmission, and transfer case are aligned so that when split down the middle, the system is a mirror-image of itself.
Some of the benefits that come with Subaru's AWD systems include:
- Even wear and longer lasting tires
- Quicker acceleration
- Greater control when accelerating
- More control during a tire blow-out
- Better traction in slippery driving conditions
