Little separates the Subaru twins, except for some extra body cladding and the Outback's high-riding look. As it is based on the Liberty the Outback gains all the equipment and safety improvements of its urban sibling.
Like the Liberty, the Outback is more spacious in every key dimension. It is 65mm longer, 50mm wider, 70mm higher and the wheelbase is up 75mm compared to the previous model. The flowing headlight design integrates with the indicators, while fog lights are standard across the range.
Highlighting Outback's road presence are flared wheel arches and projector-style low-beam headlights.
