New Subaru Outback Specials and Inventory Des Moines IA

Design

As is the case with many Subaru crossovers, the Outback sports a wagon-like body. However, unlike its brethren, the Outback's interior borrows elements from the Subaru Legacy. For instance, base models feature heated front seats and a power-adjustable driver's seat. Meanwhile, higher trims feature a heated steering wheel, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, and heated rear seats. One feature, though, that is unique to the Outback is its cargo space. Ames and West Des Moines drivers will find 33 cubic feet behind the second row, which is equivalent to 11 carry-on bags and up to 23 bags with the seats folded.

Performance

The new Subaru Outback continues to use a n 182-hp 2.5-liter and an optional 260-hp turbocharged 2.4-liter. Both engines come with all-wheel drive and are mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). According to the EPA's estimation, the base engine gets about 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. Meanwhile, the turbocharged version has a slight dip in efficiency with an estimated 23 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.

Technology

Although the Limited received several new features, all other trims remain the same. There are still two stacked seven-inch touchscreens and the larger 11.6-inch vertically oriented monitor in higher trims. The larger monitor features bigger icons and a quicker response time, along with a rotary volume and tuning knob.

Each monitor has Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, with amenities like navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and wireless device charging being optional. While a four-speaker stereo is standard, the Limited and Touring trims offer a 12-speaker system as standard.
