Subaru Outback 2.5i SE Premium Estate 5dr Petrol Lineartronic 4WD Euro 6 (s/s) (175 ps)

The Subaru Outback is now in its fifth generation and has really come of age – and for those looking for a capable semi off-road estate with bags of character, this is well worth considering. It represents a genuinely strong proposition in a growing sector of the UK car market. It's not short of rivals, which include the Audi A4 Allroad and the excellent Volkswagen Passat Alltrack. But the Outback is less of an estate-on-stilts than these cars, with a near-purpose-built style that shouts SUV without the compromises that come with these cars. Vauxhall's Insignia Country Tourer probably deserves a mention here too, though none of the above can hold a candle to the Subaru when the going gets tough. The Skoda Octavia Scout – while cheaper, smaller and slightly less capable off-road – is probably closest to the Outback in essence, simply in terms of its rugged, utilitarian character.Built for those who demand the versatility and reliability of an off-roader, along with the space and comfort of a large estate car, it's styled to look rugged, and Subaru claims the general idea for the current model was 'more Outback'.And what a practical, capable car this is. It's Subaru's flagship vehicle, selling in the hundreds of thousands worldwide, and it's one that perfectly reflects the brand's core values. It's hugely able on the road, nearly imperious off, has acres of space inside and cabin quality has moved up a notch too. It's not a big seller in the UK, but that's no reason not to consider one of these cars – you'll not only stand out from the crowd, but you'll also benefit from the company's legendary reliability, long warranty and general air of unstoppability.Subaru has stuck to its guns with the engine and gearbox options with the Outback. As with all previous generation Outbacks (and the Legacys it's based on) the company has plumped for a Boxer four-cylinder engine, both in diesel and petrol forms. It's also available with and a choice of CVT automatic or manual for diesel models. The 2.5-litre turbocharged petrol is available with the automatic only. Of course, all of the engines and gearboxes connect to Subaru's excellent symetrical all-wheel drive system which puts most other firms' attempts to shame. We've driven both petrol and diesel auto models, and can report they're both highly capable machines. In fact, we've driven on road, off road, on snow, on the motorway and in traffic. In all situations the Outback simply takes it in its stride. Check our website for more stock. Friendly and approachable sales team, check out our reviews.
