Subaru Outback

The interior designers of the capable SUV have incorporated a immense amount of comfort and convenience in the interiors of the car. The cabins are poured-in with a large amount of driving pleasure for the driver in the form of a ergonomically configured control panel, a precise and well-lit infotainment system (7-inch touchscreen with smartphone UI) and the steering wheel with audio controls. The interior ambiance of the car is made way-more perceptible by the ultra-comfortable leather trimmed seats with 10-way power adjustable and lumbar adjustable driver's seat, dual-zone climate control system, 6-CD changer system and the Rear Ventilation and power sliding glass Sunoof system for the Full Option variant.

The rightly curved bonnet with muscular shoulder touch, well-shaped auto On/Off HID headlamps with pop-up type headlamp washer, decent radiator grille with three chromed slats, well-configured fog lamp consoles with large foglamps and the wide and flat front bumper design gives a dominating and modern look to the front design of the car. The sportiness of the crossover is hinted by its curved expressive wheel arc design, roof rails, rear spoiler, sporty rear lamps and side sills. The other accentuating feature are the 6-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels. The wide and elongated design of the car is a product of its exterior dimensions, measuring 4816mm x 1839mm x 1679mm (L x W x H).
