Visually, the 5th generation outback can easily pass as a utility vehicle rather than a station wagon. With increased dimensions, the Outback now has 10% more cargo space. Like the Legacy sedan, its 2,5i version can come equipped with a CVT. It produces 11 more horsepower using the Tribeca’s H6 engine. The Outback has a rear double wishbone suspension (like the Impreza’s) and the electronic brake enables Subaru’s own anti-rollback system.
