Since 1994, Subaru Outback has been  synonymous with excellence for off-road adventurers. It is loved by city dwellers who enjoy its smooth ride and handling performance as well as families who want the safety of one of the most reliable cars in the industry.

The sixth generation Outback answers the needs of drivers who love the space of a hatchback but crave the sleek look of a sedan. Its sporty look, enhanced by its dynamic silhouette and luxurious interior will satisfy any car aficionado. Since the unveiling at the New York International Auto Show last April, Erik Durand, General Manager at Subaru de Laval, is looking forward to introducing it to the consumers in the area.

"Our clients can choose from an  impressive range of accessories and options such as the 29.94 cm screen or the return of the turbo engine. In addition to several improvements available on basic models such as a new sound proof glass which uses a sound-insulating inner film for the windshield and front- door glass, glass thickness all around has been increased to provide even more quietness as well  as  a  reworked  suspension  to  enhance comfort and handling.”

The 2020 Outback offers the choice of two engines. A new 2.5-litre Subaru Boxer, producing 182 horsepower and 176 lbs./ft. of torque, comes with a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) with paddle shifters and a new eight-speed manual mode. The combination results in quicker acceleration and improved efficiency. The most significant addition to the 2020 Outback is the available turbocharged 2.4-litre Subau Boxer that produces 260 horse- power and 277 lbs./ft. of torque. When equipped with this engine, the new generation can tow up to 1,590 kilos. An off-road adventure specialist like the Subaru Forester, all Outback models are equipped with X-Mode. When engaged, this system optimizes the engine, transmission, all- wheel-drive system and brakes for optimal traction on slippery surfaces and steep inclines.

The new Subaru Outback also offers a high level of safety thanks to the standard delivered driver assistance system and the optional DriverFocus distraction alert system. Driven by facial recognition software that identifies signs of fatigue or lack of attention, the exclusive segment system works in conjunction with Subaru's EyeSight technology to reduce the risk of collision. To further improve safety and convenience, Subaru is launching Subaru STARLINK Connected Services, which link to the national 4G LTE cellular network, completely independent of the consumer's cellphone. Directly integrated into the vehicle, the system uses voice response technology and real-time assistance to provide features such as automatic collision notification, emergency assistance requests, remote access to certain functions of the car from customers' smart devices, maintenance appointments, and a concierge service.

Useful when driving off-road or during a par- king manoeuvre, the optional  front  camera on the 2020 Subaru Outback provides a 180-degree forward view on a vertical touchscreen of nearly 30 cm, positioned in the centre of the dashboard. This system is designed to more accurately reproduce the look and functionality of a smartphone or tablet.

The adaptable architecture of the Subaru Global Platform has allowed the space between the wheel arches and the opening of the tailgate to improve the functionality of the 2020 Outback utility space. Access to the cargo space is facilitated by electrical function and is also hands-free, a first for Subaru.

Subaru redesigned the Global Platform for the 2020 Outback. Its structure is stiffer than the previous model's platform thanks to an additional 13 per cent of ultra-high-strength steel, a 371 per cent increase of structural adhesive compared to the first generation of the Subaru Global Platform, and, in a Subaru-first, a floor cross member filled with a highly rigid, lightweight and two-part foam material.
