Powertrain Options and Availability

Legacy models used a 2.5-liter, horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine that produced 165 horsepower. Outbacks came with four-cylinder power or, starting in 2001, with a "flat" six-cylinder dual-overhead-cam engine rated at 212 horsepower. A five-speed manual transmission was standard on most four-cylinder models, but six-cylinder Outbacks came only with a four-speed automatic. Optional on the Baja in 2004 was a 210-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, making 45 more horsepower than the standard 4-cyl.

NHTSA Crash-Test Results

Vehicle crash test information not available at this time.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury: 5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%; 1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%; 2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
