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.
