Subaru Outback is the same size, essentially, as Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento or Toyota Kluger, but people generally regard it as more car-like.
Unlike these three competitors, Outback is limited to five seats (seven for the other three). And unlike Santa Fe and Sorento, Outback is available only with a petrol engine.
A novated lease on a Subaru Outback means being able to pay for your car and car running costs using your pre-tax salary.
Your employer deducts a regular car payment from your salary before tax is deducted. This arrangement with your employer is known as salary sacrificing a car. It means you pay less income tax.
The car running costs you can include in your Subaru Outback novated lease include: charging registration and CTP, comprehensive car insurance, servicing, tyres, car washes.
Subaru’s most distinctive feature, perhaps, is the Symmetrical All-wheel Drive system - meaning all four wheels transmit drive to the road, all the time. Most competitors tend to offer ‘on-demand’ AWD, which reverts at times to front-drive and is controlled by a computer.
For this reason, Outback tends to be quite surefooted in slippery conditions, including wet bitumen and mud/gravel.
Outback has a cavernous cargo space that is unencumbered by a third seating row. Engine is a 2.5-litre horizontally-opposed four-cylinder offering 138 kilowatts and 245 Newton-metres.
To put this in perspective, Toyota, Hyundai and Kia offer six-cylinder petrol engines in similar-sized vehicles. Toyota’s produces 218 kilowatts and 350 Newton-metres. (That’s 58 per cent more peak power and 43 per cent more peak torque.) The additional performance from six cylinders is not without penalty, however: The Outback offers 16 per cent better fuel economy compared with the Kluger.
Outback’s straight-line performance is therefore adequate rather than spectacular. It seems a shame that Subaru, for reasons known only to itself, has thus far declined to incorporate the 2.4-litre turbocharged engine available in other markets into the Australian Outback range.
