2017 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium

Stop wasting time with half-measures. This 2017 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium is built to work hard, last long, and keep you in control when everyone else is debating their options. Under the hood sits Subaru’s stout 2.5-liter horizontally opposed H4 boxer engine—factory-rated at 175 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque—that delivers a brutally competent balance of everyday power, torque where you need it, and the kind of reliability that earns repeat owners. It’s mated to Subaru’s Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) that’s tuned to extract real-world performance and efficiency out of the boxer engine while smoothing out every shift. The result: confident acceleration, seamless highway cruising, and a drivetrain built to soldier on.

This Outback is factory-equipped with Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system—standard, mechanical, and ready. It’s not a gimmick. It’s a balanced, full-time AWD architecture that means traction, cornering stability, and composure in rain, snow, mud, or gravel. Complementing the drivetrain are four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, Electronic Brake-force Distribution and Brake Assist for predictable, composed stops, plus Vehicle Dynamics Control and traction control to keep the car exactly where you want it when conditions get sketchy.

Look at the stance: 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in durable all-season tires, aggressive body cladding to protect the panels, and factory roof rails with integrated crossbars that turn the Outback into an instant hauler—skis, bikes, kayaks—no aftermarket hacks required. The design is rugged without apology: practical ground clearance, purposeful fender flares, and a hatchback cargo area that opens up a cavern for gear. The exterior lighting package includes fog lamps up front for low-visibility conditions and projector-style headlights that cut through the night. Every inch was engineered to be useful and stay that way.

Slide inside and you feel it: this Premium trim delivers the comfort and functionality that matter without pretending to be something it's not. Durable, high-quality cloth seats that hold you in place on long drives and short ones alike; a driver-centric cockpit with a tilt-and-telescoping steering column; and a leather-wrapped steering wheel (factory) that gives positive tactile feedback while you command the road. The split-folding 60/40 rear seat drops flat to dramatically expand the cargo bay—this is a car that accommodates actual life, not just lookbook photos.

Factory infotainment and convenience features are built to be straightforward and dependable. The Subaru STARLINK multimedia interface provides Bluetooth hands-free phone capability and audio streaming so your calls and playlists integrate cleanly. You’ll find USB and auxiliary inputs for device charging and playback, AM/FM radio, and a well-positioned display that keeps essential information visible without distracting you from driving. Power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, cruise control, and practical storage cubbies are standard—no fluff, just usable features arranged the way they should be.

Safety is baked into the build. The car comes with a comprehensive suite of airbags—front, side-impact and side-curtain protection—plus seatbelt pretensioners and a robust occupant protection cage. Tire Pressure Monitoring, engine immobilizer theft deterrent, and a solid safety structure give peace of mind. The suspension tuning balances compliant ride quality with controlled handling—struts up front and a multi-link rear design that lets the Outback soak bumps while still tracking true through bends.
