Review

Is it a 4x4? Is it an estate? It's a bit of both but Subaru's Outback should be none the worse for that. Jonathan Crouch takes a look.

Ten Second Review
Subaru's Outback isn't an SUV but offers most of what that class of vehicle provides in a package that's a little more rugged than your average jacked-up large 4x4 estate. After all, its permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system will keep you going long after other off road estates have waved the white flag. This improved, more efficient version of the fourth generation design is based solely around a 2.0-litre diesel powerplant that you can now choose to match with slick Lineartronic automatic transmission. It's also well equipped, more efficient and smarter inside and out. Overall, a rare choice - but for the right kind of buyer, potentially a very good one.

Background
The Subaru Outback. With a history going all the way back to 1996, it was the original off-road-orientated family estate, with an image that, at the turn of the century, placed it comfortably alongside big Volvos and Land Rovers as a preferred choice for the tweed jacketed country set. In more recent times, it's been a rarer sight on our roads - something Subaru's importers would like to change, with the introduction of this much improved fourth generation version. The Outback's based almost entirely on Subaru's Legacy Tourer estate, though it offers a tougher look and extra ground clearance, both key ingredients for the emerging market niche of capable all-wheel drive estates lately popularised by cars like Audi's allroad models and Volvo's XC70. It was in response to competition of this sort that Subaru launched the fourth generation version of this Outback in 2010, making it bigger and more capable than before. It wasn't enough, partly because the automatic gearbox most buyers wanted couldn't be matched with the diesel power most of them needed. Hence the need for this car, the smarter, more efficient and much improved MK4 model launched here in the Autumn of 2013. Let's try it.

Driving Experience
Paul Hogan of Crocodile Dundee fame was the face that originally launched this car back in the Nineties and sure enough, it's easy to imagine his grizzled face behind the wheel of one of these pounding across the Australian Outback. Or at least amongst some of its bumpy but passable trails. A 50mm increase on ground clearance over the standard Legacy Tourer estate on which this model is based means 200mm of fresh air beneath the bodywork. Not enough to tackle anything too rocky but certainly better than pretend off roaders like Toyota's RAV4 as well as more similarly-orientated 4x4 estate car rivals like Skoda's Octavia Scout or Audi's A4 allroad. In any case, cars like this one aren't bought to tackle the Rubicon trail but to deal with muddy cart tracks and slippery backroads, with or without heavy trailers in-tow. All of which is well within the Outback's remit thanks to its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. This usually splits power 50:50 between front and rear axles in manual models - or 60:40 if you've gone for the Lineartronic CVT automatic version. But it's also intelligent enough not simply to leave it at that, instead cleverly shunting power around to the wheel that can best use it in any given slushy situation. In short, it's better off the tarmac than a car of this kind has any right to be. Diesel is the only choice for Outback buyers these days and there's just a single 150PS 2.0-litre unit on offer. You can at least however, now match it to automatic transmission, which at last for Subaru creates the diesel power/auto gearbox combination that most buyers in this segment now want.

Design and Build
The links between this Outback and the Legacy Tourer model it's based upon are obvious to the casual observer - but then, so also are the differences. Extended wheelarches and further body-coloured protection along the sills also emphasise the car's off-road credentials, as does its higher 200mm ground clearance. If your memory of Outback models goes back some way and you're not familiar with the fourth generation version of this car, then you might be surprised to find it a little bigger than expected. The MK4 model took a step up in size from its predecessor as Subaru chased after buyers who might be considering cars like Volvo's XC70 or even maybe Audi's much pricier A6 allroad. Up-front, this revised model feels more up-market, featuring smart carbon effect accents on the doors, metallic accents for the centre console and the dashboard and a more ergonomic steering wheel design. There are classier instrument dials too, separated by a neat 3.5-inch colour liquid crystal display. Out back, expect to find 526-litres of space with all the seats in place and 1677-litres when you flip the useful levers by the tailgate to flatten the 60:40 split-folding rear bench.

Market and Model
Expect to pay around £30,000 for your Outback in manual gearbox form: there's a £1,500 premium to find if you want the Lineartronic automatic. There's only one trim level and of course, the single estate bodystyle. These days, you only get a single 2.0-litre diesel engine option too: there simply isn't the demand for the petrol-powered Outback models the importers used to offer here. In terms of Subaru's own line-up, that kind of outlay pitches this car in about £1,000 above top spec comparably equipped 4WD diesel-powered versions of the slightly less capable Legacy Tourer and the slightly more capable Forester. All Outback models come with 17-inch gunmetal-coloured alloy wheels, silver roof rails, power-folding heated mirrors, a roof spoiler, UV-protected glass, a power-sliding glass sunroof, self-levelling automatic HID headlamps with washers, rain-sensing wipers and front foglamps. Inside, you can exect to find dual-zone automatic air conditioning, a six-speaker stereo system with USB and aux-in compatibility, Bluetooth 'phone compatibility, a trip computer, a VGA centre display with rear parking camera, heated sports seats with power adjustment for the driver and a leather-trimmed multi-function steering wheel from which you can operate cruise control. There are really only two main options: leather trim and satellite navigation.

Cost of Ownership
Usually, a more capable car is a more expensive one to run. You'd certainly expect that the permanent Symmetical 4WD system of this Outback would exact more of a fuel and emissions penalty than would be found on most other rivals, cars that trundle around in two wheel drive most of the time, with all-wheel traction only being introduced when needed. Thanks to enhancements like an EGR Exhaust Gas Recirculator - which alone improves efficiency by 12% - the figures suggest otherwise. Take the 47.9mpg combined cycle fuel figure and 155g/km CO2 reading you'll get from a manual diesel-powered Outback model. The Lineartronic automatic diesel version I have here manages 44.8mpg and 166g/km. In both cases, the returns aren't too far off those achieved by less capable rivals like Vauxhall's Insignia Country Tourer, Volkswagen's Passat Alltrack and the Audi A4 Allroad. And they're also pretty similar to the kind of figures you'd return with a comparable RAV4 or Freelander-style compact soft roading SUV. What else? Well there's the peace of mind of a five year / 100,000 mile warranty. Plus with service intervals at 12,000 miles, the Outback shouldn't prove too arduous to own.

Summary
If you really don't want an SUV but really need one, there are plenty of plush jacked-up 4WD estate cars than can claim to offer a realistic alternative. Yet few of them would last long if regularly used up-hill, down-dale on the average rutted farm track. Here's an exception. This improved fourth generation Outback may not be able to replace a fully-fledged off roader for those living halfway up a mountain peak but for a vehicle of this kind, it really is extraordinarily capable. Previous Outback models were just as good but weren't really large or plush enough to compete against the Volvos and Audis that represent this car's most natural competition. Crucially, they also lacked the diesel/automatic drivetrain combination that most buyers now want. With all that put right, this Subaru now makes more sense than ever before.
