2013 Subaru Outback Guide manual pdf - Earlier this year, Subaru said its 2013 Outback would be getting some upgrades--a tweak here, a tuck there, a new engine and some dandy new safety features. You'd have thought someone was spreading rumors that the official transportation of drum circles and Lilith Fairs everywhere was turning.
The Outback is available in a total of five trim levels - three with the 2.5-liter four and two with the 3.6-liter six.
The entry-level 2.5i trim comes standard with power windows and locks, A/C, cruise control, a four-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo system with an aux-input jack, iPod control capability and a USB port, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, cloth upholstery and manually-adjustable seats, auto on/off headlights and 16-inch steel wheels with hubcaps.
Powertrain Lineup
Like all Subaru models except the lightweight BRZ sports car, the Outback comes standard with all-wheel-drive. In combination with an SUV-like 8.7-inches of ground clearance, the drivetrain is a boon for wet and wintry-weather traction, although the tradeoff is slightly worse fuel economy than comparable front-wheel-drive models.
Occupant Safety
All Outback models come standard with dual front, front side and full-length side curtain airbags in addition to traction and stability control systems and a tire-pressure monitoring system.
Key competitors
One of Subaru's most well-known models, the Outback wagon doesn't have any true competitors - its the last midsize non-premium wagon on the market. Those looking to do some cross-shopping should check out similarly sized crossovers such as the Ford Edge, the Nissan Murano and the Honda Crosstour. More expensive (but smaller) wagons like the BMW 3-Series Wagon, the Audi allroad and the Acura TSX Sport Wagon.
