22:21 17/4/2014 - Πηγή: AutoBlog

H Subaru παρουσίασε σήμερα επίσημα στο κοινό της Νέας Υόρκης το νέο Outback.

Το επανασχεδιασμένο crossover της Subaru δανείζεται αρκετά στοιχεία από το Legacy, όπου υιοθετεί την εξάγωνη γρίλια με χρωμιομένες λεπτομέρειες και φωτιστικά σώματα που επεκτείνονται στα φτερά. Διαθέτει LED φώτα ημέρας, ζάντες 17 ή 18 ιντσών, καπό από αλουμίνιο, πλαστικά προστατευτικά στο κάτω μέρος, ράγες οροφής, πίσω αεροτομή, ενώ το ύψος

από το έδαφος φτάνει τα 221 χλστ.

Το εσωτερικό του γίνεται πιο premium αφού θα διαθέτει καλύτερης ποιότητας υλικά και στο βασικό εξοπλισμό διαθέτει όλες τις ηλεκτρικές ευκολίες και οθόνη 6,2 ιντσών.Η μεσαία Premium έκδοση έχει ηλεκτρικό κάθισμα οδηγού, δερμάτινο τιμόνι, θερμαινόμενα καθίσματα, διζωνικό αυτόματο κλιματισμό και αναβαθμισμένο σύστημα infotainment με 7άρα οθόνη. Τέλος, η Limited έχει επιπλέον δερμάτινο σαλόνι, ηλεκτρικό κάθισμα συνοδηγού, θερμαινόμενα πίσω καθίσματα, ηχοσύστημα της Harman/Kardon και ξύλινες επενδύσεις.

Κάτω από το καπό του συναντάμε τον 2,5-λιτρο τετρακύλινδρο κινητήρα απόδοσης 175 ίππων με 235 Nm ροπής και τον 3,6-λίτρων εξακύλινδρο κινητήρα απόδοσης 256 ίππων με 334 Nm ροπής. Και οι δύο κινητήρες θα συνεργάζονται με ένα Lineartronic CVT κιβώτιο, το οποίο θα είναι ικανό να στέλνει τη κίνηση και στους τέσσερις τροχούς.

Javits Center. The 2015 Outback offers the roomiest interior, most capable chassis and highest fuel-efficiency in the model’s 20-year history. Its bold new design delivers an even more compelling blend of on-road agility, off-pavement control, ride comfort, interior refinement and safety technology./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">The 2015 Outback arrives in Subaru dealerships in summer 2014. The 175-horsepower 4-cylinder Outback 2.5i model is available in Standard, Premium and Limited trim lines, accompanied by the top-of-line 6-cylinder 3.6R Limited with 256 horsepower. All trim lines add more standard amenities, conveniences and new infotainment systems.

models that followed, and the new-generation 2015 Outback further strengthens the melding of passenger- car and SUV attributes that crossover shoppers seek. The 2015 Outback exemplifies Subaru’s mastery of outdoors-oriented vehicle engineering, not just for its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and raised ground clearance, but also for numerous details that help make it more convenient to load and carry cargo as well as items such as kayaks and bikes. Newly standard X-Mode, Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist augment Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to assist the driver in navigating rough roads, slippery surfaces or steep inclines./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;"New for 2015, all Outback models come standard with the Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission), which features paddle-shift control switches and is instrumental in the Outback’s significantly improved fuel economy. Manufacturer-estimated ratings of 25 mpg city / 33 mpg highway / 28 mpg combined are up from 24/30/26 in the 2014 model. These figures place the 2015 Outback 2.5i at the top of the midsize crossover class, bettering front-wheel drive versions of some competitive crossovers./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">A new Active Grille Shutter system on the 2015 Outback 2.5i helps to improve fuel economy by reducing wind resistance when closed. Electric Power-Assisted Steering and improved aerodynamics also contribute to the increased efficiency in all models. Due largely to its new Lineartronic CVT, the 6-cylinder Outback 3.6R Limited also improves fuel economy, with manufacturer-estimated ratings of 20 mpg city/27 mpg highway/22 combined vs. 17/25/20 for the previous version.

front fascia combines the hexagonal grille and bumper into one smooth piece. An aluminum hood reduces weight over the front wheels, which helps enhance steering response. In the Outback 3.6R Limited, new standard HID low-beam headlights give the car a more distinctive nighttime signature. Limited trim line models feature turn signal exterior mirrors./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;"The 2015 Outback’s windshield is more raked, pulled forward 2.0 in. at the base. The new windshield angle, higher seating hip points, new front partition windows and door-mounted side view mirrors help improve visibility. The 2015 Outback maintains a footprint similar to the model it replaces. Wheelbase is increased by just 0.2-in., overall length by 0.6-in. and width by 0.7 in. The changes, though small, yield a roomier passenger cabin, at 108.1 cu. ft. (up from 105.4 cu. ft.). The added space includes gains in shoulder, front and rear hip and elbow room and rear legroom. The Outback’s cargo area has been enlarged to 35.5 cu. ft. behind the rear seats, up from 34.3, while maximum capacity with the standard 60/40 split fold-down rear seatbacks folded is now 73.3 cu. ft., up from 71.3. In addition, the load floor provided by the lowered seats now lays flatter, and new rear seatback release levers in the cargo area enhance convenience./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">The Outback continues with 8.7-in. ground clearance, which is higher than for some SUVs, yet with low step-in height for comfort. New step-style doorsills allow one to stand firmly when securing objects to the roof rails with integrated retractable crossbars and tie downs. A power rear gate with memory height is available on Outback for the first time.

performance of the previous model, adding new front seat-cushion airbags that help to keep occupants in place in a frontal collision. All trim lines come standard with a rear-view camera, and a new rollover sensor can deploy the side curtain airbags if an imminent rollover is detected./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;"For added nighttime security, the 2015 Outback features new standard Welcome Lighting that automatically turns on cabin illumination and exterior lights as the driver approaches or departs the vehicle. The Limited trim offers a Keyless Access & Start system with PIN Code Access./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">The new Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection System, which is standard on Limited trims and available for the 2.5i Premium, offers three functions. Blind Spot Detection detects vehicles on either side of the vehicle, in the driver’s blind spots; Lane Change Assist detects fast-approaching vehicles in adjacent lanes, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert detects vehicles approaching from a perpendicular direction while reversing, such as from a driveway. LED indicators on the side mirrors alert the driver. Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses an indicator in the rear view camera display.

system, the highest-rated front crash prevention system by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Available for Outback Premium and Limited trim lines, EyeSight® uses Subaru-developed stereo camera technology and integrates Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking and Vehicle Lane Departure Warning. The 2015 Outback is projected to achieve the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, as the 2014 Outback did./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;"Models equipped with EyeSight® also come with new Steering-Responsive Fog Lights. The feature, which works only when the fog lights are turned off, activates the left or right fog light independently, depending on vehicle speed and steering angle, to provide enhanced illumination in the direction of the turn. The fog lights are pre-aimed for maximum coverage in corners./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">Four- or Six-Cylinder BOXER EngineThe 2015 Outback 2.5i is powered by a double-overhead-cam (DOHC) FB series 2.5-liter BOXER engine that debuted for 2013 and now receives numerous enhancements for lighter weight, improved efficiency and quieter operation. Power is increased slightly, to 175 hp vs. 173 hp before. Peak torque remains at 174 lb.-ft. but is spread over a broader engine speed range for more responsive performance in all driving situations.

engine produces 256 hp and 247 lb.-ft. of peak torque. Notably, the 3.6 engine sustains at least 225 lb.-ft. of torque from 2,000 to 6,000 rpm, making the Outback 3.6R Limited feel exceptionally smooth and responsive in everyday driving./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;"Standard Lineartronic CVTFor 2015, all Outback models now come standard with a Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission), with the 6-cylinder model using a high-torque version. Changes made to reduce friction in the CVT contribute to higher fuel efficiency. Because a CVT does not shift gears, the driver enjoys smoother performance in all driving situations. The CVT’s selectable manual mode offers six pre-selected ratios to allow the driver to “shift” manually using steering wheel paddle switches. This feature can provide added driver control when driving down inclines, for example./pp Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #333333; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;">Enhanced Agility and Quieter RideSubaru extensively revised and retuned the MacPherson front strut suspension and double-wishbone rear suspension for greater handling agility and a more compliant ride – a difficult balance to achieve. New quick-ratio electric power-assisted steering delivers outstanding feel and also helps reduce fuel consumption. The Outback 2.5i is equipped with standard 17-inch wheels, and the Limited trim line features 18-in. alloy wheels.Active Torque Vectoring, an enhancement of the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) stability and traction control system, fosters more neutral cornering by applying brake pressure to the inside front wheel. The Outback 2.5i now uses larger brakes previously available only on the 6-cylinder model, and all models now have ventilated rear discs in place of solid discs used previously. The Brake Assist safety system automatically applies maximum braking pressure in an emergency stop.

The heater control panel integrates the digital clock and outside air temperature displays, with the time automatically corrected by GPS in navigation-equipped models. A new one-touch lane changer function for the turn signals adds convenience. Premium and Limited trim levels come equipped with standard auto up/down driver and front passenger windows with pinch protection.
