The Outback comes in a six-pack of possibilities that encompasses three trim levels and two engines. Outbacks with 2.5-liter engines are designated as 2.5i, 2.5i Premium and 2.5i Limited. Those with 3.6-liter engines sport 3.6R, 3.6R Premium and 3.6R Limited badges.
The base 2.5i is a good starting point, featuring a 6-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, 4-wheel disc brakes, 16-inch wheels, power windows and locks, cruise control, remote keyless entry and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel as standard issue. The 2.5i is priced at $22,995, and its only option is Subaru's Lineartronic continuously variable transmission.
Stepping into a Premium-trimmed 2.5i adds a 10-way power adjustable driver's seat, 17-inch alloy wheels, a leather steering wheel, auto up/down driver's window and fog lights, and raises the sticker price to $24,295. Optional fare includes the Lineartronic CVT, all-weather package, a 440-watt Harman Kardon stereo and a sunroof.
The 2.5i Limited is priced at $27,995 and adds a 4-way power adjustable passenger seat, all-weather package, CVT, climate control, the Harman Kardon stereo and a leather-trimmed interior. Going with a Limited opens the door to options such as a navigation system and a sunroof.
The 3.6R line has a bigger engine and 17-inch rolling stock as standard equipment, and beyond that, its Premium and Limited trims add the same equipment as seen in the 2.5i trim, except for the CVT gearbox, which is available only in the 2.5i. The base 3.6R is priced at $27,995. The Premium 3.6R adds $1,000 to the base trim, while the top-of-the-line Limited checks in at $30,995.
