Is there a diesel Subaru Outback?
The official NEDC combined economy figure for the Outback 2.0 DIESEL CVT is 46.3mpg, with an emissions figure of 159g/km CO2. With a six-speed manual transmission, the Outback Diesel returns fuel economy of 50.4mpg on the combined cycle and emissions of 145g/km CO2 – which is an improvement on the 2008 model.
How good is the Subaru diesel?
It handles well thanks to the 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel boxer engine, which means lower centre of gravity which helps handling and stability, despite the raised wheel height. It drives nicely in town and barrels along well on rough roads. It’s reasonably economical for an AWD car this size.
Why did Subaru stop making diesels?
The Outback’s sole engine choice is a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre petrol mated to a CVT gearbox. Subaru’s decision to drop its 2.0-litre diesel engine is almost certainly due to it not meeting the standards of the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) regulations, which come into force next month.
Did Subaru make diesel?
Subaru finally has a diesel-and it’s the first boxer turbodiesel in a passenger car.
Does Subaru make diesel cars?
Subaru sells about 15,000 2.0-liter turbo diesel Outbacks and Foresters annually, accounting for roughly 1.5 percent of its total global sales. Subaru Corporation will begin to focus more attention on developing a plug-in hybrid for the U.S. market in 2018, and an all-electric vehicle in 2021 or 2022.
How many km does a Subaru Outback diesel have?
I have a 2009 Diesel 6-speed manual Outback as well. I bought it new and it has 125,000 km on the clock. The manual diesels have had a chequered history with clutch reliability with many people reporting very early failures.
What’s the towing capacity of a Subaru Outback?
The diesel is rated for up to 1700kg braked towing, a 200kg improvement above the petrol model. But the lack of automatic will deter plenty in this market, as will the issues with the six-speed maual.
What’s the price of a new Subaru Outback?
We’re in the entry-level Outback 2.0D model, priced at $40,490 – a $2500 price premium over the entry-level petrol model – but the 51kg-heavier oil-burner is a manual-only proposition. The new two-litre turbodiesel engine produces 110kW at 3600rpm and 350Nm of torque between 1800 and 2400 rpm, although there’s a claimed 300Nm at 1600rpm.
What kind of gearing does a Subaru Outback use?
Subaru has gone for tall gearing to wring the best fuel efficiency out of the engine but the end result is that the engine labours at low speeds in second gear, which means you feel as if you’re forever hunting for the right gear in city traffic.
