Outback diesel auto launched

Subaru Ireland has rolled out the new Outback diesel automatic at a price of €44,995, writes Brian Byrne.

The nameplate was first launched in Europe in 1996, and this latest derivative of the current generation has improved handling among a number of other changes for 2014.

The automatic is a CVT with seven shift points and the car offers fuel consumption of 44.5mpg equivalent.

The Outback is based on the estate version of the Legacy and has 200mm of ground clearance, allowing it to be driven in rugged terrain.

The car has a full leather interior.
