Subaru Outback Boxer Diesel receives the automatic

These days Subaru is presenting in Germany’s Black Forest to the European motoring press updating the Subaru Outback which also includes small cosmetic changes, a new engine-gearbox combination is sure to be very well welcome.

The car changes are quite light and only affect the front grille and bumper design. In the cabin not perceive major changes, improving the quality of some materials (seat skin is now more pleasant to the touch). Overall still the same as always, but increasing the sense of perceived quality. Other changes come to the chassis to improve the compromise between comfort and performance.

Undoubtedly the most positive news is that finally the two-liter boxer diesel may be associated with an automatic transmission. This is the known Lineartronic, a box of CVT (continuously variable). It has cam wheel, allowing the driver to manually pseudo management at certain times. The average consumption in combination with the 150 hp diesel is 6.3 L/100.

At the moment we can not give details about the offer Spain, but very soon we will be able to drive it and then we will know how she has laid the new transmission the diesel engine. By the way, this combination is exclusive to Europe and Australia, and also reach the Subaru Forester.
