The Subaru Outback's 2.5-litre, four-cylinder engine generates 115 kW of power at 5600 rpm and very useable torque of 223 Nm at 3600 rpm. While the car is quite responsive off the mark, the most impressive aspect of its engine's performance is its 'pulling power' at low to middling revs. The boxer engine is flexible and willing to work hard when required, making it easy to accomplish manoeuvres such as a quick overtake. The engine also makes quite easy work of carrying a full load of passengers and cargo.
