The Subaru Outback 3.0 R is a vehicle adapted to travel by road very quickly and comfortably by roads, made from the body of a passenger car (Subaru Legacy). Other vehicles with this same concept are the Audi Allroad, the BMW X3 and X5 and the Volvo XC 70.

Faced with these cars, the Subaru Outback 3.0 R has the advantage, for driving on steep areas, its lowest wheelbase. The Subaru Outback has a battle clearly lower than its rivals.

For the shape of the bodywork is adapted worse than other models of this kind to travel very rugged areas, or to face steep slopes and ramps (things that are not usually give in roads).

Another drawback for this is its lowest headroom between the body and soil, while the Subaru Outback has won two centimeters regarding his predecessor. In the case of R 3.0, the hardness of the suspension and his trip make it less comfortable than other models, such as the Volvo XC70.

Ultimately, the Subaru Outback is not the best choice, regardless of price, to travel on off-road, especially if the roads are to deal with abrupt. On the other hand, is probably best to move fast on asphalt roads in tacks, with a certain tact sports, lacking the other models.

Regardless of differences of stability and ability to move about the countryside, which excels in the Subaru Outback is its price, that difference was also seen in the previous comparative sheet.

The most powerful version of the Subaru Outback and equipped, costs 4,000 euros less than the Volvo XC 90 2.5T Auto and has 36 horses more power. Faced with the equivalent Audi and BMW in the distance is even greater. The BMW X5 3.0 iA costs nearly 8.00 euros and has 14 more horses less power.

This difference in price is not then qualified by the difference in equipment, as the Subaru Outback more powerful equipment is virtually identical to that of its rivals.

For those who want a car of this type, the least costly option is the Subaru Outback 2.5i, for 31,500 euros. The next option price is the Volvo XC D5, which costs 8,500 euros more and that is the least costly alternative for those who need a diesel engine, as Subaru does not have at the moment of such engines.

In less expensive versions of each model there are differences in equipment, as the Subaru Outback 2.5i with manual gearbox can not bring stability control system; nonetheless remains the cheapest option.

The steering wheel of the Subaru Outback is adjustable for height, but not in depth. The seats allow a low driving position and the pedals are well placed.

Apart from the potential qualities of the engine, there are other factors that help. It is clearly less heavy than its rivals (between 350 and 500 kg less), has better aerodynamics and penetration ratio, although not know the data front surface; owing to its size seems less than its rivals. All this translates into less drag (which greatly influences consumption by road) and to a lesser weight, which affects city and highway if it is not very flat.

To get a good amount of weight, Subaru uses aluminum in the rear gate, located in the beam behind the front bumper and chassis components such as support of the management. But not only has achieved a lower weight by aluminium. In 45% of the frame using a high strength steel, according to Subaru reduces reinforcement materials and therefore the weight. All this has been achieved, according to Subaru, while clearly improves the rigidity of the body compared with the previous version.

The five-speed automatic gearbox, only available with this engine runs smoothly and quickly enough. It can be used in manual mode sequential or automatic mode. A box of six marches allow for a more comfortable movement in highway or freeway, but current relations move to allow 120 kph clearly below 3,000 rpm and 160 km / ha that is comfortable 3,600 rpm.
