At Subaru, we’re committed to building a lasting, rewarding relationship with you and the world we share. We
start by building our vehicles to last—it’s why 97% of Outback models we’ve sold in the last 10 years are still
on the road today.1 We also share your desire for a cleaner, greener world. Select 2015 Outback 2.5i models
achieve Partial Zero Emission Vehicle—PZEV2—status, because of their exceptionally low emissions. What’s
more, in 2004, Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc., (SIA) became the first manufacturing facility in the U.S.
to reach zero-landfill status—nothing from its manufacturing efforts ever goes into a landfill. Subaru is also
headquartered in a zero-landfill office in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Built to take you to the place you’ve never been.

Make every

The 2015 Outback helps you seize every free moment with a plethora of standard drop-
everything-and-go features. Forget the aftermarket, every Outback comes standard with
retractable roof cross bars with tie-downs, so you’ll always arrive fully geared up.
Also a standard feature, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive featuring push-button
X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control helps you conquer rougher terrain. When you want
to spend more time adventuring and less time preparing, there’s no other choice.
With the Outback, versatility comes standard.

Versatile and Capable

Standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance
gives the Outback SUV-level capability in a crossover package. It’s almost in a class
of its own with another standard feature: X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control—which
provides added control and enhanced confidence over rougher terrain at the push of
a button. And you’ll always arrive fully geared up, thanks to standard retractable roof

cross bars and tie-downs, 108.1 cubic feet of interior volume1, 60/40 folding rear

Whether you go with the 33 MPG2 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine, or the

When the doors are opened or unlocked with the key fob, LED lights on the
side-view mirrors will help light the way, casting light on all four doors and the
ground near the vehicle.

They can also help reduce headlight glare in traffic. When the Interior Auto-dimming
Rearview Mirror detects excessive light from the rear of the vehicle, the side-view
mirrors automatically dim, helping to keep the light out of your eyes. The brighter the light,
the dimmer the mirrors and the better you’ll be able to see.
