About the Subaru Outback BP
The BP-generation Outback represents a high point for Subaru's 'Sport Utility Wagon' concept, offering a more sophisticated, European-influenced design than its predecessors. Built on the fourth-generation Legacy platform, it features a lower centre of gravity than traditional SUVs, resulting in superior handling while maintaining 200mm of ground clearance for light off-roading. The 2.5i trim uses the reliable EJ253 boxer engine, providing a balanced power delivery suited for long-distance touring. It is particularly noted by collectors for being the final generation to feature Subaru's signature frameless door windows and for its exceptional build quality.
