Subaru has expanded its Outback range by adding a new trim level, known as Touring.

Outback Touring models will show-off a dark gray grille and 18-inch wheels with a similar finish, low-profile roof rails and chrome badging and a new color option called Brilliant Brown.

The interior features a 7.0-inch Starlink Multimedia Navigation with voice control, heated steering wheel and brown leather seats with ivory stitching.

The new Outback range-topper is powered by either a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with 130kW, or a 3.6-liter six-cylinder, producing 190kW.

A new feature of the  2017 Outback model line is the Reverse Automatic Braking, which makes use of four ultrasonic sonar sensors located in the rear bumper cover, while the brand’s EyeSight Driver Assist tech with Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert is paired with the High Beam Assist.
