The 2015 Subaru Outback is a solid entrant in the midsize crossover category. It has an EPA-estimated 33 MPG highway, with symmetrical all-wheel drive that improves the vehicle's power, stability, and traction. The Lineatronic Continuously Variable Transmission helps the fuel efficiency of this vehicle. The Outback has the X-MODE feature which controls the drive systems, maximizes grip on non-ideal road conditions, and adjusts engine response for performance. It also has a feature called Hill Descent Control which handles steep inclines, useful for getting around mountain roads. The stock engine is a 175-hp 4-cylinder engine, with an option to add in a 256-hp 6-cylinder engine. Safety features abound on the Outback, with eight airbags controlled by an array of sensors.
