| Home / Subaru / List of Subaru OutbackModels without Timing Belt

The Subaru Outback is a mid-size crossover (D-segment in Europe) manufactured by Japanese automaker Subaru. The marque has used this name for two different models: a station wagon version, based on the Subaru Legacy since 1994, and another version based on the Subaru Impreza, called Outback Sport.

The station wagon version is halfway between a station wagon and an SUV. It is offered in front-wheel and all-wheel drive versions.

Among its competitors would be the family car versions of the Mazda 6, the Ford Mondeo, the Opel Insignia and the Volkswagen Passat. There are a total of 6 generations of this vehicle.
