The 2010 Subaru Outback

The 2010 Subaru Outback has some new engine options based on their new models that were not available in the 2009 line. It seems that all of the 2010 Outback models have been made to give the consumer better gas mileage.

The 2010 Subaru Outback Limited 3.6R AWD model offers a 3.6L, 256hp, H6 engine, as opposed to 2009's 3L, 245hp, H6 engine. The Torque is now 247 @ 4400 RPM, as opposed to last year's 215 @ 4200. While still consisting of 4 valves, the new Outback has a 3630 displacement, up from the 2999 offered in the 2009 model. The 2010 offers a 3.6 x 3.6 inch bore/stroke, with the 2009 offering only 3.5 x 3.1. The compression ratio is down to 10.5:1, as opposed to the 2009 model's 10.7:1. The changes have resulted in a little better gas mileage, with the 2010 Subaru Outback getting an estimated 18mpg city and 25 highway, as opposed to the 2009's 17 and 24 respectively.

The engine options for the Subaru Outback 2.5i are pretty much the same as the 2009 model, with the exception of the horsepower and torque. While the engine is still a 2.5L, 170hp, H4, the new model's horsepower is 170 @ 5600 RPM, while the 2009 model was 170 @ 6000 rpm. The torque is also similar but now measures at 170 @ 4000 RPM, while last year it hit 170 @ 4400 RPM. This has resulted in the 2010 Outback 2.5i getting an estimated 22mpg city and 29mpg highway, which bests last year's model that was estimated at 20 and 26 respectively.
