2010 Subaru Outback

Outback

The earth isn’t disposable.

Neither is a Subaru.
The Outback may be uniquely designed for getting out there, but at Subaru, we put just as much
emphasis on not leaving it out there. First, we build vehicles for maximum durability, because
more time spent on the road is less time in a landfill. It’s why 94% of the vehicles we’ve built in
the last 10 years are still on the road today.1 We also work diligently to cut waste before the car
ever rolls out of the factory. In 2004, Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (SIA) became the first
manufacturing facility in the U.S. to reach zero landfill status—nothing from its manufacturing
efforts ever goes into a landfill. Subaru facilities in Japan have achieved similar goals in reusing
and recycling. And, because clear skies are just as important as clean landscapes, the Outback is
one of the few SUVs to achieve Partial Zero Emission Vehicle—PZEV2—status and SmartWay®3
certification. It achieves such cleanliness and efficiency without the negative environmental
impact required to manufacture many vehicles with battery-based drive systems, and without
compromising performance and versatility.

possibilities.
A new hobby. A new tradition. A new way to challenge yourself. A new adventure
every day. Subaru vehicles are uniquely designed and equipped to get you out, to
keep you going, and to inspire you to embrace more of life’s opportunities. It all starts
with the balance of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Standard on every Subaru,
it gives you the stability and control to drive where you want, when you want—always
with the greatest confidence. That poise is matched with the reassurance of being
protected by award-winning safety. It’s why we hear again and again, “I love my Subaru.”

Love. It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

All wheels. All roads. All the time.
By combining the balance and road adhesion of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
with the stability of the SUBARU BOXER® engine, Subaru builds more than cars—we
build confidence. Confidence that can help you enjoy getting there as much as being
there. And can help you feel the freedom to live more of the life you love.

meet the road. Wet or dry. Rough or smooth. A sure grip of the road can give you the control
to step around danger. The assurance to add more destinations to your list. The engagement
to delight in every mile. Subaru has spent nearly 40 years developing a system for traction and
control that employs an almost perfectly symmetrical layout to maximize power delivery, and to
generate balance and stability for total control in almost any condition.

Better Balance
Every Subaru is built for AWD from the ground up. Each one
features a longitudinally mounted engine that feeds power to the
all-wheel drive system in a straight line. Which results in a balanced
drivetrain with almost total side-to-side symmetry that is free of the
extra components some other systems need to route power. This
symmetry and balance means stability that helps make driving your
Subaru safer and agility that makes it more fun.

Quicker Response Efficient Design

There are only four small patches of rubber that keep you in Because some systems lack the simplicity of Subaru Symmetrical
control of your vehicle. The more your tires are engaged, the AWD, they not only sacrifice efficiency, but also can incur more

 2010 Subaru Outback
Outback

The earth isn’t disposable.

Neither is a Subaru.
The Outback may be uniquely designed for getting out there, but at Subaru, we put just as much
emphasis on not leaving it out there. First, we build vehicles for maximum durability, because
more time spent on the road is less time in a landfill. It’s why 94% of the vehicles we’ve built in
the last 10 years are still on the road today.1 We also work diligently to cut waste before the car
ever rolls out of the factory. In 2004, Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (SIA) became the first
manufacturing facility in the U.S. to reach zero landfill status—nothing from its manufacturing
efforts ever goes into a landfill. Subaru facilities in Japan have achieved similar goals in reusing
and recycling. And, because clear skies are just as important as clean landscapes, the Outback is
one of the few SUVs to achieve Partial Zero Emission Vehicle—PZEV2—status and SmartWay®3
certification. It achieves such cleanliness and efficiency without the negative environmental
impact required to manufacture many vehicles with battery-based drive systems, and without
compromising performance and versatility.

Find out more about our efforts to 10%

keep it cleaner and greener.
