new Stereo: SRSLabs WOW stereo system for certain models. The WOW system provides "...an immersive 3D stereo experience. The natural and spacious 3D sound field allows for superb sound from any listening position – eliminating the sweet spot.  SRS WOW also shapes a maximized bass response using sculpted filters and driver physics to go beyond the low-frequency limitations of speakers, resulting in big bass without the need for a subwoofer. In addition, SRS WOW electronically elevates the sound image to an optimal ear level without physically moving the speakers from the base of the door panels and creates a phantom center speaker”  from www.srslabs.com

new SI Drive (Subaru Intelligent), on turbo XT models. The knob on the center console provides 3 driver selectable engine throttle response modes: 'Intelligent' mode for a balance of economy and power, 'Sport' mode provides more acceleration, 'Super Sport' mode provides most responsive throttle.
new VDC (vehicle dynamic control)  all wheel drive traction control system on Limited XT and LL Bean models. This is the first year the VDC system has been offered on anything other than the Outback VDC and Tribeca models. VDC stability traction control system measures variables such as steering input, braking and vehicle angle, and applies individual brakes and/or reduces engine power to counteract skids or slides to help keep you in control.


The Outback is classed as a light truck for CAFE fuel economy reasons. 'Cafe' stands Corporate Average Fuel Economy. This doesn't affect safety, economy or mean the car will tip over or be unsafe like a SUV. Many other vehicles are classed this way including Honda CRV, Dodge minivan, Toyota Rav4, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Honda Odyssey, Honda Element, Cadillac ESV, Chrysler Pacifica etc etc. Here is the official statement from Subaru.
