Subaru’s most powerful SUV, the turbocharged Outback XT Turbo has arrived in New Zealand and demonstrators are now available to test drive from most Authorised Subaru Centres, with vehicles available to pre-order for a May delivery.
Over a hundred happy owners have picked up their pre-ordered Subaru Outback XT Turbos, which recently arrived on the first shipment. They have been enjoying the higher horsepower and towing capabilities the two models possess.
These all-new Subaru Outback XT variants – Outback XT Turbo and Outback XT Turbo Touring both feature a 2.4-litre turbocharged Subaru Boxer engine, with 183kW and 350Nm of torque. The XT models’ towing capabilities also scale new heights, ascending from the current 2.5 litre naturally aspirated Outback’s 2,000kg limit, to an impressive 2,400kg braked towing capacity.
Subaru of New Zealand’s Managing Director Wallis Dumper says “The new, turbocharged Outback XT has everything that makes our Outback a GOOAT (Greatest Outback Of All Time) but also adds a significantly more powerful Boxer engine, which allows Kiwis to tow their heavier boats, caravans and trailers. The Touring variant steps it up one notch further and comes with Nappa leather, heated seats and steering wheel, making it the perfect package.”
“We quickly sold out of our first allocation of these 2.4-litre-powered beauties and are now taking orders for the next shipment arriving in May.”
