We're all set to bring you a broad selection of Subaru's most popular models to date.

Inside Information
Overall, only a few minor changes have been made to this year's models. Those of you searching for a 2018 Subaru Outback Near Mobile AL will be among the first to experience its quieter cabin made possible by window and wheel-well modifications as well as upgrades to its all-wheel-drive transmission. Complaints weren't actually circulating over road noise in previous models, but Subaru is well known for taking a proactive approach to its designs rather than a reactive one.
Upcoming trim levels start with the baseline 2.5i and culminate with the 3.6R Touring on the other end of the spectrum. Plenty of standard and optional interior features will be available. Some are classic favorites from the current models while others are making their debut this time around.
Options vary depending on trim level, but some of the good things to come include an enlarged 8-inch touch screen for the Outback's infotainment system, immediate feedback on traffic conditions via TomTom navigation and a full lineup of driver-assist options. Apple and Android compatibility have also been built into this year's Outback along with newly integrated voice recognition capability.
Exterior Design Details
Since the Subaru Outback got a complete revamp not all that long ago, the manufacturer isn't making a lot of considerable changes on the outside. Last year's roof rack balked at certain items based on owner feedback, so the 2018 version has been given a more user-friendly design with extra versatility built into those on higher trim levels. More than 8.5 inches of ground clearance complement its redesigned front end and make it even more capable than before in rough driving conditions.
About the Drive Train
A Subaru Outback Near Mobile AL from the Base level on up through the more well-equipped 2.5i Premium, Limited and Touring editions will have a 2.5-liter, flat-four under the hood, generating 174 pound-feet of torque. Once you get into the 3.6R Limited and Touring levels, you'll have a 3.6-liter, 6-cylinder pumping out 256 horsepower.
Both engines, regardless of trim level, work in tandem with a continuously variable transmission. This year's models also offer a manual shift mode for those times when you want to have a little extra fun along the way.
Safety Considerations
Quite a list of optional safety features accompanies the new Outback with rear cameras standard on the 2.5i Base model. Higher levels come with plenty of other possibilities, like lane-keeping and hill assist, intuitive headlights designed to dim for oncoming traffic and peer around curves as needed, collision alerts, lane departure warnings, automatic emergency braking and a variety of other elements designed to help keep you safe on the road.
Crash test ratings haven't been announced for the 2018 model, but it comes from a long line of champions. Authorities are predicting high scores in all areas for the latest Outback.
Efficiency
With engines designed for optimum efficiency and the CVT transmission in place to help aid in shifting and power transfer, the 2018 Subaru Outback Near Mobile AL is well on track with others in its class where economy is concerned. Subaru points to an estimated 32 miles per gallon for its 2.5i models.
Overall
Subaru has seen a consistent string of record breaking sales over the last several years, and 2018 looks equally promising. We're seeing the perfect blend of time-tested features and new aspects to make the 2018 Outback a new crowd favorite for the coming year.
When Subaru first burst onto the scene back in 1994, it banked on Crocodile Dundee fame to propel itself to stardom. Since then, it's established its place among the most popular vehicles on the market not only in America, but worldwide. You can still see a hint of its original sport utility wagon body style lingering beneath the surface, but it's certainly keeping up with its competitors on the inside and out.
