Subaru's all-new 2010 Outback "Sport Utility Wagon" is arriving with a base price of $22,995 (*add $695 to all of the prices for destination and delivery), the same dollar amount that was adhered to the window of the outgoing 2009 model. The standard model is fitted with a revised 2.5-liter normally-aspirated flat-four rated at 170 hp and mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The stick shift can be swapped for Subaru's new Lineartronic CVT, but it will bump the base price up to $23,995.

The starting price of the 3.6R model is $27,995 – that is $4,000 less than the MSRP of the equivalent 2009 Outback, and none of the new models require premium fuel. The flagship 3.6R Limited starts at $30,995.All 2010 Outback models are equipped with Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard equipment.

CHERRY HILL, N.J., April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru of America, Inc. today announced pricing for the all-new 2010 Subaru Outback®. The fourth-generation of the World's First Sport Utility Wagon® is a roomier and more capable interpretation of the vehicle that launched the crossover trend 15 years ago. Distinguished by bolder and crisper styling, the all-new 2010 Subaru Outback delivers enhanced performance, comfort and economy with the introduction of an all-new chassis and the new Subaru Lineartronic™ CVT (continuously variable transmission).

Capability is enhanced with a segment-first roof rail and integrated crossbar design, 18.5 gallon fuel tank and an improved 8.7 inches of ground clearance. Interior volume increases 7 percent compared to the previous generation yet the overall length is almost one-inch shorter than the '09 model. Rear legroom increases almost 4 inches and total cargo capacity is now an impressive 71.3 cubic feet -- an increase of 6 cubic feet. Despite the larger size, fuel economy is estimated to increase by 1 MPG in both City and Highway modes with CVT.

As with all Subaru vehicles, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard, which helps driving performance by enhancing traction regardless of weather conditions.
