Introduction

Hello everyone and welcome to this video where we'll be track testing and off-road testing the 2015 Subaru Outback 2.5 I Limited. This is an SUV from Subaru featuring a 2.5 liter boxer four-cylinder producing 175 horsepower, which we'll be comparing to other models such as the Ford Edge, Jeep Cherokee, Kia Sorento, and Nissan Murano.

Drawbacks of the 2015 Subaru Outback

The 2015 Subaru Outback was lacking in performance against the competition, although there is a six-cylinder offered. What it lacked in performance it made up for in practicality. The Subaru was significantly cheaper and more fuel efficient than the competition. It was also the lightest weight of the group, offering plenty of cargo space depending on the trim. It can tow up to 3,000 pounds.

Performance Test

The performance test took place on an abandoned airstrip with comfortable seats that were pretty wide and had a decent amount of cushioning. Checking visibility out the front and rear was great, with pretty much great visibility all around. Checking blind spot was good, so everything about this as far as visibility is quite good. There was a large storage area with a removable tray, cupholders to fit a phone nicely, and a good storage compartment up front that was pretty intuitive and simple to use. The climate control system was also pretty good, along with the infotainment system, which had an upgraded touchscreen. There were controls on the steering wheel and paddle shifters mounted to it.

Acceleration Testing

The 2015 Subaru Outback performed well in acceleration testing, not having much torque overall compared to other models like the Mazda CX-5. However, we popped the car into reverse and it was very quick for a parking test. We visited our friend Herman the dinosaur who had been hanging out there all day, imagining he's getting quite bored with great visibility with this rear view camera that looked to be high-definition, so good resolution to it.

Slalom Testing

The 2015 Subaru Outback went on to the slalom testing where we tried to get to about 25 lots of tire spin and lots of understeer. However, it seemed to do okay through that. The break test showed a lot of pedal vibration from the ABS kicking in but it's not very strong. The understeer was pretty good as you could see.

Off-Road Testing

So now let's get into off-road testing. BEC has eight point seven inches of ground clearance, which is more than most traditional SUVs have. Yes, we know we cross Everton so we've got the ground clearance fifteen. It also has X mode a little o that tailors the works of the CVT to bring you a little bit of torque down a little bit lower and a little more accessible. It also tailors the traction and stability control system for high slip environment, okay, it also adds senior hill descent control which is pressure not going downhill here but so you wouldn't have to use the pedals or just let go of the brake, you would just let the car comes down at the very low speed.

The 2015 Subaru Outback has a lot of features that make it a capable vehicle off-road. With its eight point seven inches of ground clearance and X mode a little o, it can handle rough terrain with ease. The traction and stability control system is also designed to work well in high slip environments, making it a great choice for those who need a reliable vehicle for off-road adventures.

compared models actually I have a full review of this vehicle so you can check the video description for that this will just be a quick little performance test held on an abandoned airstrip comfortable seats pretty wide decent amount of cushion to them though checking visibility great out the front and great out the rear actually pretty much great visibility all around checking your blind spot is good so everything about this as far as visibility is quite good large storage area removable tray you've got cupholders you can fit a phone here real nicely which is nice and then you've got a good storage compartment up front as well pretty intuitive simple to use climate control system and this infotainment system pretty good touchscreen on it that Subaru has upgraded to lots of controls on your steering wheel you also have paddle shifters which are mounted to the wheel ok acceleration testing in the 2015 subaru outback 2.5 punch you to start not all that much torque overall mazda cx5 there we will go ahead and pop this into reverse very quick parking test visit our friend Herman the dinosaur he's been hanging out there all day I imagine he's getting quite bored great visibility with this rear view camera and actually looks to be high-definition so good resolution to it and then just a touch with Herman the dinosaur and then we'll get off and go test out the Easter Outback on the slalom try and get to about 25 lots of tire spin and lots of understeer but it seemed to do okay actually through that and our break test a lot of pedal vibration from the ABS kicking in but it's not very strong pretty good understeer as you can see and that's the end of our test so off-road testing the 2015 Subaru Outback now you can give your spiel if you want why is this

let go of the brake you just let the cart comes down at the very low speed okay yeah X Modi's new route 15 its standard at all all Outbacks we migrated it over from the Forester okay introduced to 14 insert the Forester trim level and it's on all our backs this particular one is the 2.5 I limited I was at our top of line four-cylinder powertrain 33 miles beyond highway this one has every option on it's got the eyesight system up here the two stereo cameras look forward for Lane era for the adaptive cruise so cruise control collision avoidance yeah actually they're the first adaptive cruise I was in was that legacy and it won me over I love adaptive cruise control you just said it forget it yeah it's so nice yeah our systems nice and that it's all integrated about the mirror there inside the windshield you don't have a good uh clean it suite recondition Swarek money on missions if somebody backs into you in a parking lot it doesn't crack the sensor and cost you sure the better part of a six-month paycheck yeah and the windshield wipers are constantly cleaning the surface in front of it right so I checked cars with ice I have a third wheel washer fluid squirter what do we call that hello so it ensures that the area even gets over yeah okay so you could just sponsor one of these month but over on the wipers that's great a couple times going to work finehello everyone and welcome
