斯巴鲁近日在纽约车展发布了2018款傲虎改款车。对于很多消费者最关心的行李箱容积，在后排椅背直立情况下，储物容积为35.5立方英尺（约合1005立升）；如果将椅背放平可提升至73.3立方英尺（约合2075立升）。新车除了外观升级外，内装也进行了升级，采用了更好的内饰材质，同时驾乘感觉也更顺畅，车内更安静。设计人员通过改进转向和制动性能提升驾驶体验。新车将信息娱乐系统集成的显示屏尺寸从原来的6.2英寸提升至6.5英寸，另外可以选装8英寸显示屏和TomTom导航（提供三年免费使用）。此外，新车还配备了更显档次方向盘，更高效空调和随动转向LED大灯。这款车将于今夏在美国上市，新车同样搭载2.5升和3.6升引擎，前者功率131千瓦/175马力，扭矩236牛米；后者功率191千瓦/256马力，扭矩335牛米。这两台引擎都搭配CVT变速器和带有扭矩矢量输出功能的全驱系统。目前车厂还未公布新车价格，但预计新车起价不会比2017款的25645美元（约合人民币17.6万元）有很大变化。
2018 Subaru Outback Brings Well-Thought-Out Facelift To New York
Subi’s best-selling model improves on an already winning formula for the 2018 model year by gaining an assortment of cosmetic tweaks to keep it fresh and competitive.
If you’re top priority is cargo capacity with the rear seats in place, the Outback is the one to get as it offers 35.5 cubic feet of space. The situation changes once you fold down the rear bench as the Subaru offers 73.3 cu. ft.
Aside from the more chiseled exterior design, there are plenty of other novelties in tow for the 2018MY Outback. Subaru has updated the interior cabin with better materials and it has also made additional modifications to enable a smoother and quieter ride. The engineers also focused on creating a more enjoyable driving experience by tweaking the steering and brakes.
On the tech side, the 6.2-inch infotainment screen has been ditched in order to make room for a slightly bigger 6.5-inch setup. At an additional cost, there’s a larger 8-inch system with TomTom navigation with three years’ worth of free upgrades. An upmarket steering wheel has been added as well, along with a more efficient air conditioning system and steering responsive LED headlights.
Billed as being the “world’s first sport utility wagon,” the latest Outback will go on sale this summer in United States with the same 2.5-liter and 3.6-liter engines. The former delivers 175 horsepower (131 kilowatts) and 174 pound-feet (236 Newton-meters) of torque while the latter is rated at 256 hp (191 kW) and 247 lb-ft (335 Nm). Both of them are hooked up to a continuously variable transmission sending power to Subaru’s proprietary AWD system with torque vectoring capabilities.
There’s no word on pricing just yet, but we are not expecting any major changes compared to the outgoing 2017MY available from $25,645.
