EXTERIOR
The 2025 Subaru Outback has a bold, rugged, and commanding exterior design. LED headlights and daytime running lights come in handy for a contemporary look, as the large grille allows cool air to reach the engine for optimized performance. Black plastic cladding on the lower part of the vehicle protects its body components from scratches and dents.
The side profile has a long wheelbase, 17-inch alloy wheels in lower grades that inject maximum flair, and 19-inch alloy wheels in higher grades. The crossbars on the roof allow you to add a roof rack, creating extra cargo space, especially when you are going for a family vacation in Diani. The rear features a roof spoiler for enhanced aerodynamics and a power liftgate. The Subaru Outback is available in a spectrum of colors. To add body kits for a sleek look, visit: SAFARI SPARES
INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The 2025 Subaru Outback interior is strong on practicality and light on luxury. If you really value luxury, we can get you the Lexus LX 700h. The first row has plenty of legroom and headroom. The second row is equally impressive, offering ample knee room and headroom. An 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system is embedded with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto for enhanced connectivity, allowing you to stream live Lynn Ngugi’s podcast while you are driving back to your home in Roysambu after work.
The Outback’s wide cargo floor gives you more space to carry several pieces of luggage. Four suitcases are enough. Past that, you need to add a Maxus T90 to your parking garage.

PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The 2025 Subaru Outback does not mince words when it comes to performance. The flat-four engine has been tried, tested, and proven. Take it to the Southern Bypass and feel its naturally aspirated power doing wonders. No wonder the DCI love them. The CVT transmission has really been improved to be responsive; you have paddle shifters if you want an engaging driving experience, and because safety is paramount, the Eyesight technology, which hosts blind spot monitor, lane departure warning, brake assist, amongst many other features, ensures you live up to your 90th birthday. Off the tarmac, the symmetrical AWD does a perfect job on moderate terrains. In extreme terrains, you might need to really consider the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series V8.
