EXTERIOR
The 2024 Subaru Outback has the same silhouette graced by its predecessors, with a fine finesse of refinement done on it to make it exceptional and outstanding. It has a blend of ruggedness and modernity, making it a darling for lads who want it as a daily driver, commuting from Kabete to Upperhill on weekdays, and going to attend a safari rally in Naivasha over the weekend.
LED headlights & daytime running lights flank a gloss black or chrome-accented grille adorned with the iconic 6-star Subaru emblem. The lower front bumper has fog lights for excellent illumination when driving on dusty roads in Kitengela. The side profile features body-colored door handles and mirror caps. Crossbars enhance its ruggedness while at the same time providing a foundation to add a roof rack for additional storage space. The rear maintains the rugged theme, featuring a robust rear bumper and a power liftgate. To add body kits for a sleek appearance, visit: SAFARI SPARES
INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The 2024 Subaru Outback interior is all about practicality, space, and comfort. If you want unmatched luxury, we can get you the Lexus LX 700h; if your budget is quite tight, the GWM Haval H7 will be your saving grace. The dashboard is covered in hard plastic for durability; the driver has excellent visibility and paddle shifters for an engaging feel.
The first row has plenty of legroom and headroom. The second row is equally impressive, allowing taller passengers to travel comfortably from Nairobi to Meru without leg pain. The large windows allow natural light to flood the cabin for improved ambiance, and for enhanced connectivity, the occupants have access to Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, allowing them to livestream Citizen TV news by Jeff Koinange. The boot space is big enough to carry 5 suitcases; if they don’t fit, you can retract the rear seats. But if you have an extra bunch of bananas you want to ferry from Kisii to go and sell in Nairobi, you need to buy a Toyota Dyna.

PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The 2024 Subaru Outback is not a child’s play when it comes to performance. It is for that reason that government entities love using them to patrol around. Whether you buy the naturally aspirated engine or the turbocharged powertrain, you get real value for your money. On the highway, let’s take to Kitale-Webuye road; the Outback is very composed and predictable. It has low-end torque that allows it to seamlessly overtake slow-moving trailers transporting sugarcane to the Nzoia sugar factory. Safety remains paramount. It comes standard with a blind spot monitor, parking sensors, brake assist, and a rear-cross traffic alert.
