Subaru Outback Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1994–1998) — First Generation
The first-generation Subaru Outback comes in sedan and five-door estate forms. The estate’s rear hatch suits bulky luggage, while the sedan gives you a separate boot for everyday belongings.
Selected gasoline powertrains include the sedan’s 2.5 MT and 2.5 AT, plus the five-door estate’s 2.2 MT, all with all-wheel drive. The manual transmission lets you choose when to change gear, while the automatic reduces your workload in stop-start traffic. These examples represent part of the generation’s engine and transmission range.
