Discover the new Subaru Outback’s bold SUV‑style design, advanced tech and off‑road capability set for an Indonesian debut – learn more now!
Subaru has started dropping hints that the all‑new Outback will soon make its Southeast Asian debut, with Indonesia slated as the first market. The automaker’s Indonesian subsidiary revealed plans to launch two new models this year, one at the upcoming Indonesia International Motor Show (GIIAS) and another later in the year.
Design Shift Toward a True SUV
The teaser images showcase a longer body, a higher stance and a boxy rear end – all hallmarks of the next‑generation Outback. Compared with previous generations, the fresh Outback adopts a more squared‑off silhouette, moving away from its wagon roots toward a genuine SUV look that aligns with Subaru’s broader design language.
Tech and Safety Upgrades
Inside, the cabin features a large central infotainment screen, a fully digital instrument cluster and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Subaru’s latest EyeSight driver‑assist suite returns with additional collision‑avoidance functions, keeping safety at the forefront.
Powertrain Options
Globally, the new Outback is expected to offer either a naturally aspirated 2.5‑litre Boxer engine or a turbocharged 2.4‑litre unit, both mated to a CVT and Subaru’s Symmetrical All‑Wheel Drive system. These powertrains are known for balanced performance and stability across a variety of road conditions. Subaru Indonesia has yet to confirm which engine configurations will be sold locally.
What’s Next for Subaru Indonesia?
In addition to the Outback, the automaker hinted at a second, undisclosed model that will arrive toward the end of the year, likely an SUV aimed at broadening the brand’s portfolio. The dual launches are part of Subaru’s strategy to deepen its presence in the Southeast Asian market ahead of the GIIAS exhibition.
