The Good Times Roll on With the Updated 2019 Subaru Outback

It's little wonder to see that not much has changed across model years, as the new 2019 Subaru Outback makes its way over to our dealership out on Long Island. But there are some updates on this incredible crossover in its latest version, and if you find yourself in the market for a safe, reliable, and versatile ride for your travels around Sayville and Smithtown NY, the refreshed 2019 Outback will prove to be a great choice.

All-Weather Capabilities and Efficient Driving Make the New 2019 Subaru Outback a Top Pick for Long Island Area Drivers

'Don't fix what's not broken' is a mantra Subaru can live by, and you'll notice the 2019 Outback largely sticks to the previous version's capabilities and specs. That means the Outback continues to roll on with standard AWD, a great feature to have here on Long Island, where weather can be unpredictable at best, and downright dangerous at its worst during tough winter storms. The Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system is the perfect complement for this rugged crossover, giving you supreme levels of traction and control when roads are slick with ice and snow around Brentwood NY and Riverhead.

The standard AWD system pairs nicely with one of two engine options, both of which carry over from the 2018 edition of the Outback. The base engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, delivering a cool 175 horsepower and earning up to 32 mpg on the highway, a strong figure for a crossover of this size. If you're willing to sacrifice some fuel economy for a better performance, select the optional 3.6-liter six-cylinder, giving you 256 horsepower. With both engines, your Outback can tow a light trailer behind you, only amplifying this new Subaru's versatility.

The Well-Equipped 2019 Subaru Outback is Safer Than Ever for Your Travels Around Riverhead and Smithtown, NY

The main highlight that differentiates the new 2019 Outback from similarly designed previous versions is the inclusion of the Subaru EyeSight suite as a standard offering in the base trim level. In the base trim, this package includes adaptive cruise control, front collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist - a generous assortment of driver assistance features in a base level crossover. Moving up to higher trims will add blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

Beyond the generous amounts of standard and optional safety features, the new 2019 Outback, like other Subaru models, is loaded with handy tech for connectivity, convenience, and entertainment. Starting off, you'll have a sensible infotainment suite, centered on the touchscreen that allows you to connect with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto apps for music, podcasts, calling and hands-free texting functions, and more. You'll also have a rearview camera, a USB port and more in the base level. Moving up adds cargo management systems like nets and separators, a larger touchscreen, a power liftgate and upgraded sound equipment. In the highest trims, your Outback will become a near-luxury vehicle that showcases both the rugged adventurousness of the Subaru brand, as well as the kind of elegance you might want in a versatile everyday vehicle.

There's plenty that's new and exciting in the 2019 Subaru Outback, so if you seek a versatile, safe, and sensible crossover for your Long Island driving, you'll definitely want to check this update out.
