Subaru Outback
The Subaru Outback is an all wheel drive crossover manufactured by Subaru since 1995 in sedan and station wagon body styles.
All vehicles with an "Outback" badge are equiped with AWD; there were no versions built with only front wheel drive.
Subaru introduced the Outback to the same markets where the company marketed the Legacy, using the name Outback, except in Japan, where it was known as the Legacy Grand Wagon — then renamed Legacy Lancaster in model year 1997; then renamed again in 2005 as the Legacy Outback.
The name Outback derives from the remote, arid areas of Australia. Australian actor Paul Hogan served as spokesman for the Outback for several years.
