2006 Subaru Tribeca

The Subaru B9 Tribeca is the Japanese carmaker's attempt at a midsize 4x4. Built on the same all-wheel-drive platform as the Outback, the Tribeca is longer, wider and much inches taller than the Outback, and offers five or seven-passenger seating. The overall styling is controversial, while the interior attempts to be more modern and upscale than competitive makes, with an amazingly unique design. The oddly-named B9 Tribeca is powered by Subaru's 3.0-litre horizontally-opposed flat six-cylinder "boxer" engine, a rare type of engine design shared only with Porsche. Also standard is a five-speed automatic gearbox. The B9 Tribeca offers power windows, electric mirrors, standard roll sensing system, ABS brakes with Brake Assist, CD stereo, and standard two-position memory system for front driver's seat and more. Options include reverse-assist sensors, remote starter, and rear cargo cover with shade-type functionality. Safety features include dual front and side airbags.
