Interior Illumination
Interior lighting was a focus for our designers – there are five map lights, plus the second row of seats has foot lamps, and rear doors include red courtesy lights to assist vehicle entry and exit. There’s also a glovebox light making it easy to locate small items.
Engine
The Subaru Tribeca incorporates the performance and drivability of a sports car with the vitality of a luxury SUV.
The world-renowned horizontally-opposed Subaru Boxer engine combines smooth linear acceleration, precise engine response and mountains of low-to-mid range torque for superior driving performance on the highway or off the beaten track. With improved fuel efficiency along with the benefits of constant All-Wheel Drive, this is one SUV that really makes sense.
Subaru 3.6-litre DOHC Boxer Engine*
Tribeca is powered by a newly designed lightweight 3.6-litre six cylinder horizontally opposed Boxer engine. It produces 190 Kilowatts of power at 6000 rpm and 350 Newton meters of torque at 4000 rpm. It offers an impressive braked towing capacity of 2000 kg with a download weight of 160 kg – ideal for hauling mid-size caravans and recreational boat trailers.
Tribeca features our Dual Active Valve Control System (DAVCS), ensuring optimum power and torque output, complemented by improved fuel consumption and low exhaust emissions. The economical new engine returns a combined fuel consumption figure of 11.6 litres per 100 km, making it an efficient alternative to other large capacity engines. Linked to the Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, it’s a formidable combination, underlined by our reputation for great engineering, durability and reliability.

Performance
Electronically controlled 5-speed SPORTSHIFT* automatic transmission.
The innovative Subaru transmission technology has been brilliantly designed. The electronically controlled, 5-speed automatic features gear lever-controlled SPORTSHIFT* that gives you the option to instantly change up or down a gear via the stick shifter, using ‘direct’ electro-hydraulic control.
The intelligent SPORTSHIFT* features active torque split, which distributes torque to the front and rear wheels smoothly and quickly depending on your driving conditions and style. The five-speed manual has been meticulously engineered to complement our Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine to provide optimum power delivery across the full range of driving conditions, leading to smooth gear changes and reduced noise, vibration and harshness.

Subaru Intelligent Chassis Design (SI-Chassis)
A newly developed Subaru Intelligent Chassis and fully independent suspension system provides worldclass control and stability, particularly when cornering. Light, yet strong and rigid components are used, with finely tuned suspension geometry and dynamics producing outstanding handling and consistent contact with the road.
The engine mounting position is low for an even lower centre of gravity and rigidity to improve stability. McPherson strut type independent front suspension, a new double wishbone rear suspension system and power-assisted rack and pinion steering combine to provide a smooth, controlled ride with excellent road holding.
The double wishbone rear suspension sits low, under the floor so it does not intrude into the spacious, rear cargo area. All links are attached to the sub frame, which ensure vibrations from the road surface are absorbed by the sub frame, resulting in a more comfortable drive.
Collision avoidance
Safety starts with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive offers greater traction in a wide variety of conditions. The foundation of our collision avoidance technology, our Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system offers superior grip to that of two wheel drive or part time AWD systems - that is why Tribeca is among the safest in its class or collision avoidance.
On tight corners, wet roads, in snow and on muddy tracks, Tribeca achieves optimum traction. The ideal balance of the Symmetrical drive train provides extra control, while the Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine sits low and flat in the engine bay, underlying the ideal centre of gravity.
Sophisticated Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA).
The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is a fundamental part of our safety philosophy, offering shorter stopping distances in emergencies. That is why we have ABS braking with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) as standard on the entire Tribeca range.
ABS braking uses independent sensors to detect and control braking on each wheel, providing the control required to allow the driver to brake and steer away from danger. EBD works with the ABS system to provide greater reassurance by automatically adjusting rear brake force to maximise stopping power. Subaru uses an advanced Bosch system four-sensor/ four channel/three phase ABS. To compliment this, Brake Assist ensures maximum braking force in emergency situations.
Collision protection
ANCAP - 5 Star Occupant Safety Rating
Subaru has achieved the maximum five-star rating for occupant safety for every model in our range, from the respected and independent Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP). To achieve this, Tribeca was crash tested by ANCAP and the car minutely inspected to check the structure and potential occupant effects. The ANCAP five-star symbol is your assurance of greater protection in the event of an accident.
Advanced Thinking in Body Design
Tribeca has a ring-shaped reinforcement safety cell, featuring steel reinforcements, crumple zones and rigid elements that protect occupants by absorbing energy in the event of a collision, reducing the risk of occupant injury. The flat Boxer engine’s low position also means it slides below the cabin in a severe frontal collision. The energy absorbing collapsible steering column and brake pedal helps minimise driver injury in the event of a frontal collision.
Superior Passenger Protection
Every Tribeca has active front seat head restraints, which minimises whiplash in the event of a collision. In a rear end collision they instantly move forward to support the head. Front seat passenger seatbelt indicator lights mean the driver can make a simple visual check, ensuring their front occupant has belted up. All three-rear seatbelts have Automatic Emergency Locking Retractors (A/ELR). When fully extended, they ratchet back into position, fully securing child safety seats. Front seatbelts have pretensioners and load limiters for enhanced safety.
Front, Front Side and Curtain Airbags
Every Tribeca has dual front, front side and curtain airbags offering greater head, chest and lower back protection from injury in a heavy collision. Dual front airbags feature two stage inflators, which control the airbag opening according to impact force. Sensors within the vehicles determine the severity of the impact and deploy the appropriate airbags as and if required.
DataDot Technology
All Subaru models are fitted with the latest advanced engine immobilisers and DataDot technology. Approximately 7,000 microscopic dots are laser-etched with your vehicle’s unique VIN, then applied to the components via a patented spraying process. Window labels warn potential thieves that your vehicle and all its component parts will be easily identifiable for the authorities.
