The aptly named 2024 Subaru Outback is a phenomenal mid-size SUV that tackles tough driving environments. The unique design of this all-road SUV means you can seamlessly switch from urban streets to off-road paths for your next weekend adventure. Learn about the features that allow the base Outback to travel the road less taken. more Four Off-Road Capabilities of the 2024 Subaru Outback 1. Ground Clearance The ground clearance of the Outback is 8.7 inches. This high ride height serves a few important purposes for your off-road driving, such as providing enough distance between the ground and the SUV's undercarriage to prevent damage traveling over craggy terrain, tall rocks, potholes, and other road obstructions. 2. AWD Drivetrain One of the best things about the Outback is Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. This four-wheel drivetrain system provides equal power to the front and rear wheels to optimize the acceleration, traction, and stability of the vehicle. An AWD system is ideal for off-roading since it reduces slippage on corners, helps the SUV travel uphill, and provides better weight distribution throughout the chassis. Along with this signature AWD drivetrain, the Outback has a Traction Control System. This advanced system uses sensors to detect when one or more wheels lose traction and uses the brakes to automatically regulate the wheelspin for more stable handling, even on slippery roads caused by mud and rain. 3. Towing Capacity The base Outback model boasts a towing capacity of 2,700 lbs, which is fantastic if your off-road adventures require extra-large cargo like a boat or a camper. With this towing capacity, you can easily haul small and medium-sized hitched trailers, flat-tow an ATV or other off-road vehicle, and more. Along with this towing capacity, drivers can purchase genuine Subaru accessories for the hitch area, such as a two-inch Thule hitch adapter or hitch-mounted carriers for mountain bikes if your next camping trip will include biking on trails. 4. X-MODE X-MODE is one of the standard mechanical features of the Subaru Outback. When X-MODE is turned on, the output of the engine and transmission is optimized to enhance the performance of the AWD drivetrain. This system reduces wheelspin and improves on-road traction, even if you are driving in low-traction conditions like ice, mud, snow, and heavy rain. Hill Descent Control is a vital feature of X-MODE. This feature can activate when the Outback is traveling downhill and is designed to improve handling for better safety. Hill Descent Control automatically controls the speed of the vehicle by pumping the brakes so you can travel downhill with less speed and more control. The Subaru Outback is prepared for every challenging weather and road condition. Test out the incredible handling of this iconic off-road vehicle when you visit Jim Keras Subaru Hacks Cross in Memphis, TN.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​As a leading Subaru dealer, we're proud to offer a full inventory of high-quality models featuring Subaru's superior Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. This drivetrain is designed to give drivers unmatched stability and traction, making Subaru all-wheel-drive models among the most trusted choices for handling all types of terrain. more The Ultimate Guide to Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Understanding Standard All-Wheel Drive Typical all-wheel-drive systems are designed to constantly monitor terrain conditions, distributing power to all four wheels when necessary. All-wheel-drive systems use sensors to monitor parameters such as throttle position, traction levels, and wheel speed, detecting slippage and redirecting power accordingly. Most modern all-wheel-drive systems include front, center, and/or rear differentials, which instantly distribute power to any wheel as needed and allow wheels on the same axle to spin at different speeds. All-wheel-drive systems are favored for their inherent off-road and all-terrain capabilities. These drivetrains offer superior control and versatility, delivering smooth handling and effortless maneuverability on everything from highways to rugged mountain trails. How Does Subaru's All-Wheel-Drive System Differ? Subaru describes its drivetrain as "symmetrical" due to the system's well-balanced design. The physical layout of the drivetrain in each Subaru is carefully engineered to achieve a low center of gravity and optimal weight distribution, creating the foundation for a controlled ride. The drivetrain's thoughtful design eliminates pulling caused by torque steer, while the drivetrain's symmetrical construction provides each Subaru with agile handling and precise cornering. The drivetrain features controlled, continuous torque distribution, ensuring a system that's always ready to respond to sudden changes in road or driving conditions. The drivetrain's impressively quick response times are made possible by the onboard Vehicle Dynamics Control system, which employs advanced sensors with real-time monitoring capabilities. What Is X-MODE? This feature is designed to work in tandem with Subaru's drivetrain to further enhance the all-wheel-drive system. Standard or available on popular Subaru models such as the Forester, Ascent, Crosstrek, Solterra, and Outback, X-MODE uses the drivetrain's sensors along with its own intelligent adjustment programs to equip your Subaru with the capacity to effortlessly climb steep, icy grades and traverse thick mud. Exploring the All-Wheel-Drive System in Subaru's Top Seller The Crosstrek has been one of Subaru's top sellers this year, and the compact SUV proudly boasts Subaru's all-wheel-drive system as a standard feature. In this model, the drivetrain is specifically designed to maintain optimal traction on rough roads, inclement weather, and during off-roading situations. The 2024 Crosstrek's drivetrain operates continuously in the background, monitoring your acceleration, braking inputs, and cornering. Thanks to Subaru's all-wheel-drive system, Crosstrek owners can enjoy a responsive ride, unbeatable efficiency, robust durability, and longevity, all while benefiting from minimal maintenance requirements. Subaru's proprietary all-wheel-drive system gives drivers confidence and control on the road like no other drivetrain. To experience this control firsthand, visit us at Jim Keras Subaru Hacks Cross in Memphis, TN, and we'll take your favorite Subaru model for a test drive.

Joyful Handling The BRZ complements its capable powertrain with a highly refined chassis. A sport-tuned and fully independent suspension is standard and includes a strut-type front suspension with lower L-arms and a double-wishbone rear suspension.

Quick-ratio power steering provides excellent feedback and effortless direction changes. Ventilated front and rear disc brakes quickly bring the car to a stop with the help of an electronic brakeforce distribution system. Larger, more powerful Brembo performance brakes are standard on the tS model. Driver-Oriented Interior Inside the BRZ, you'll find a 2+2 seating configuration and a racy design with nifty touches like red accent stitching for the shifter handle and digital displays on the climate control knobs.

There are lots of features that make the 2024 Subaru Outback a fantastic car. It has an incredible suspension, ample cargo space, and lots of standard, useful features that adventurous families will enjoy. It also has several safety features that'll benefit you during every journey. more 5 Safety Features of the 2024 Subaru Outback 1. Pre-Collision Braking Subaru EyeSight is standard on the Outback, and one of its features is Pre-Collision Braking. EyeSight has helped significantly reduce collisions resulting in injuries over the years, as you get more time to respond when a collision is likely. Your Outback constantly scans the road in front of you, always on the lookout for potential danger. If it spots danger in your path, then it'll send you an alert to give you time to respond to the problem. If you don't have time to respond when your Outback warns you about potential danger, it can automatically break to prevent or reduce the impact of a crash. 2. Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering Adaptive Cruise Control lets you set the distance you wish to keep between you and the vehicle driving in front of you. Your Outback then automatically adjusts it speed to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you. In the Outback, Cruise Control also has Lane Centring. This is a feature that helps you remain safely in the middle of your lane. The Outback identifies road markers and can monitor your position in relation to them. If you start getting too close to the next lane, then the car uses visual and audible cues to let you know that you need to correct your steering. The Outback can also provide corrective steering if needed. 3. Blind-Spot Monitoring Blind-Spot Monitoring is an available feature that makes changing lanes safer. After you signal that you're changing lanes, your Outback will send you an alert if there's a vehicle in your blind spot that's approaching at a higher speed than you're driving at. Once the car has passed, you can safely change lanes. 4. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert If there's a pedestrian, cyclist, or vehicle approaching from the side while you're backing up, then your Outback can detect them and send you a warning. The available feature makes it safer for you and everybody around you when you're backing out of a parking space or your driveway. The feature even lets you know which side the obstacle is approaching from. 5. DriverFocus Your Outback is always on the lookout for signs that your attention is wavering while driving. If DriverFocus detects you're drowsy or distracted, then it gently reminds you to refocus on your driving. Receiving an alert from DriverFocus can also let you know it's time to take a break and refresh. Come explore the Outback's safety features at Jim Keras Subaru Hacks Cross in Memphis, TN today.

With a complete redesign and refreshed technology, the 2024 Subaru Impreza is ready for just about anything your heart desires. The latest evolution of this popular hatchback offers three trim levels and plenty of personality to give you the most out of every drive. more 4 Reasons the 2024 Subaru Impreza Stands Out 1. Subaru Boxer Engine Nearly every Subaru features the unique Boxer engine, a balanced, compact design with a horizontal layout that enhances handling, smoothness, and stability on every drive. You'll feel the most difference during sharp turns and while traversing uncertain terrain because its lower center of gravity gives it more ability to respond and grip. The 2024 Impreza's 2.0-liter Boxer engine delivers 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.5-liter for an extra power bump is standard in the RS trim. 2. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive When it comes to driving in rain, snow, and on rough road surfaces, Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive offers unmatched capability and driving engagement, and comes standard across the 2024 Impreza lineup. It's designed to optimize traction and continuously evaluates the car's acceleration, braking, and cornering in real time to deliver the right amount of power to all four wheels. Should one of the wheels slip, the system will instantly transfer power to the wheels with the most grip. 3. Hatchback Flexibility The 2024 Impreza offers practical flexibility whether you need to haul passengers, cargo, or both. It seats up to five people and provides 20.4 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats for luggage, gear, or groceries, which more than doubles to 56 cu.ft. when the rear 60/40 split seat back is folded flat. The cargo area features two grocery bag hooks and four tie-down hooks to conveniently organize your belongings and keep items from jostling around. If you need more cargo flexibility, especially for hauling outdoor gear like bikes, skis, or kayaks, all models come with standard roof crossbar mounting points. A convenient plastic step near the rear seats gives you easier access to the roof to ensure your cargo is secure. 4. SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia The Base Impreza trim comes with a dual 7-inch STARLINK Multimedia system for all your infotainment needs. The high-resolution LCD touchscreen offers multitouch gesture displays, wireless smartphone connectivity via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, HD radio, and hands-free calling and text messaging capability. With the two higher trims, you'll get STARLINK Multimedia Plus, which includes a larger, 11.6-inch screen and extra features like USB-C ports and 4G LTE Wi-Fi capability.

Whether your priority is sporty performance, a budget-friendly price tag, or a luxurious interior, there's a 2024 Subaru Legacy to match. We look closely at the five trim levels to help you decide which model best suits your needs. more Trim Levels of the 2024 Subaru Legacy 1.

The sleek interior comes with the STARLINK infotainment system, giving you a seven-inch multimedia touchscreen and four speakers. Subaru has also included handy technologies to elevate the driving experience, including a rearview camera and high beam assist. Eyesight driver assist technology monitors the traffic around your vehicle to optimize cruise control, apply pre-collision braking, and warn you if you stray outside of your lane. 2. Premium Next is the Premium which ups the ante on desirable elements, such as heated body-colored exterior mirrors with integrated indicator signals. Drivers receive a comfort boost from a 10-way power-adjustable seat with two-way lumbar support and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Dual-zone automatic climate control regulates the temperature throughout the cabin and an infotainment upgrade introduces an enlarged 11.6-inch display. 3. Limited The Limited builds on the Premium, with entry being made via keyless access. The exterior receives 18-inch gray wheels while an interior makeover introduces leather-trimmed upholstery. Another comfort upgrade sees a 12-way power driver's seat and an eight-way passenger seat installed at the front. Rear passengers also enjoy some relief in the colder months from heated seats and all occupants benefit from the improved sound emanating from the Harman Kardon 12-speaker audio system. 4. Sport The Sport is built for speed, switching out the engine for a more powerful 260-horsepower 2.4-liter direct-injection turbocharged one. A sport-tuned suspension and Subaru's SI-DRIVE drivetrain management system improve overall performance and ensure a smoother ride. Sporty design elements match the athletic performance, such as a magnetite gray metallic spoiler and a dual exhaust with stainless-steel tips. Black and gray upholstery with red stitching and gunmetal gray accents jazz up the interior and a power moonroof makes the cab more light and airy. 5. Touring XT Bringing all the luxurious and convenient elements together is the Touring XT. Although it loses the sporty design elements of the Sport, it retains the turbocharged engine and gains additional safety tech, including a 180-degree front view monitor and an enhanced wide-angle camera for faster detection of traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists in your path.

Visiting your Subaru dealer for a regular fluid check can make a big difference to the health, longevity, and performance of your vehicle, yet some drivers still overlook this routine maintenance task. Let's look more closely at the different fluids used by your vehicle, and why keeping them at the correct level is so important. more When Should I Visit My Subaru Dealer for Regular Fluid Checks? Most drivers are aware that their vehicle requires regular servicing at least once a year, and during this service, the condition and levels of its fluids will be checked. Of course, if you notice any worrying symptoms that indicate your fluids may need to be checked earlier, then you should take your car to a mechanic at an earlier stage. Which Fluids Need Checking? Engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield wiper fluid all need to be checked on a regular basis. If any of these fluids become contaminated or drop below the recommended level, your Subaru could suffer negative consequences. The Importance of Fluids If your car's engine doesn't have sufficient oil, its moving parts cannot be properly lubricated. As a result, the friction generated by the moving components will cause heat to build up, which could eventually damage the engine or even cause a fire. Even if you have enough oil, if it is contaminated with dirt and debris it could cause blockages that negatively impact your vehicle's performance. If your coolant level is too low, your engine temperature cannot be properly regulated, while contaminated or low levels of transmission, brake, or power steering fluid will eventually cause problems with those vital vehicle components. ​Plus, of course, without wiper fluid, you won't be able to ​keep your windshield clean to ensure a clear ​view of the road ahead. Can I Check My Fluids Myself? You can check the levels of your vehicle's fluids yourself to make sure that they are not too low. In fact, it's wise to check your own fluids regularly, preferably on a monthly basis, so you can spot any potential problems at an early stage and get them rectified. You should also check fluid levels before heading off on a long drive. Can I Change My Fluids Myself? While checking your fluids and topping them up yourself may be possible, when it comes to fluid changes and flushes, it's best to get professional help since this is a task that requires expert knowledge and skill. Some drivers prefer to visit a mechanic to check and top up their fluids too for greater peace of mind that everything is in good working order. If you want to arrange for your fluids to be checked, or you've reached your recommended service interval, call Jim Keras Subaru Hacks Cross in Memphis, TN, today. We're here to make sure your Subaru is in perfect condition and is safe to drive.
