When you set out to see more of the world,choose a vehicle that fits more of your life.
All wheels. All roads. All the time.By combining the balance and road adhesion of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with the stability of the Subaru BOXER® engine, Subaru builds more than cars?we build confidence. Confidence that can help you enjoy getting there as much as being there. And can help you feel the freedom to live more of the life you love.
Quicker Response
There are only four small patches of rubber that keep you in control of your vehicle. The more your tires are engaged, the more control you have. Subaru Symmetrical AWD keeps power routed to all four tires all the time, so it doesn't have to react to slippage that has already occurred. Rather, it keeps your tires as fully engaged with the road as possible.
Efficient Design
Because some systems lack the simplicity of Subaru Symmetrical AWD, they not only sacrifice efficiency, but also can incur more wear and tear. Subaru routes power directly from the engine to all four wheels to keep components (and frictional power) losses to a minimum. All while maximizing the seamless feeling of traction whenever you need it.
Refined space. Abundant rewards.
Audio System
With the right soundtrack, every drive can inspire. The Tribeca is now available with the stunning sounds of a harman/kardon® premium audio system. It features 10 speakers placed around the cabin for optimum clarity and impact, each built with premium materials, including neodymium magnets for harmonic richness. Powering the system is a 385-watt amplifier built and custom-tuned by the audio wizards at harman/kardon. Choose from a variety of audio sources, including an available 6-disc CD changer, an accessory iPod® interface, and a versatile auxiliary jack, which comes standard. Well-appointed Interior The stylish and spacious Tribeca creates an ideal environment for everyone to enjoy and admire. With ambient interior lighting, and available leather-trimmed upholstery, your passengers will appreciate the sophisticated design and relaxing atmosphere. They'll also appreciate rewarding standard features like heated front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control, which allows you to set two distinct temperatures for yourself and your front passenger, while automatically adjusting the air conditioning to maintain them. A separate rear cabin air conditioner, with a fan control accessible to the 2nd-row passengers, helps keep those in back comfortable, while the available rear-seat DVD entertainment system helps keep them delighted as the miles roll by.
74.4 cu. ft. Cargo Space
Many SUVs offer a spacious interior. But the Tribeca fills that space with innovations and designs that are simply smart. Every square inch of the elegant interior is maximized with distinctive features thoughtfully placed and ingenious configurations that mean just about everyone and everything fits. The flexible design lets you conveniently fold all the seats down, creating a cargo area with 74.4 cubic feet of space. With this much space, you won't ever have to leave anyone or anything behind.
Standard 3rd-row Seating
The split-folding 3rd-row seating is now standard on every Tribeca making it more family-friendly than ever. Every Tribeca now has a place for up to seven passengers. What's more, the thoughtful design of the 3rd row allows you to neatly fold down one or both of the seats for easy access to the 37.6 cubic feet of cargo space. And because you can access the 3rd row from both sides of the vehicle, getting to it is always easy.
10 Cup Holders
There's no need to cry over spilled anything with ten cup holders to choose from. Every seat has one within reach. There's two in the center console, one in every door, two in the 2nd-row armrest. And even those in the back aren't left out with two on each side of the 3rd row. You'll also find a variety of conveniently placed storage compartments throughout the interior, helping you carry what you need while cutting down on clutter.
Flexible 2nd Row
Your needs and the needs of those you take with you have a way of changing all the time. The Tribeca is ready to adapt to your life with features like the 40/20/40-split 2nd row. Its seat back splits three ways, so you can seat three across, or fold down one or two of the seatbacks to carry longer items in the cargo area. And to help accommodate varying passenger needs from infants who need to be within easy reach, to adults who want all the legroom possible, the 2nd row slides almost eight inches forward and backward, and also reclines for comfort.
Elevates every journey.
Interior Features
The Tribeca has a wealth of available features designed to give you the comfort and control to make every drive more rewarding. It's easy to find the perfect driving position with the 8-way adjustable power driver's seat. And steering wheel-mounted controls keep key vehicle settings within easy reach. You'll quickly find your destination with the available touch-screen navigation system, which will also provide you with points of interest along the way. For even greater convenience, BlueConnect® hands-free Bluetooth® calling is available on every Tribeca. This feature allows you to pair a Bluetooth-enabled phone, and make your calls with voice commands. It can even store a phonebook of numbers to make calling easier.
Subaru Active and Passive Safety
When it comes to feeling confident, nothing is more important than feeling safe. That's why Subaru places safety as one of our highest priorities, and why we think about safety in 360 degrees. First, we engineer our vehicles with exceptional control and advanced accident-avoidance technologies to help keep accidents from happening in the first place. Then, we build every Subaru with protection technologies that help keep danger out, while helping to keep those inside safe. The end result is a car that, in a worst-case scenario, is one of your best possible bets.
Increased Awareness
Before you can avoid danger, you have to see it coming. Not only is the Tribeca designed for excellent visibility on all sides, it's also available with a back-up camera. The optional rear-vision camera, with available 3.5-inch display located conveniently in the rearview mirror, gives you a clear view behind you. Upgrade to the navigation system, and you'll have a 7-inch, in-dash display.
All-around Protection
Our Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame is exceptionally strong for maximum resistance to impact energy, while its unique configuration helps divert that energy away from occupants. To further help prevent injury, an array of sensors, including a rollover sensor, can detect an impending crash and deploy front, front-side and side-curtain airbags working to surround and cushion outboard occupants.
Dynamic Handling
With surefooted capability and excellent cargo and towing capacity, the Tribeca is no lightweight. But the way it handles is anything but heavy or sluggish. It features a 4-wheel independent suspension tuned for an ideal balance of sharp responsiveness and smooth, comfortable compliance. With a double-wishbone rear design, this versatile suspension helps the Tribeca react effortlessly to changing road conditions while responding quickly to your input. But the true core of its inspiring control and surprising agility is Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Its exceptionally balanced design helps the Tribeca maneuver more predictably, while at all times grabbing hold of as much of the road as possible.
6-cylinder Subaru Boxer Engine
Every Tribeca is powered by the 3.6-liter 6-cylinder SUBARU BOXER® engine, the largest engine Subaru offers. With 256 horsepower, it delivers more than enough power to inspire confidence in virtually any driving condition. And with a unique horizontally opposed design, that power is delivered with exceptional smoothness and stability. The Tribeca also comes standard with the smooth-shifting 5-speed automatic transmission featuring SPORTSHIFT technology. This means you can take manual control over how the Tribeca shifts for greater involvement and access to power when you want it.
