2019 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium: The Versatile Legend for Every Illinois Adventure

The 2019 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium is more than just a vehicle; it is a passport to exploring everything the Chicago suburbs have to offer. Whether you are navigating the bustling commercial corridors of Oakbrook Terrace, IL on a Tuesday morning or loading up gear for a weekend outing, this sport utility vehicle provides the perfect balance of rugged capability and refined comfort. Its reputation for longevity and safety makes it a staple in local driveways, offering a sense of security that few other vehicles in its class can match.

Imagine starting your morning in the quiet residential neighborhoods of Lombard, IL, where the tree-lined streets transition into the daily rhythm of the commute. The Outback fits perfectly into this lifestyle, offering a sophisticated Magnetite Gray Metallic exterior that looks just as good at a professional office park as it does parked near a local trailhead. It is a vehicle designed for those who value practicality without sacrificing style, providing a spacious interior and a commanding view of the road that helps you stay confident regardless of the traffic or the weather.

This specific model is engineered to handle the unique demands of our region. From the sudden summer thunderstorms to the unpredictable winter slush, the Outback is built to keep moving. It bridges the gap between a comfortable commuter and a capable weekend warrior, ensuring that every trip is met with ease and reliability.

Engineered for Stability and Efficiency

Under the hood of this 2019 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium lies a 2.5L H-4 DOHC engine featuring variable valve control. This horizontally opposed engine configuration, often referred to as a Boxer engine, is mounted low in the chassis to provide a lower center of gravity, which significantly enhances handling and stability. Delivering 175HP, this powerplant is paired with a CVT Lineartronic transmission that includes a Lock-up transmission feature and Overdrive transmission for optimized efficiency and smooth power delivery during your daily travels through Des Plaines, IL.

The legendary Full-time AWD system is the heart of this vehicle's performance. Unlike many part-time systems, this All Wheel Drive drivetrain is always active, constantly distributing power to the wheels with the best traction. For more challenging conditions, the X-MODE driver selectable drivetrain mode adjusts the engine output, transmission ratios, and braking system to provide maximum grip on slippery surfaces. This is further supported by Active Torque Vectoring, which uses a brake-actuated limited-slip differential to help the vehicle rotate through corners with precision.

The ride quality is exceptionally refined thanks to the Four wheel independent suspension system. Up front, you will find a Strut front suspension, while the rear utilizes a Double wishbone rear suspension, both working in harmony to soak up road imperfections. With a 108.1-inch wheelbase and Gas-pressurized shock absorbers, the Outback remains composed whether you are cruising at highway speeds or navigating local side streets. Efficiency is also a priority, as seen in the Active grille shutters that improve aerodynamics and the impressive fuel economy ratings of 25 city MPG and 32 hwy MPG.

Sophisticated Technology and Connectivity

In today's fast-paced environment, staying connected is essential, and the 2019 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium delivers with an intuitive suite of technology. The center of the dashboard features a Primary monitor touchscreen with an 8 inch primary display. This system serves as the hub for the STARLINK/Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device mirroring, allowing you to seamlessly integrate your smartphone for navigation, music, and hands-free communication. Whether you are following turn-by-turn directions or listening to your favorite podcast, the interface is crisp and responsive.

The driver is kept well-informed via the Analog instrumentation display and a 4.20-inch gauge cluster display, which provides essential vehicle data at a glance. For those who prefer voice commands, the Voice activated audio controls allow you to adjust settings without taking your eyes off the road. The inclusion of Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity and Bluetooth wireless audio streaming ensures that your devices stay linked without the clutter of cables, though 4 USB ports are available to keep everyones hardware charged and ready for the day.

Audio quality is handled by a 6-speaker system that includes a Single-disc CD player and SiriusXM satellite radio capability. The Steering wheel mounted audio controls put volume and track selection right at your fingertips, ensuring you never have to reach far to customize your environment. With External memory control and a Window grid audio antenna, the Outback is fully equipped to provide high-quality entertainment for every passenger on board.

A Sanctuary of Comfort and Utility

The interior of the Outback is a masterclass in functional design, featuring Slate Black Cloth front seat upholstery that is both durable and comfortable. The driver is treated to a Power driver seat with 8-way directional controls, including 2-way power lumbar support, ensuring a perfect driving position for long trips. When the Illinois temperatures drop, the Heated front seats and Heated driver and front passenger seats provide immediate warmth, while the Dual-zone front climate control and Voice-activated climate control allow both the driver and passenger to set their preferred temperatures.

Convenience is woven into every detail of the cabin. The Power Rear Gate w/Automatic Close & Height Memory makes loading groceries or sports equipment effortless, especially when your hands are full. Inside, you will find 3 12V power outlets for charging accessories, and a Roll-up cargo cover to keep your belongings out of sight. The 60-40 folding rear seats provide incredible versatility, allowing you to expand the cargo area while still accommodating a passenger.

Attention to detail extends to the winter-ready features like Heated door mirrors, a Heated windshield wiper park, and Heated rear wiper park, which help clear ice and snow quickly. The Leather and metal-look steering wheel and Leather and metal-look gear shifter material add a touch of premium feel to the touchpoints, while Chrome interior accents brighten the cabin. With a Seating capacity of 5 and ample Rear under seat climate control ducts, every occupant enjoys a comfortable and well-regulated environment.

Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance

Subarus commitment to safety is prominently displayed in the 2019 Outback 2.5i Premium through the EyeSight driver assist technology suite. This system acts as a second set of eyes on the road, offering EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking for forward collision mitigation and EyeSight Lane Keep Assist to help prevent accidental lane departure. The EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control is particularly useful for maintaining a safe following distance during heavy traffic, while the EyeSight Sway Warning monitors driver attention to ensure you stay alert during long drives.

Visibility and awareness are further enhanced by the Blind Spot Detection (BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems. These features provide visual and audible warnings if a vehicle is in your blind spot or approaching from the side while you are in reverse. The Exterior Parking Camera Rear provides a clear view of what is behind you, making parking in tight spots much simpler. For added protection, the vehicle is equipped with 8 airbags, including Front seat cushion airbags and Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags.

The mechanical safety features are equally robust, featuring 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS brakes and a Brake assist system for maximum stopping power. Electronic stability control and All-speed ABS and driveline traction control work together to keep the vehicle on its intended path, even in low-grip situations. With LED daytime running lights and LED brake lights, you remain visible to other drivers at all times, while the Active Torque Vectoring system ensures the vehicle handles predictably in emergency maneuvers.

Rugged Exterior and Sophisticated Design

The exterior of the 2019 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium is finished in a striking Magnetite Gray Metallic paint that highlights its athletic silhouette. The design is both functional and stylish, featuring 17-inch silver aluminum wheels and Black bodyside cladding that protects the lower panels from road debris. The front end is defined by Projector beam halogen headlights with Auto on/off headlight control and Front fog lights, ensuring excellent visibility in all conditions.

Practicality is a core component of the Outbacks DNA, as evidenced by the Full roof rack with Roof rails that can support a 150 lbs maximum roof rack load. This makes it easy to transport bikes, kayaks, or extra luggage for family vacations. The Rear lip spoiler and Body-colored bumpers provide a cohesive, modern look, while the Chrome side window trim adds a hint of elegance.

Additional exterior features include Heated door mirrors with Turn signal indicators and Remote activated perimeter approach lighting with puddle lights, which illuminate the area around the doors as you approach the vehicle at night. The Active grille shutters help manage airflow for better efficiency, and the Rear Bumper Cover protects the paint during loading and unloading. Every element of the exterior is designed to withstand the elements while maintaining a polished appearance.
