2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca
Progressive-type SUV that debuted for 2006 combines the agility and comfort
found in Outbackฎ models with the additional room and flexibility of a larger
SUV package.
245-horsepower 3.0-liter 6-cylinder Boxer engine teamed to 5-speed
automatic
transmission (with SPORTSHIFT) and the most advanced version of Subaru
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC).
Whats New for 2007
Named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Special Edition model with chrome finish wheels, chrome finish wire mesh
grille and integrated XM Satellite Radio.
Suspension tuning revised to provide a smoother ride and enhanced NVH (noise,
vibration and harshness) reduction without sacrificing driving character.
Brake Assist system (detects potential panic stop and applies maximum brake
pressure)
Rollover sensor detects potential rollover and deploys seatbelt tensioners and
side curtain airbags.
Auxiliary audio jack for iPods and similar portable media players; new
auxiliary inputs for available rear seat entertainment system.
Pre-wired for XM Satellite Radio (standard on Special Edition model)
Rear Vision Camera now included on models with available navigation system.
2-position memory for drivers seat on Limited models.
Wider rear-view mirror.
Pre-wired for remote start system and backup sensor system.
Low- gloss black grille (except Special Edition) Key Facts
Based on extensively modified Outback platform featuring longer wheelbase and
length and wider track; body structure provides 22- percent increase in
torsional rigidity and a 55- percent increase in bending stiffness;
doublewishbone rear suspension replaces multi-link suspension from Outback;
standard 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.
Generous 8.4 inches of ground clearance and high seating point desired in an
SUV, but with the comfortable step-in height of a sport wagon.
Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) version of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
combined with Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) stability system and 4-wheel
traction control system (TCS). VTD normally sends more power to the rear wheels
(45:55) to enhance handling agility. In response to driving and road conditions,
VDC regulates power distribution through the center differential via the
electronically managed continuously variable hydraulic transfer clutch. Traction
control is a second line of defense against wheelslip (after All-Wheel drive).
Proven Subaru safety with Ring Frame Reinforced body structure, including
hydroformed front subframe and tailoredblank welded side structural members.
Twin cockpit interior design, flowing, sculptured dash and center console,
large, clear electroluminescent gauge displays, and standard 7-inch vehicle
information display screen (also used by available navigation system);
easy-to-use controls and displays for automatic climate control system and audio
system; ambient
interior lighting in front and rear footwells.
Second row seats feature 40/20/40 folding and 2007 B9 Tribeca At-A-Glance/2
reclining rear seat backrest and 60/40 split seat cushion with 7.8-in. travel
range; third-row seats (7-passenger models) fold flat in 50/50 split for more
flexible cargo space usage; rear-seat air conditioning on 7-passenger models.
Available rear-seat DVD entertainment system features 9-inch diagonal
wide-screen LCD, and remote inputs for games and video camera. Can be augmented
by optional wireless headphones (2) and remote control.
Available navigation system on Limited models.
