2008 Subaru Outback 2.5 i Limited L.L. Bean Edition

The 2008 Subaru Outback 2.5i L.L. Bean Edition with the Limited Package comes equipped with L.L. Bean-embossed two-tone leather-trimmed upholstery, a panoramic tilt/sliding dual-panel moonroof, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shifter handle with woodgrain-patterned inlay, and titanium-metallic interior trim with grain-patterned accents. Standard features also include four-stage heated front seats, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, a touch-screen GPS navigation system, and a removable L.L. Bean-embossed cargo-area tray, as well as a 100-watt six-speaker audio system with a six-disc in-dash CD changer, MP3 capability, and 3D audio enhancement.

A four-wheel independent heavy-duty raised suspension provides a firmer ride over rough terrain, while a Vehicle Dynamic Control system constantly monitors vehicle stability and automatically applies brakes and/or reduces engine power when it senses an impending emergency situation. Symmetrical all-wheel drive also comes standard on the Outback 2.5i Limited L.L. Bean Edition.

A 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder Subaru Boxer engine powers the 2.5i Limited L.L. Bean Edition. Subaru mounts the engine longitudinally on the chassis, which results in a lower center of gravity and better overall balance. The engine links to a four-speed adaptive electronic automatic transmission with Sportshift manual control.
