Overview

The 2014 Subaru Tribeca SUV is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Nissan Pathfinder, the Dodge Durango, and the Kia Sorento. Available in a single trim, the 2014 Subaru Tribeca SUV has a base price of MSRP $34,095. Its 3.6L Flat-6 engine gives the SUV 256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 8.3 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Subaru Tribeca SUV manages to get a combined EPA rating of 18 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 8.4 inches.

Buying Advice

As the Tribeca is available in only one trim level, we recommend adding the optional Popular package, which adds a rear cargo tray, splash guards, a bumper scuff guard, and a retractable cargo cover.
