Overview

The 2011 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 Toyota Highlander. Available in three trims, the Subaru Tribeca SUV has a base price of MSRP $30,495 and carries on to $35,895. Its 3.6L flat-6 engine gives the SUV 256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. 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

The Subaru Tribeca is a highly capable SUV with the exemplary off-road performance offered as a three-trim option. We think the mid-level Limited is the bang for your buck. For a price bump of $2,000, it adds some of the praiseworthy features like the 10-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, interior ambient lighting, leather upholstery, driver-seat memory, heated front seats, and so on.
