2004 Subaru Outback

2004 Subaru Outback — 2.0L SOHC 16-valve flat-4 (naturally aspirated)

Overview
This 2004 Outback is equipped with Subaru’s 2.0-liter naturally aspirated horizontally opposed (flat) four-cylinder engine with a single overhead cam and 16 valves. It was offered as a practical mid-size wagon with the trademark higher ride height and full-time all-wheel drive intended for improved grip in mixed road and weather conditions. Exact equipment levels can vary by market and trim; the list below summarizes the factory-default features typically fitted to this engine/trim combination.
