Cherry Hill, N.J., – The Subaru Tribeca 7-passenger crossover SUV continues for 2013 offered solely in the Limited trim line. Standard amenities include leather seating, heated front seats and an auxiliary air conditioning unit with headliner-mounted vents in the second and third row seats. For 2013, the Tribeca gains the Brake Override system, which cuts engine power if both the accelerator and brake pedals are pressed under certain conditions.
The Subaru Tribeca delivers an engaging driving experience and top safety performance with Subaru quality. Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) and a four-wheel traction control system (TCS) enhance the capabilities of the standard Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) version of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The crisp, elegant exterior design gives Tribeca a strong road presence. Subaru builds the Tribeca at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive plant in Lafayette, Indiana.
The Subaru Tribeca received the highest rating (5-stars) in all of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) crash tests. These results are in addition to the 4-star rating in the NHTSA tests for rollover resistance. (No SUV to date has earned 5-stars in the rollover test.) The Tribeca in addition is a “Top Safety Pick” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Premium Performance, Regular-Grade Fuel
The Subaru 3.6-liter BOXER engine is engineered to produce powerful low-end torque, and its use of regular-grade fuel helps reduce operating costs. Active Valve Control System (AVCS) variable valve timing is employed on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. The engine produces 256 horsepower and 247 lb.-ft. of peak torque. Notably, the 3.6-liter engine sustains at least 225 lb.-ft. of torque from 2,000 to 6,000 rpm. Channeled through a specially tuned five-speed automatic transmission, that helps give the Tribeca ample acceleration and merging power and makes it feel exceptionally smooth and responsive in everyday driving.

Award Winning Interior with High-Tech Features
The Tribeca’s twin cockpit interior design features a flowing, sculpted dash and center console design. Aluminum-look trim highlights the sculpted shapes of the dashboard. Electroluminescent dials and subtle ambient interior footwell lighting provide a sophisticated touch. The center console is anchored by an information center that groups the readouts for the audio system, clock, fuel economy, and outside temperature.
