Liberty Exiga Offers Six of the Best

SYDNEY – November 2, 2009: The final ingredient in Subaru’s new generation Liberty line-up has arrived in the form of the versatile six-seat Liberty Exiga wagon.

It completes Subaru’s mid-size Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive wagon line-up with a family-friendly fuel-efficient and flexible package that means there’s now a Liberty to appeal to every taste.

Underlining Liberty Exiga’s family appeal is a DVD entertainment system accessible to second and third-row passengers.

Liberty Exiga 2.5i is priced from $37,490* Manufacturer’s List Pricing and the 2.5i Premium from $41,990.

Liberty Exiga’s outstanding fuel economy is aided by the stepless Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), combined with the responsive four-cylinder 2.5-litre horizontally opposed boxer engine that produces 123 Kilowatts of power at 5600 rpm and 229 Newtonmetres of torque at 4000 rpm.

In the combined cycle, Liberty Exiga consumes just 8.6 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres and emits 202 grams per kilometre of carbondioxide.

The new generation Liberty Exiga line-up comprises:

Liberty Exiga 2.5i – with Lineartronic CVT and DVD entertainment system

Liberty Exiga 2.5i Premium – Adds leather trim, satellite navigation, reversing camera, Bluetooth compatibility, eight-way power driver and front passenger seats, and 17-inch alloy wheels

Nick Senior, Managing Director, Subaru Australia, said: “Liberty Exiga is a versatile family wagon that adds a new dimension to our mid-size wagon line-up.

“It means we’ve now got Liberty Exiga for families needing the flexibility of a six-seat cabin, we’ve got five-seat normally aspirated and turbocharged Liberty wagons and for those with a more recreational focus, we’ve got the Outback range.

“With the same safety levels across all these vehicles, it simply comes down to a lifestyle choice and with the depth in our medium wagon range we can meet the needs of the vast majority of customers.”
