2006 Subaru Outback 2.5 XT Limited for sale in CA

This 2006 Subaru Outback 2.5 XT Limited is a rare blend of everyday practicality and spirited performance — finished in beautiful Garnet Red Pearl on the outside with a tasteful Off Black premium cloth-and-leather-trim interior. With the turbocharged 2.0L TC H4 (horizontally-opposed 4-cylinder) double overhead cam 16-valve engine under the hood, this Outback delivers eager acceleration and a confident highway presence while still providing the all-weather traction Subaru is known for.

Engine and drivetrain
- Powerplant: 2.0L turbocharged H4 — a horizontally-opposed (boxer) layout with DOHC and 16 valves. This configuration helps keep the engine low in the chassis for a lower center of gravity and composed handling, while the turbocharger provides strong mid-range torque and quick throttle response.
- Transmission: Smooth-shifting 5-speed automatic with manual shift mode (SportShift), allowing more driver engagement when desired.
- Drivetrain: Symmetrical full-time all-wheel drive (AWD) — Subaru’s proven system gives confident grip in wet or slippery conditions and contributes to stable, predictable handling.

Fuel economy and ownership history
- Fuel economy: Approximately 17 MPG city and 23 MPG highway.
- Mileage: Excellent overall mileage for the vehicle’s age — under 94,000 miles and averaging less than 5,000 miles per year, which speaks to careful, low-mileage ownership.
- History: Clean CARFAX report — no major incidents reported and maintained records available.

Exterior highlights (Garnet Red Pearl)
- Striking Garnet Red Pearl paintwork with a deep, glossy finish that stands out and photograph beautifully.
- Sporty-wagon proportions with an elevated ride height for better visibility and capability on light trails and in poor-road conditions.
- Roof rails and integrated cross-bar mounting points for bikes, cargo boxes, or roof carriers — a signature of Outback practicality.
- Alloy wheels (factory finish) that complement the vehicle’s design and provide a solid, purposeful stance.
- Projector-style headlamps and integrated fog lights for improved visibility, plus automatic features that make evening driving easier.
- Rear privacy glass, rear wiper, practical rear cargo opening and easy-lift tailgate for loading gear and groceries.

Interior comfort and convenience (Off Black premium cloth & leather trim)
- Seats: Premium Off Black cloth with leather trim — comfortable and supportive front seats designed for longer drives. Heated front seats for chilly mornings add daily comfort.
- Driver’s controls: Power-adjustable driver’s seat for finding the ideal driving position; tilt-and-telescoping steering column for a customized fit; leather-wrapped steering wheel with fingertip controls for audio and cruise functions.
- Climate: Dual-zone automatic climate control lets driver and front passenger set independent temperatures for personalized comfort.
- Audio and connectivity: Factory premium audio system with AM/FM radio and CD capability; steering-wheel-mounted audio controls make it easy to manage entertainment without taking your hands off the wheel. Multiple storage cubbies, cupholders, and convenient 12V power outlets for charging devices.
- Practical cargo area: 60/40 split-folding rear seats expand cargo capacity quickly and easily; the cargo floor and tie-down points keep gear secure. Rear seat passengers enjoy generous headroom and legroom — one of the Outback’s strengths as a versatile people- and gear-hauler.
