Subaru Tribeca
Select a Year
(6 available)Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
For 2013, the Subaru Tribeca is offered only in Limited trim, and a new brake override system is added this year. The system cuts engine power when both the brake and accelerator are depressed at the same time.
Other than a revised head-restraint design, the Subaru Tribeca sees no major changes for 2012.
The Subaru Tribeca sees no major changes for 2011.
For 2010, the five-passenger model is dropped from the lineup, while heated seats and a new rear air conditioning unit are made standard on all models. Limited and Touring trims receive a new 385-watt harman/kardon 10-speaker audio system, with Touring trims additionally receiving HID headlamps, a power moonroof, a rear backup camera and seven-spoke alloy wheels.
There are no major changes for the 2009 Subaru Tribeca.
There are a number of five and seven-passenger SUVs on the market, so what's so special about the 2008 Subaru Tribeca? For starters, every Tribeca is equipped with an advanced and capable all-wheel-drive system, a comforting thought for those whose daily commutes sometimes include heavy snow and rain. The Tribeca boxer engine lowers the vehicle's center of gravity and improves vehicle stability, and the Tribeca rates well in the government's front- and side-impact crash tests. Finally, the roomy interior coddles its passengers and stimulates its driver with loads of features, while fresh new exterior styling produces a less polarizing appearance.

"I have always owned GM vehicles for 25+ years and hesitated to look elsewhere. Being a mechanical engineer I literally drove my wife crazy looking at every SUV / crossover out there. We ended up with the Tribeca and have never looked back. Our family (2 kids included) absolutely loves our Tribeca. The interior design is phenominal. It's part of what initially drew us to this vehicle. The safety features of Subaru's sold me right from the start. The handling from this vehicles all wheel drive system in northern Michigan's winter conditions are quite impressive. It's road gripping technology is much better than the Chevy Trailblazer (our last vehicle)...by far. Driving through corners in snowy / icy conditions is impressive. At 25,000 miles...in town 17-19 mpg...highway 23-25 however I have got as high as 27 mpg. My only hestitation, a little better performance which has been addressed on the 2008 model. Overall a great vehicle that we've had for about 1 year. It has been totally reliable. Based on our first year ever owning a Subaru, our next vehicle will definitely be a Subaru...no hesitation what-so-ever. I can't say enough good things about it...Subaru has definitely raised the bar...well done!!!"

"I live in the south. There aren't too many Subarus on the road here. The dealership I bought the car from in 2006 has since closed, but I LOVE my Tribeca. I probably shouldn't say this out loud, but I have not had one problem in the past 5 1/2 years with this car. I've kept it up doing the routine maintenance, but that's it. The mileage could be better. I get 22 on the hwy, and 17-18 in the city. That is the biggest con in my mind, but most vehicles of this size are in that range at this point."

"This is my 6th Subaru and first Tiibeca. We chose this instead of the outback for the passenger seating, comfort and of course all wheel drive. It is a powerful, reliable vehicle and drives great in all kinds of weather. The only negative I would say is the gas mileage is not as good as the Outback but that is due to the powerful and very responsive engine. Would definitely buy another one."
