About the Outback 2.5 165

The 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5 165 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,420 kg with 162 bhp, which works out at 114 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.85 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,295th quickest to 60 mph, and the 72nd quickest of the 119 Subarus here. Its 84.1 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Subaru Outback 2.5 165 0-60 time?
The Subaru Outback 2.5 165 reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,295th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Subaru Outback 2.5 165 quarter mile time?
16.80 s at 84.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.95 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.85 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Subaru Outback 2.5 165 have?
162 bhp and 1,420 kg, which is 114 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 198 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Subaru Outback 2.5 165?
Closest here on pace: Renault Kadjar 160 TCe GBF 160 (8.95 s), Nissan X-Trail 2.5 16V 165 (9.02 s), Suzuki Vitara 1.4 Boosterjet 129 (8.94 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru Outback 2.5 165 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Subaru Outback 2.5 165 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
