NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Subaru B9 Tribeca

The Subaru B9 Tribeca is a five- or seven-seat mid-size, luxury crossover SUV which was launched for the 2006 model year and went on sale in June 2005 in the United States. It is based on the Subaru Legacy platform and the B9X concept car. The production version of this SUV is named for New York City's famed TriBeCa neighborhood. It is the first Subaru vehicle, excluding the Japan-only Subaru R1/R2 featuring the new Subaru design language of a triangular grille and a rounded bodyshape, which many in the Subaru community have found controversial. Subaru has since abandoned this concept for its models introduced in 2006 and beyond.

The B9 Tribeca is powered by a 3.0 L boxer engine and is priced from US$ 30,695 to 38,320.

Awards

The Tribeca has received a generally good reception by automotive critics and buyers. It was intended to give current Legacy/Outback owners somewhere to "go" when they wanted to move up to a larger vehicle. It has been harshly criticized by the automotive press for its controversial styling and minuscule third-row seat (supposedly the reason for the vehicle's existence in the first place). It has won best interior of the year in the Premium Crossover Utility Vehicle segment. Also, it was considered Most Innovative Concept at the 2004 Detroit auto show.
