The Subaru Tribeca B9, launched in 2006, was a bold departure for the Japanese automaker, aiming to carve a niche in the mid-size luxury SUV segment. This three-row crossover, based on the Subaru Legacy platform, featured a distinctive, somewhat polarizing design, with a large, vertically-oriented grille and a sloping roofline. The Tribeca offered seating for up to seven passengers and boasted a spacious cabin with numerous features, including leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, a power sunroof, and a premium sound system. While it sported a modern design and comfortable interior, the Tribeca lacked the refinement and premium feel found in competitors from brands like Acura and Lexus. Power came from a 3.6-liter horizontally-opposed six-cylinder engine, producing 256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque, mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive was standard, offering confident handling in most conditions. Despite its attempts to provide a more luxurious driving experience, the Tribeca B9 faced criticisms for its handling, which was deemed less agile and responsive than its Subaru brethren. Additionally, the interior, while spacious, fell short in terms of material quality and overall refinement. The Tribeca's fuel efficiency was also a concern, with its six-cylinder engine returning only 16 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. The Tribeca B9 was discontinued after the 2014 model year, due to its lack of sales success and the rise of more fuel-efficient and technically advanced competitors. Despite its shortcomings, the Tribeca B9 holds a unique place in Subaru's history, representing an ambitious attempt to capture a more upscale market segment. While it may not have achieved the same level of success as other Subaru models, the Tribeca B9 remains a testament to the brand's willingness to explore new territories and push boundaries.
