SI Drive
The Outback features Subaru's SI Drive, a three-mode engine-management system that lets drivers select between economical or performance-optimized driving dynamics. Intelligent mode relaxes the car's throttle response and reduces maximum power. Sport mode gives the Outback more linear acceleration and quicker throttle response, while Sport Sharp mode gives the car "lightning-quick throttle response," according to Subaru, and delivers more power sooner.
