TO THE POINT Selling Points: Standard AWD and stability control, unique styling, hill-holder system, cabin comfort, seven-passenger capability
Deal Breakers: Small third-row seats, unique styling, unimpressive cargo space
Our Advice: Subaru has planted the B9 Tribeca smack in the middle of a crossover marketplace awash in great choices, but without much to distinguish it aside from a controversial design.

MEET THE COMPETITION Chrysler Pacifica
Nissan Murano

Nuts and Bolts All 2006 Subaru B9 Tribecas are powered by a 3.0-liter boxer-design engine that produces 250 horsepower and 219 lb.-ft. of torque. This motor quickly propels the B9 Tribeca to highway speeds and offers good response while negotiating twisting mountain roads.

All 2006 Subaru B9 Tribecas are powered by a 3.0-liter boxer-design engine that produces 250 horsepower and 219 lb.-ft. of torque. This motor quickly propels the B9 Tribeca to highway speeds and offers good response while negotiating twisting mountain roads. All models are also equipped with a five-speed automatic transmission that features Subaru’s Sportshift manual mode.

As with all Subarus, the B9 Tribeca comes standard with all-wheel drive, which adds the benefit of traction at all four wheels. Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), Subaru’s stability control system, is also included on every B9 Tribeca, as well as four-wheel traction control. This extra grip on the road surface assures secure travel no matter the weather conditions.

A four-wheel independent suspension system provides a good compromise between a comfortable ride and decent handling. Ventilated four-wheel-disc brakes are enhanced by standard ABS to add an additional level of safety.
