2019 Subaru Legacy Outback (BS9) in Kenya: Review, Prices & Specs
2019 Subaru Outback (BS9): A Carimports.co.ke Review
The Big Picture
The 2019 Subaru Outback (BS9 Facelift) is a crossover estate designed for versatility. It combines the ride comfort of a sedan with the ground clearance of a dedicated SUV. In the Kenyan market, it serves as a primary alternative to the Toyota Harrier and Prado, particularly for owners who require frequent off-road capability without the bulk of a truck-based chassis.
Powertrain & Performance
The standard engine is the 2.5L FB25 Boxer 4-cylinder. It produces 173 hp and uses a Lineartronic CVT to drive all four wheels via Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD system.
- Fuel Economy: Expect 9–10 km/l in urban Nairobi traffic and 12–13 km/l on highways. The permanent AWD system imposes a fuel penalty compared to 2WD competitors.
Design & Practicality
The 2019 model features a ground clearance of 200mm, which is superior to the Toyota Harrier (190mm) and Honda CR-V (198mm). This clearance is effective for navigating rough unpaved roads. The roof rails are functional and integrated.
Reliability & Maintenance
The Lineartronic CVT is reliable but requires clean fluid. It is imperative to use genuine Subaru High Torque CVT Fluid changed every 40,000 km. Towing heavy loads can strain the CVT.

| Limited | Ksh 3.00M - 3.20M | Ksh 3.60M - 3.80M | ~Ksh 600k |
The Ci Verdict
The 2019 Subaru Outback Limited is the safest bet for families who travel. It combines the utility of a Prado with the manners of a sedan. While fuel consumption is higher than 2WD competitors, the trade-off delivers superior safety and all-weather capability.
