About the Tribeca
A mid-size crossover, the Subaru Tribeca lasted nearly a decade between 2005 and 2014.
Also known as the Subaru B9 Tribeca, the vehicle takes its name from a neighborhood that shares the same moniker in New York. Having used the ‘B9’ originally as part of the name so as to refer to its predecessor, the B9X Concept car, Subaru dropped the additional code after conducting market research.
Predictably, the Tribeca shares its front grille with other cars manufactured by Subaru such as the Impreza, the Subaru R2 Kei and the Japanese Subaru R1.
Built upon a 3-liter boxer engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission, the Tribeca saw a slight update in 2008, the result of which was displayed at the New York International Auto Show. A little later, a new engine was introduced, the 3.6-liter flat-six engine which could produce 256 brake horsepower and achieve 10% better fuel economy in comparison to the older version.
For the Northern American market, two trim levels were available, the Base and Limited, the latter to suit the more ‘premium’ customer. Additional features of the Limited were to include a transparent moon roof, leather interior, roof rails and a premium audio system with a 6-disc CD changer. Interior color schemes were criticized for their limitations as the Tribeca was only available in either slate grey or desert beige.
Production for the United States ended in January 2012 following a disappointing sales record, then in December of the same year, Subaru pulled the vehicle from Australia too. In fact, for the USA, the Tribeca was ranked as the worst selling car in the country for the years 2011 and 2012 with only 1,247 sold within the first 9 months of 2013.
Due to its poor reputation, Subaru decided not to bring forth a direct replacement and so created a 7 seat crossover instead, namely the Exiga, which competed directly with the likes of the Ford Explorer and the Nissan Pathfinder.
