2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca Review
Subaru's largest vehicle enterd 2007 with freshened styling and added features. B9 Tribeca is a midsize SUV with available seven-passenger seating. It shares a basic platform with the Subaru Outback and Legacy. Tribeca has all-wheel drive without low-range gearing. Its 245-hp horizontally opposed 6-cyl engine teams with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Standard are ABS and antiskid control that gains rollover sensors for '07. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags with rollover deployment for the 1st and 2nd seating rows are standard. Tribeca comes in base and Limited models. Each offers five- or seven-passenger seating. For '07, grille inserts go from chrome to matte black, though a new Special Edition Package uses bright mesh inserts. A rearview camera and rear obstacle detection are among other newly available features.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Larger than Compact SUVs, Midsize SUVs offer a mix of car- and truck-type construction, V6 and V8 power, and up to eight-passenger seating. This class also includes crossover vehicles.

Our Best Buy choice is the Honda Pilot. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Explorer, Ford Freestyle, Mazda CX-7, Nissan Murano, and Toyota Highlander.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Dodge Nitro, Ford Edge, GMC Acadia, Hyundai Santa Fe, Mazda CX-7, Mazda CX-9, Saturn Outlook, Suzuki XL-7, and Toyota FJ Cruiser.
News
We hear the B9 will get a fairly heavy facelift for 2008, quite early for such a new model. Subaru evidently feels that styling is at least partly to blame for underwhelming B9 sales, so the current look should be toned down somewhat. Changes elsewhere are likely to be fairly minor before a full redesign, which is now expected for model-year 2011.
