Highlights of its distinctive, eye-catching exterior design include its wide and tall grille, which is integrated into the front bumper and features a chrome spread-wing design with the Subaru star cluster badge as the focal point. The grille flows into a powerful silhouette, enhanced by new rear three-quarter windows. These rear windows are also functional, and along with the addition of larger side-view mirrors, improve side and rear vision for the driver, as well as improving the third row passengers’ view of the outside.

Roof rails add to the SUV’s dominant appearance and a raised hood line while a deep front valance visually widen and heighten the Tribeca, providing a stronger road presence with a more SUV-like appearance. The side profile, on the other hand, also features powerful fender and wheel forms that enhance the Tribeca's signature rising character line.

This is a vehicle that demands attention.
