2004 Subaru Liberty

The 2004 Subaru Liberty was released in late 2003. As this was the launch of the new generation of Subaru Liberty it received much attention from the media with much news and reviews occuring.

The range was launched with many models featuring in the lineup. The top of these was the GT Premium Pack. It had the 2 Litre turbo-charged engine but was only available with an auto transmission. The 5 speed manual matched to the 2 litre turbo engine would wait until the 2005 model of the new generation was released.

The base 2 Litre non-turbo model put out 101kW and 187Nm of torque enough to move the Liberty around but certainly no powerhouse. The Turbo version gained an extra 79kW and 123Nm to bring power to 180kW and 310Nm or torque. The bulge of torque in the turbo was available from lowish revs around the two and a half thousand mark.

In ANCAP crash testing the Liberty scored 5 stars which is excellent. Its overall score was 32.57 out of 37. When they tested the 2004 model fitted with side air-bags the Liberty scored 35.52, making it at the time the highest scoring vehicle - impressive.

The various models of the Liberty were also available in wagon versions, even the performance versions.

The starting price into the new gen Liberty was $30,900 topping out at $55,990 for the GT Premium Pack.
