Vehicle Overview

The Tribeca comes with all-wheel drive and seats seven with a standard third row. It competes with other midsize crossovers like the Ford Explorer, Hyundai Santa Fe and Toyota Highlander. It's the only three-row model in Subaru's lineup.

New for 2013

The 2013 Tribeca gets a brake override system but there are no other significant changes.

Exterior

Originally introduced with a controversial grille, the Tribeca's front-end styling has since been tweaked and is now fairly conventional. All models have 18-inch alloy wheels. Exterior features include:

  • Standard fog lights
  • Standard heated power side mirrors
  • Optional roof rack

Interior

The Tribeca features a wraparound cockpit with faux metal overlays. The second-row seats have easy-to-use adjusters that slide the seats forward for easier third-row access. Interior features include:

  • Standard dual-zone air conditioning
  • Standard steering-wheel-mounted audio controls
  • Standard power seats
  • Optional navigation system
  • Optional backup camera

Under the Hood

A 3.6-liter six-cylinder is standard. Mechanical features include:

  • 256 horsepower and 247 pounds-feet of torque
  • Five-speed automatic transmission
  • Standard all-wheel drive
  • Standard independent front and rear suspension

Safety

Standard safety features include:

  • Four-wheel-disc antilock brakes
  • Electronic stability system
  • Traction control
  • Six airbags, including side-impact airbags for the front seats and side curtain airbags for first- and second-row occupants but not for third-row passengers
