|  The Subaru B9 Tribeca returns for 2007 with minor changes. It remains available in four models: Base and Limited in either five or seven passenger seating configurations. The B9 Tribeca is powered by a 3.0L six-cylinder Boxer engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission and generates 245 horsepower and 215 lb-ft of torque. New updates for this model year include standard Roll Sensor System, revised suspension tuning, black grille inserts, a two-position memory system for driver's seat, and center console mounted auxiliary jack for portable audio players. New optional features include a Reverse Assist Sensor, remote starter, rear cargo cover, and a rear vision camera is now standard on navigation system equipped models.
The B9 Tribeca is equipped with standard symmetrical Variable Torque Distribution all-wheel drive. It's powered by an all-aluminum horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine, and the five-speed automatic transmission incorporates a Sportshift provision for manual gear changes.
For 2007, Subaru B9 Tribeca adds a host of options, including reverse-assist sensors, a remote starter and a rear cargo cover. There's also an optional rear-seat entertainment system with a 9-inch screen, wireless headphones and a remote.
Seating for either five or seven passengers is available. The second-row bench seat offers 8 inches of fore/aft travel and is split 40/20/40; each section can recline independently. When a 50/50-split third-row seat is installed, it can hold two additional occupants.
The appearance of the twin-cockpit interior echoes the front grille, and aluminum-look trim decorates the sculpted shapes of the dashboard. Large electroluminescent dials and a 7-inch navigation/information touch-screen are installed. An optional backseat entertainment system includes a DVD player and a 9-inch screen. Indirect floor lighting is installed. Rear air conditioning is standard in the seven-passenger model.
Standard equipment includes a moonroof, heated front seats, keyless entry and a 100-watt CD stereo with MP3 compatibility. Also, a center console auxiliary jack for portable audio players is standard. All Tribecas are wired for XM Satellite Radio, but only the Special Edition package includes it standard.
2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca adds a standard rollover system that can detect a potential rollover and activate the side curtain airbags. Also, a new brake-assist system that applies the brakes with greater force in an emergency stop is standard. On models equipped with the navigation system, a rear vision camera is included.
Side-impact and first- and second-row side curtain airbags are standard. Standard antilock brakes incorporate electronic brake-force distribution, and a tire pressure monitoring system and the Vehicle Dynamics Control electronic stability system are installed.
