With its spacious cabin, convenient four-door body-style and versatile cargo bed, the innovative and adaptable 2006 Subaru Baja is the perfect choice for those seeking a dose of fun with their functionality. Better yet, the Baja also features the agile handling and comfort of a sedan and the all-road capabilities of an SUV, thanks to its heavy-duty raised suspension and symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system. Whether your adventures take you to the beach, the mountains or just your local big box store, the Baja's advanced drivetrain and patented Switchback® System - which extends the truck bed into the rear of the cabin to help carry longer items - makes having fun easy.

With its symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system and heavy-duty, raised suspension, the 2006 Baja was designed to take you just about anywhere. To help you enjoy the scenery along the way, the Baja also features a power-operated glass moonroof with sunshade.

When you need more space to bring along just about everything including the kitchen sink, the 2006 Baja features sturdy roof rails and available lockable crossbars.

To help you make it safely to your destination, even when the weather isn't cooperating, the 2006 Baja is equipped with multi-reflector halogen fog lights with stone shields.

Interior

Thanks to its rugged, sporty exterior styling and symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system, the 2006 Baja is capable of all-road, all-weather adventure. With its remarkably accommodating, stylish interior, you'll enjoy these adventures in complete comfort.

With spacious seating for four and the option of expanding the cargo bed into the rear passenger compartment thanks to its ingenious Switchback® System, the Baja is the perfect choice for all your adventures.

With its patented Switchback® System, the Baja has the versatility to switch between accommodating four people with their gear in the cargo bed or two people with even more gear! This system allows you to easily extend the cargo bed into the rear passenger compartment to make room for longer items or extra cargo - then quickly change the system back to allow for the comfortable seating of four adults.

When the temperature starts to drop, the 2006 Baja's dual-setting front seat heaters will help to keep you warm, whether you are heading to the Rockies for a ski trip or just out on Saturday morning errands.

No matter where your adventures take you, being able to listen to your favourite music along the way makes any trip more enjoyable.

Performance

Combining the rugged versatility and go-anywhere toughness of a compact pick-up truck and the comfort and roominess of a sedan, the 2006 Baja is engineered to complement an active lifestyle. With a horizontally-opposed SUBARU BOXER engine sending power to all four wheels through Subaru's legendary symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system and a heavy-duty raised suspension providing extra ground clearance and all-road capabilities, the Baja makes the whole world your playground.

The 2006 Baja features a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder, aluminum horizontally-opposed SUBARU BOXER engine, whose pistons move side-to-side, like a boxer throwing an endless combination of perfects rights and lefts. This engine configuration is not only naturally smooth, but also very compact, allowing the engine to be installed closer to the road. This creates a lower centre of gravity, which translates into improved responsiveness and driving enjoyment. With 165 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and 166 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM, the Baja has the power to handle any adventure.

With a heavy-duty raised suspension offering minimum ground clearance of 205 mm, the 2006 Baja is equally at home on snow-covered highways or muddy cottage county trails. This 4-wheel, fully independent suspension features stabilizer bars, front MacPherson struts with lower L-arms and a rear multi-link set-up, making it the perfect complement to the Baja's symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system.

To help ensure the 2006 Baja is able to stop safely and securely, it features front ventilated disc brakes and rear solid disc brakes augmented by a 4-channel, 4-sensor, 4-wheel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) that helps the driver to apply heavy braking while steering away from trouble without the risk of skidding.
