One of the many new off-roaders being launched in Britain this year is Subaru's US-built Tribeca, which arrives in November priced from £28,995.

Dealers are taking orders for the Tribeca, a three-model range centred on a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder engine. All models will get dual-zone aircon, powered front seats, front, side and curtain airbags, a six-disc CD autochanger with nine speakers and MP3 playback, and remote audio controls.

The 4x4 has a top speed of 121mph, and returns 29.7mpg on the country driving cycle.
