THE 2015 Subaru Liberty sedan spearheads an aggressive attack from the marque, which will start its improved mid-size range from an uber-sharp $29,990.

While the Outback large SUV has also received a host of cuts, Subaru has been cut-throat with its sedan.

Headlining the repositioning is the top-shelf 3.6R variant which has been reduced by $14,000.

But features haven't been sacrificed in the process. Instead all Liberty models will gain additional features.

Prompting the price cuts are the growing European competitors entering mainstream, along with the Japanese free trade agreement, more efficient manufacturing and a favourable exchange rate.

Opportunity knocks

There is method within pricing madness at Subaru.

Not only acknowledging the growing shift toward European and prestige offerings, the imminent closure of local car manufacturing by Ford, Holden and Toyota has opened the door to new opportunities.

Those still in the market for a six-cylinder sedan will find the Liberty has what it takes to fill the void, while the Outback does the job as family hauler.
