Subaru is offering potential customers a B9 Tribeca for a week-long test drive in order to establish the new model in the UK.

The Japanese manufacturer is loaning 100 B9 Tribecas, plus Bluetooth hands-free kits to dealers for six months to entice potential customers.

Harvey France, Subaru national fleet and used car sales manager, said: "We are putting our money where our mouth is as we believe the best way of establishing Tribeca is to allow people to drive it."

The B9 Tribeca is priced from £28,995 on-the-road and is powered by a 3.0 litre 253bhp engine. Subaru is targeting business owners and professionals, putting its new model side-by-side with the BMW X5, Volvo XC90, Porsche Cayenne and VW Touareg.
