If you plan on tackling dirt, rocks, and mud, you’ll need strong engineering at hand. The Outback is designed from the ground up with this in mind. You’ll be ready for whatever nature has in store thanks to its innate toughness.
The two unique BOXER® style engines make the Outback a true Subaru marvel. The standard 2.5L and the available turbocharged motor are each ready to unleash their power and take you to new vistas. Here’s what you can anticipate when turning the ignition:

---|---|---|
182 HP | 2.5L DOHC engine | 176 lb-ft |
260 HP | 2.4L Turbocharged engine | 277 lb-ft |
This power lets you handle more, especially with the available max towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. The Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) system makes getting up to speed smooth and seamless.
The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system lets the Outback transfer energy to each wheel as needed. It’s a Subaru-exclusive drivetrain perfectly suited for whatever off-road spaces you come across. Whether you face gravel, bumpy hills, or rain-slicked asphalt, you’ll always be in control.
The Outback also comes standard with X-MODE®, which enhances its all-wheel drive versatility. It makes your drive more dynamic and allows you to go farther. When you find steep drops, the Hill Descent Control system makes heading downhill safer.
You’ll be spending a lot of time behind the wheel of your Outback, and your friends and family will want to come along for the adventure. That’s why it’s important to have a thoughtfully designed cabin. Whether you’re heading out alone or with a full crew, the Outback will make sure you’re taken care of.
During your everyday drives and downtown shopping trips, the Outback will support you with plenty of truck space. The default trunk area measures 32.6 cubic feet, which is plenty of space for bags of groceries and light luggage.
If your plans involve a relaxing weekend of R&R, the Outback lets you pack more of your things to make the vacation enjoyable. By folding down the rear seats, you’ll have 75.6 cubic feet of space to use. Larger and longer equipment can easily fit inside for your solo journey into the unknown.
Adventuring is often better with friends, and the Outback keeps them in mind. The spacious cabin has plenty of room to stretch out and get comfortable, highlighted by the 109 cubic feet of passenger volume. Having more room to claim as your own will lead to a comfortable ride.

The Subaru Outback has plenty of strength at work, and there’s an equal amount of intelligence as well. State-of-the-art features make driving more safe and fun than ever before, and you’ll find plenty of each in this Outback.
The right set of driver-assistive technologies can make a huge difference when the unexpected happens on the road. That’s where the Outback’s standard EyeSight® suite of systems comes in. These form a ring of protection around you, always keeping an eye out:
Want to stay connected when you’re out in the world? Standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ support let you easily manage your contacts and messages while on the go. You can access your apps and playlists with a few touches.
The available 11.6-inch STARLINK® Multimedia Plus screen is your gateway to all the features you need. It can even be equipped with built-in navigation for simplified travel when you’re looking for food, fuel, or your next favorite campground.
The Outback shares much in common with the Toyota 4Runner. Their key differences lie in how you can personalize your ride. With the Outback, you’ll have more trim load-outs to select from and unique colors to show your style. The significant boost in fuel economy is a helpful touch, too.

When you compare the Outback to the Jeep Wrangler, one thing becomes clear: freedom. The Subaru Outback gives you more freedom to choose a trim level that suits you, more time out on the road between pit stops, and extra space to store larger cargo. Simply put, the Outback lets you do more.

Along with the superior efficiency we’ve seen in the Outback, it also sports plenty of room for your passengers, particularly those in the back seat. The Ford Bronco simply can’t compete with its own interior. If you’re bringing friends and family along for the ride, you can count on the Outback for a comfortable journey for everyone.
