- The new model rides on the Subaru Global Platform. This change to a stiffer architecture helps to improve both handling and safety.
- A longer wheelbase allows for expanded backseat leg room.
Subaru has revised the base 2.5-liter BOXER engine to produce more power. - A new turbocharged 2.4-liter engine replaces the previous generation's six-cylinder option.
- The available 11.6-inch touchscreen display makes media interaction easier than ever.
Design and Utility
As usual, the Outback has been designed to be one of Subaru's most versatile and well-rounded models. Added backseat space means there's plenty of comfort for all five passengers. This also translates to more overall cargo space -- 75.7 cubic feet, specifically. To access this cavernous cargo area, all you have to do is fold the rear seats down. On the outside, standard roof rails make it easy to strap on extra cargo and equipment.
There's a refined touch in the new Outback as well. Upscale options include leather trim, heated seats and steering wheels, and more.
Performance
There are some performance updates in the new Outback to look forward to. The standard 2.5-liter BOXER engine remains, but it's been reworked to make 182 horsepower. Subaru has also left behind the old six-cylinder engine in favor of a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine that makes 260 horsepower. All models come with standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, 8.7-inchces of ground clearance, and a CVT. Available X-MODE can give the Outback an extra boost of capability off road.
Safety
Expectations are high when it comes to safety in the Outback, and the new model more than meets them. Standard EyeSight Drive Assist technology offers features like Lane Centering, Adaptive Cruise Control, and more that can help you feel more confident on the road. Other available features include Blind-Spot Detection and Rear-Cross Traffic alert.
Technology
The new Outback takes strides with its latest technology offerings. Of particular note is its available 11.6-inch touchscreen display. This feature is a portal to SUBARU STARLINK, an infotainment system developed by Subaru to assist with everything form hands-free calls to navigation and more. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are both standard for the system.
