Overview
The Subaru Outback is a five-seat mid-size crossover wagon that’s related to the Legacy sedan. The Outback is a tall wagon with off-road credentials and a versatile interior. The base version is a 2.5-liter flat-four rated at 182 horsepower. An available 2.4-liter turbo-4 has 260 horsepower. Power is sent to all four wheels through a Continuously Variable automatic Transmission. The EPA says the Outback is capable of fuel economy in the low 30s on the highway. Regardless of engine the Outback is tremendously capable off-road. Most Outback gets 8.7 inches of ground clearance and an off-road drive mode that helps it tackle tough terrain. A wilderness edition boosts it to 9.5 inches of clearance. All Outback’s have automatic emergency braking adaptive cruise control and active lane control. The Outback is priced from just over $27 000 and comes with twin 7-inch touchscreens with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto along with LED headlights.
