Verdict With standard all-wheel drive, impressive ground clearance, and outdoorsy good looks — plus a comfortable ride, roomy interior, and strong fuel economy for its class — the Subaru Outback offers the utility of an SUV with few of the compromises. Overview Trims & Pricing Performance Interior Safety Owner Reviews Overview The Outback — which is basically a lifted all-wheel-drive wagon — has been a winning formula for Subaru since its debut almost 30 years ago. And the sixth generation, launched in 2020, is no different. But now, in addition to its trail-ready running gear, the Outback offers a fully modern driving experience, with an upscale interior, a suite of standard driving aids, and an available 11.6-inch touchscreen, one of the largest in this segment. It does lack a third row, however. For that, you'll have to look to the larger , while the offers similar capabilities in a slightly smaller and less deluxe package. Though the Outback offers a compliant, car-like ride, you won't mistake it for a sports car. Its standard four-cylinder engine can feel underpowered at times. But, on the plus side, it does achieve better-than-average fuel economy for its class. A peppier turbocharged engine is available, but it comes at a considerably higher price. ...See More What's New for 2022 For 2022, the new Wilderness trim debuts, giving the Outback additional off-road prowess with the looks to match.

Engine and Performance The Outback offers two four-cylinder engines: a 2.5-liter base unit makes 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque and a turbocharged 2.4-liter with 260 hp and 277 lb-ft. Both use a continuously variable automatic transmission, which helps improve its efficiency but can feel unnatural compared to a standard automatic. All Outbacks come with all-wheel drive and an X-Mode feature that helps provide additional traction in slippery conditions. The Onyx XT and Wilderness trims get additional X-Mode settings for Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud. ...See More Fuel Economy The Environmental Protection Agency rates the base 2.5-liter engine-equipped Subaru Outback at an estimated 26 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 29 mpg combined. The turbocharged 2.4-liter comes in 3 mpg lower at 23/30 mpg city/highway, and 26 mpg combined. However, the taller ride height and additional equipment of the Wilderness trim drop that slightly to 22/26 mpg city/highway and 24 mpg combined.

The cushy seats and soft armrests mark a contrast to older Outbacks, and the Limited and Touring trims come with leather. Seating is strictly for five (buyers needing a third row are directed to the Subaru Ascent). But passenger space is generous in both front and rear, with a nearly flat floor making the rear middle seating position more tolerable. ...See More Infotainment and Connectivity All but the base version of the 2022 Subaru Outback come with an 11.6-inch vertically oriented touchscreen that boasts modern graphics and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The large screen can display multiple functions at once. Outside of the huge screen, the Outback has volume and tuning knobs as well as physical buttons for adjusting cabin temperature and some other climate controls. We like the mix of old and new, but there are still some functions that are buried in the touchscreen menus that we wish were easier to access. It is not ideal, nor is having to return to the home screen in order to move between menu functions. ...See More 2022 Subaru Outback Interior Photos Safety The 2022 Outback achieved top five-star ratings in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash-tests and a four-star rollover rating, for an overall five-star rating.

They include the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Edge, and Hyundai Santa Fe, among others. The Outback is not only one of the most attractively priced of the group, but it also has a reputation for reliability and a strong resale value. With standard AWD and impressive ground clearance, the Outback can easily handle mud or deep snow. However, it's not a true trail rig in the manner of a (although a Wilderness model announced for 2022 promises greater off-road ability). And unlike the Blazer RS or Edge ST, there's no sporty Outback variant. ...See More 2022 Subaru Outback Owner Ratings & Reviews 6th Generation Subaru Outback 2020 - Present Overall Rating 4.9 10 out of 10 Based on 1,137 Ratings Performance 4.8 Comfort 4.7 Fuel Efficiency 4.3 Safety Technology 4.8 Features 4.8 All Reviews 5.0 10 out of 10 Performance 5.0 Comfort 4.0 Fuel Efficiency 3.0 Safety Technology 5.0 Features 5.0 PROS Holds the road extremely well.

Good road visibility and converts easily from passenger vehicle to cargo vehicle. CONS Overly complex non intuitive controls buried in an 11.5 inch computer screen. Engine auto start stop system that needs to be disabled every time you start the car. An excess of technology (such as keep your eyes on the road) although they can be disabled in software. Light steering with not much on center feel.

It provides a statistically accurate understanding of what other buyers are paying for the least expensive configuration of this vehicle. Adjustments to the calculation beyond make, model, and trim are normalized based on detailed, anonymized transaction information. This accounts for the fact that most or all recently-sold vehicles included different option combinations. The data underlying the Starting Market Average calculation are filtered for extreme outliers and subjected to a weighted averaging process that considers factors such as the recency of transactions and the timing of data lags. In certain instances, the calculated result is adjusted to take account of abrupt changes in the market that may not yet be fully reflected by recent transaction prices. In all cases where the Starting Market Average is shown there is sufficient sample size and transaction detail to be statistically reliable.
