Design & Presence

Subaru Outback wears its outdoorsy intentions without shouting — raised ride height, matte cladding and practical roof rails give it the rugged wagon look rather than flashy SUV bluster. At 4,870 mm long and 1,875 mm wide it has genuine road presence and a long silhouette that signals cargo space before the tailgate opens. The design is pragmatic: detailing is honest and functional, which will suit buyers who prefer utility over trendiness.

Interior & Usability

The cabin puts function first with straightforward controls, logically placed switchgear and comfortable, supportive seats for five that favour long-distance comfort over sports bolstering. Materials are a mix of soft-touch surfaces and durable plastics — not premium luxury but sensibly finished and easy to clean after muddy trips. Visibility is excellent and the seating height makes getting in and out easy for children and older passengers.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Boot volume sits at 561 litres with all seats in use and expands to 1,822 litres with the rear seats folded, meaning the Outback swallows a weekender's worth of kit or a flat-pack purchase with no drama. A 63‑litre fuel tank and roughly 550 kg of payload depending on trim add to long-trip practicality, while the wide tailgate and low load lip make loading bulky items straightforward. Rear legroom is generous and the practical layout includes clever cubby space for wet boots and outdoor gear.

Driving & Handling

The naturally aspirated 2.5‑litre boxer engine produces 169 hp (124 kW) and 252 Nm, paired with a CVT and Subaru's permanent all‑wheel drive for steady, predictable traction in poor weather and on gravel. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes about 10.2 seconds and the top speed is 193 km/h, figures that translate to confident motorway progress rather than sportscar urgency. Ride comfort is compliant and the chassis keeps body control reasonable for a tall wagon, while the low-mounted boxer engine gives a stable feel through bends.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Official consumption sits around 8.6 L/100 km with CO2 emissions roughly 193 g/km, which in everyday use means mid-range fuel bills compared with smaller crossovers and hybrids. With a 63‑litre tank the simple math gives a theoretical range in the region of 700–750 km between fill-ups under steady driving, though urban and towing use will drop that noticeably. For buyers who value AWD and durability over headline economy figures this balance will be acceptable, but fuel costs should be part of the ownership calculation.

Assistance & Infotainment

Subaru's EyeSight suite typically equips the Outback with adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist and automatic emergency braking, delivering a reassuring level of driver assistance rather than cutting-edge autonomy. The infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and is easy to use, though the screen and graphics are functional rather than class-leading and higher trims add better audio and extra convenience features. Safety-focused buyers will appreciate the comprehensive active safety package and simple human-centred interfaces.

Who is it for?

The Outback is aimed at buyers who want the practicality and low centre-of-gravity feel of a wagon combined with true all-wheel-drive capability for year‑round confidence, especially in regions with rain, snow or gravel roads. Current versions are centred on the 2.5i Petrol Automatic All‑Wheel Drive with 169 hp and an official consumption figure of about 8.6 L/100 km, a setup that favours reliability and predictability over outright performance. In short, it's a sensible choice for outdoorsy families, commuters who need grip and anyone who prefers utility and safety over trend-led styling or electrified efficiency.
