2023 Subaru Outback

The 2023 Subaru Outback is an automotive nameplate used by Japanese automaker Subaru. The 2023 Subaru Outback is nicely equipped with more ground clearance than a regular wagon, plenty of room for cargo, and standard specs. Its raised ride height and rugged exterior allow the 2023 Outback to blend in among SUVs, but the station wagon body gives you more practicality. Buyers have a choice of a non-turbo or turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but all Outbacks come standard with all-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

2023 Subaru Outback rivals, including the Audi A4 Allroad and Volvo V60 Cross Country, offer similar looks, but the Outback has the lifted station wagon aesthetic and thousands of fewer capacities than these luxury cars. Subaru made a few changes to the 2023 Outback. Tweaked front-end styling includes a larger grille, revised headlights, and a new front bumper. The Outback driver assistance features are enhanced by cameras with a wider field of view.

2023 Subaru Outback : Interior

The 2023 Outback shares most of its interior with the Legacy, and both have comfortable accommodations and quality materials. Subaru’s cabin design is boring, but functional and has a high seating height. Besides the base model, every Outback features dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and plenty of USB ports. More luxury features such as a heated steering wheel ventilated front seats, electrically adjustable front passenger seat, and heated rear seats are available on more luxury trim levels.

The Outback also has a large rear seat that offers an extra 1.4 inches of legroom compared to the previous generation. The rear cargo area provides 33 cubic feet of space; In our tests, it held 11 carry-on luggage with the backseat raised and 23 bags folded. Legacy accepted eight and 22 suitcases, respectively, in the same tests.

All other skins are equipped with a large 11.6-inch touchscreen. This portrait-style display offers sharper graphics and additional functionality for audio and climate control systems. It also responds quickly to inputs. However, on the downside, most of the features are embedded in the menus and only a small part of the screen is used when viewing navigation or smartphone integration functions. Simply put, his work is a bit of a distraction. The standard infotainment system features dual 7-inch touchscreens, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, two USB ports, HD Radio, satellite radio, and a four-speaker stereo.

2023 Subaru Outback : Engine

The 2023 Subaru Outback has two engine options: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 182 horsepower and a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 260 horsepower. The standard 2.5-liter engine feels energetic enough to pull the Outback around town, but when harder acceleration is desired, this flat-four provides more noise than forwarding motion. Shifting power is lacking and the transmission’s simulated shifts are unnatural at times.

When equipped with a base engine, the Outback gets an EPA-rated 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. It has great gas mileage for a wagon and outperforms even adventurous compact SUVs like the Ford Bronco Sport and Jeep Cherokee. The Outback’s turbocharged engine delivers a lower 23/30 mpg.

2023 Subaru Outback : Safety

Neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash-tested the 2023 Outback, but both organizations did test a similar 2021 model. NHTSA gave the 2023 Outback an overall safety rating of five out of five, with five stars in the frontal and side crash tests and four stars in the rollover test. IIHS gave the 2021 Outback the highest Good rating in all six crash safety tests and for how well the headlights illuminate the road. I Hope, in testing, 2023 Subaru Outback can earn the highest rating of Superior for standard frontal collision avoidance systems.
