Subaru Outback: Engine Options
The Subaru Outback offers two engine options so you can find the right blend of power and efficiency. The standard 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine provides 182 horsepower 176 lb-ft of torque.
The base engine is also the most efficient powerhouse in the lineup. It has an impressive fuel economy of an EPA-estimated 26 city/33 highway MPG, so you can spend less time at the pump and get to your destination more quickly.*
If you want a power upgrade, though, the available 2.4-liter turbocharged DOHC 4-cylinder engine can provide 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. This engine consumes fuel a bit faster, but it still earns respectable gas mileage ratings: up to an EPA-estimated 23 city/30 highway MPG.*
No matter which engine you choose, both options are arranged in a horizontal layout to create a natural balance and low center of gravity to provide an enhanced driving experience.
Both engines also mate with a Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). This gearless transmission helps the Outback achieve a more efficient balance between fuel economy and power.
Subaru Outback: Enhanced Traction
You want to ensure that your car is equipped to handle unpredictable road conditions, from heavy rain to ice. The Subaru Outback has standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive combined with X-MODE® to provide exceptional stability, quick response, and maximum control, so you're protected in low traction situations.
Standard Vehicle Dynamics Control with Active Torque Vectoring further enhances handling. It works by automatically sensing steering and braking inputs to help you stay on your intended path when taking sharp turns or navigating slippery roads.
Subaru Outback: Exterior Dimensions
 The exterior of the Subaru Outback is built to handle your next adventure with a commanding stance of 191.3 inches long and 73 inches wide. Available chrome-accented door handles and side cladding complete the athletic appearance.
In addition to standing 66.1 inches tall, the Outback is standardly raised 8.7 inches off the ground to provide excellent ground clearance for taking on rocky paths. Strap your mountain bikes onto the standard low-profile roof rails to further explore the great outdoors.
Subaru Outback: Interior Dimensions
With 109 cubic feet of total passenger room, you're being treated to a roomy and comfortable cabin in the Subaru Outback. The interior breaks down into the following dimensions:
- Front Headroom:Â 40.1 inches
- Front Legroom:Â 42.8 inches
- Front Shoulder Room:Â 58.1 inches
- Rear Headroom:Â 39.1 inches
- Rear Legroom:Â 39.5 inches
- Rear Shoulder Room:Â 57.4 inches
In addition to providing plenty of space for you and your passengers, the Outback supplies ample cargo room. The Outback has 32.5 cubic feet of cargo space when you need to load up on groceries. If you need more room for a weekend getaway, though, you can fold the 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks to gain a maximum cargo volume of 75.7 cubic feet.
Subaru Outback: Technology Specs
The Subaru Outback can be equipped with some rather impressive technology. In fact, this wagon comes standard with quite the outstanding slate of features. You won't be surprised to hear the Outback features SUBARU STARLINKâ„¢ infotainment-but which specific features are included?
Standardly, the Outback comes equipped with:
- Dual 7-inch touchscreens
- Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®
- Bluetooth® wireless technology
The dual-screen infotainment system is an exciting staple of this Subaru. With the top screen, you can manage the audio system (i.e., your playlists via Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay®, etc.). The bottom screen handles climate controls as well as drive modes and safety features.
Of course, this being Subaru, a more advanced SUBARU STARLINKâ„¢ system can be added to your vehicle. The upgraded version features a single 11.6-inch touchscreen display with access to integrated navigation. With a portrait-style screen, it features sharper graphics and intuitive menus for every function.
And the stereo? Plug into the available 12-speaker Harman Kardon® premium audio system that transforms the cabin into your own personal concert hall!
Subaru Outback Wilderness Specs
Subaru adds a new trim level to the Outback line for 2022: the Wilderness. It's the first vehicle in the Wilderness family, but we expect to see Wilderness trim levels for other Subaru vehicles, with the name signaling off-road potential.
Speaking of off-road potential, the Outback Wilderness certainly has it! This trim features a raised suspension to achieve a ground clearance of 9.5 inches, more than any other Subaru Outback trim available.
And that's just the beginning of what the Outback Wilderness has in store. Specs for the off-road-capable wagon include:
- 17-inch matte black-finish wheels
- Yokohama GEOLANDAR® all-terrain tires
- Integrated tow points and extended lower cladding
- StarTex® water-repellant upholstery
- Anodized copper-finish interior accents
A paragon of style and all-out capability, this Outback is one impressive vehicle! All-terrain tires and extended lower cladding offer even greater protection when you leave the pavement behind.
Standard EyeSight® Driver Assistance
 Like many other Subaru models, the Outback offers standard driver-assist tech. It features EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, a suite of active safety features that includes:
- Automatic Pre-Collision Braking
- Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
- Lane Departure and Sway Warning
These features will help you stay within your lane and help mitigate or prevent front-end collisions with vehicles ahead.
