Updates for 2023
The Outback has introduced several updates to its 2023 model year including a refreshed exterior styling that includes a larger grille, revised headlamps, and a new front bumper. The Outback reshuffled its features list, and driver-assistance features were improved by cameras with a wider field of view. The Onyx Edition trim also makes its debut for the Outback.
The Volvo V90 revised its trim lineup for the 2023 model year. The V90 adds Plus and Ultimate trim levels, and three new exterior paint colors were added.
Interior
The Outback has plenty to offer with its well-built interior and comes standard with cloth upholstery. The two-row Outback can seat up to five people and there is plenty of space for all passengers. A dual 7-inch touchscreen is standard for the Outback, but an 11.6-inch touchscreen is available. The cargo space is impressive with 32.6 cubic feet behind the second row and 75.6 cubic feet with the second row folded down. The low lift-over height makes it easy to load cargo, and a hands-free power liftgate is available.
While the Volvo V90 does offer an upscale interior it falls short due to road noise disturbing occupants. The V90 also has less cargo space than the Outback, with only 19.8 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and 69 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. The V90 also has a hands-free power liftgate available. The V90 infotainment system is a learning curve, and with fewer physical buttons and knobs, it can be frustrating for some.

Performance
The Outback base model is powered by its standard 2.5-liter flat 4-cylinder engine that produces 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. A turbocharged 2.4-liter flat 4-cylinder engine that produces 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque is available. All-wheel drive and continuously variable automatic transmission is standard in all models. The Outback gets above-average fuel economy with 26 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. The handling on the Outback is confident and it also has impressive ride quality.
Critics found that the V90’s powertrain won’t wow you, but it does provide you with enough power for everyday driving. The V90 gets 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. The brakes also have a spongy feeling, and the ride quality deteriorates on rougher roads.
