From its rugged exterior design to its seating arrangement that comfortably fits up to five passengers, the 2023 Subaru Outback has everything you need in an adventure-ready, midsize SUV. Let’s find out why this model stands apart from the pack!
1. New Features for 2023
The 2023 Outback has been given a fresh, new look that includes a larger grille, a more prominent front bumper, and revised headlamps. An overhaul of available and standard features provides an opportunity for buyers to customize their Outback to fit their specific needs easily. In addition, the all-new Onyx Edition trim debuts with a standard 2.5-liter engine.
2. Engine and Performance
The 2023 Outback comes with two engine offerings to satisfy a range of performance needs. The standard 2.5-liter flat four-cylinder produces 182 horsepower and is designed for reliable daily driving. For shoppers looking for more power, the optional turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder provides an additional 78 horses, topping out at 260 hp. Both engines output their power through a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
3. Off-Road Performance
The Outback comes standard with 8.7 inches of ground clearance. The X-MODE® optimizes engine output and transmission ratio for maximum traction and power in all-terrain situations. For a greater off-road experience, there’s the Wilderness model, which provides 9.5 inches of ground clearance thanks to bespoke off-road tires and an improved suspension.
In addition, the Wilderness trim has skid plates as well as Snow and Mud drive modes to help drivers tackle any road condition with confidence.
4. Interior and Cargo Space
The two-row Outback offers plenty of amenities that enhance its appeal. Standard features include wired Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HD Radio, dual 7-inch touch screens, and a four-speaker stereo.
Optional extras include a moonroof, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, as well as proximity keyless entry. Folding down the second-row seats unlocks 75.6 cubic feet of cargo space. In addition, the optional hands-free power liftgate makes it easy to load and unload heavy items.
5. Gas Mileage
Models equipped with the base engine earn 26 mpg in the city and 32 on the highway. Most turbocharged models receive 22 mpg in the city and 29 on the highway.
6. Ride and Handling
The Outback’s handling is smooth, confident, and precise. Braking is responsive and predictable, which adds to the overall confidence level when you’re driving. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) enables the Outback to maintain maximum torque for smooth shifts and acceleration. In addition, the standard all-wheel drive technology provides drivers with maximum control in all conditions.
From increased safety features to a more comfortable ride, this vehicle is sure to turn heads. If you’re in the market for a new car, head on down to Subaru of Ann Arbor today and take the Outback for a test drive.
