2024 Subaru Outback | SUV Review | Driving.ca

The 2024 Subaru Outback Onyx boasts a cool name inspired by geology, or a hip-hop band, or maybe a Pokemon. This model sits between the mid-trim Touring model and the leather-wrapped Limited. The Onyx models stand out thanks to the blacked-out badging and darker wheels. It looks close to the rugged Wilderness model but without all the extra outdoorsy garb.

Those unfamiliar with the Outback range might appreciate a few of its unique qualities. The Subaru brand loves to tout its go-anywhere capabilities, and the Outback manages with 220 mm of ground clearance and standard all-wheel-drive. That combo should help it conquer the majority of off-road conditions. Sure, it might not fare well at rock climbing or deep river fording, but it will tackle deep snow and treacherous cottage routes with confidence.

I have the exact model from the video, and I really like how it looks blue-ish when the sun is out. The size is perfect, and it is super dog friendly.
I agree about the 360 camera, but only to be aware of the surroundings if we are off road, both me and my wife are pretty good at parking without them🤓.

I doubt most people will be drag racing in these cars. Turbo is nice, with penalty being lower gas mileage, more complexity, pressure / heat, and I assume stress to the CVT. You might be able to get $3k to $4k off the stick in USA right now as the 2025 is out. Some already advertised in the high $39Ks. I live close to sea level, so maybe the base engine is OK?

Incredible vehicle. Once it gets Toyotas hybrid engine it’s even better. Fuel economy not so good in current configurations.

Infotainment is awful 😣. It’s only major flaw. Useless with gloves on and submenu searches for basic functions very frustrating. 😡

9/10 ✅
