Just ordered mine in same colors, but with a few more small options. Essentially a luxury car at regular car price with Subaru added reliability.

6:13 Such an emotional moment. That camera quality took me back to my days in mid 2000 when I got my first phone with a nice VGA camera.

I like the way you explained in neat and clean and importantly nothing unwanted or exaggerated you explained

[chuckwalla]

The designing team at Subaru must love that boomerang styling cue.

I had a 2020 outback but got rid of it because the infotainment system was so atrocious. The new 2023 model looks much more responsive than past years.

where is the SI-Drive? Did they sunset this feature from Outback?

[jeffmorse]

Hopefully they'll apply that screen to the 2020-2022 Outback and Legacy with a software update.

As soon as you clicked the buttons on the steering wheel, I instantly wanted an ASMR video.

what is the touch screen response when it is -20*F (or colder) for those of us who live in Alaska, upper limits of continental US, or even Canada? LCDs hate cold weather, and even at a balmy 0*F, hate to react quickly. I hope the seat/steering wheel heater controls remain physical buttons, because you will most like have gloves on for the first 15 minutes of you drive in those temperatures....

We live in the dark ages here in Aus.
I wonder why they don't include the full digital driver screen for the top model. It has been in Japan for years now and is very modern and functional.
We finally got the turbo here in Aus for the 23 model but the touring XT is missing the brown leather, wireless charger, digital mirror, the new facelift, the new eyesight lens and the USB-C at the back row.
The brown leather is only available for the non turbo Touring.
Updates are very slow here. You guys enjoy it!!!

Have a '17 Touring OB, I still think the gadgets are a bit too distracting. Does the auto stop/start still have to be turned off each time you start the car?

Thanks for confirm Android Auto takes up the whole screen now in the 2023 model!

We have a 21 XT touring. Since we bought it, we would randomly have the screen go black & the radio would stop. The AC would still work, but no way to adjust. It would do this about 2x a month. We recently took it for its 18k service and they did a total wipe & software update. So far it has fixed the issue. Thank god. We do love the vehicle other than that. It’s roomy, fast & gets good mpg. No other problems.

Recommended you to test the heated steering wheel at 4-5 clock location, it’s not heated as hot as other portion, I be been tested 4 cars and include mine 23 wilderness same issue

[TheCldmstrsn]

Do you know when they will be releasing the update for the 2021 and 2022 models?

[marykate]

Thanks that was very informative. Waiting for my 2023 OBW from a factory order. Cant wait!!

[kendrogowski]

Is there gong to be an update for 2021 Outback owners to update the touch screen to the new heated seats and fan controls?

[elsaandnoah]

I was pleasantly surprised to find that in Canada, we get more trims & options for 2023. Top trim comes with a choice of either black leather or Java brown. We get the Onyx trim as well as OBW trim. We got a new colour option - dark burgundy metallic.

Thank you, sir. You covered several things that other reviewers missed. And, you gert bonus points from me for being Team Android 🙂 I have subscribed. Again, thanks, and God bless.

Do any of the trims of the 2023 Outback, Forester, or Crosstrek come standard with a hitch receiver? Was the hitch receiver on the Outback Touring you showed dealership installed?
I understand better speakers aren't available for the Outback Wilderness; how would you describe the Wilderness stereo?
