Sorry for the resolution and slight lagginess! The computer rendering was messed up! We apologize for the error.

Just got a 2024 Outback. Definitely not a performance car, especially with the non-turbo engine, but that's not why I got it. It's a quiet smooth riding car that handles very well. I do wish a few of the functions that are on the 11 inch screen were available as buttons or knobs, but you can adapt easily to them being on the touch screen. Bottom line is that I am very happy with the Outback.

I am driving a 2022 Subaru Ascent Limited and I am very pleased. We plan to purchase a new 2024 Subaru Outback. After driving I highly recommend the 2.4-Liter turbo engine. It makes entering the freeway a breeze. I also love that I can turn off the auto stop/start switch, an item I can't stand!

Looking very cool .... one thing I would like to see on new vehicles is a dash cam for anti-theft purposes and monitoring while driving - would be so much easier to use than aftermarket stuff ...

I have a 2022 Outback Touring with the 2.5 and just hit 44k miles. My lifetime average fuel economy is 28 mpg so I consider the combined EPA number to be pretty bang on. My only complaint for the Outback is that I want a hybrid system! I'm hoping that the 2025 redesign will bring us that!

Purchased a 23 Limited XT about a month ago and absolutely love it. Fits our family of 4 well, and has a great mix of space, comfort, and efficiency. Safety is key as well!

[jeffmorse]

The seats on the Outback and Legacy Limited and Touring are so comfortable. I'm tall and that thigh extension on my Legacy Touring XT really helps on long trips. Plus both them are really quiet and smooth riding. Perfect road trip cars.

One of my favorite cars in our family lineup of audi and bmw vehicles. It’s an honest workaholic vehicle. Does its job very well. Already on my 2nd Outback and can’t wait to buy a 3rd one in 2024 when the new model comes out!

Good job of reviewing the Outback. Glad Mason is able to give us a real-world measurement of the length of the cargo area with his handy dandy tape measure. Subaru gives a measurement of 75 inches, but you never know where the front seats are located when they take that measurement. I know with you the measurement is done with the front seat positioned for Drew, who is a normal height person and close to my height. So the 78 inch measurement you come up with is the number I'm looking for.

Black plastic cladding is awesome - very functional as it brushes away branches on trails. I have the turbo 2.4 and it has a good bit of power. Rides smooth as a baby a** Best car I’ve ever had !

The back seats also recline for additional comfort. Just bought a 2023 Touring XT a few weeks ago. We’re very happy with it. I like it more than our 2018 BMW X3. It’s better equipped and more enjoyable to drive.

I am a committed wagon guy and I love my 2012 Outback 2.5i Limited. Despite its age, there isn't a hint of mechanical faults or interior rattles. The interior is very solid. The power isn't as much as the new ones but I am sure it's still somewhat slow given its weight. I would buy the new one though in a heartbeat. It's a nice wagon that isn't overpriced like the Swedes and German counterparts. I just wish Toyota would make a wagon for the US market. That would be amazing

I just got a 2024 Limited XT, I had the 2020 before. They made great strides with this one. Wireless smart phone connections, heated steering wheel is now 100% around the steering wheel and the heated seats are easier to work (no second pop up screen). I got the remote start on this new one, it is disappointing that it requires a second FOB (the main FOB also auto starts but you have to be really close for it to work). That remote start system is an extra $370.00 USD but in Canada where I am, the cost is $710.00 CAD ($522.00 USD). They should ask me to put my hands in the air when they sell it because it does feel like I am being robbed for that system!

They should have a model or option for cladding delete. On the ice silver and sapphire blue, and a couple other color options, it is less noticeable. That ice color is certainly better than your average silver -- brighter! Crimson red and the metallic green is nice. Of course the dark gray blends in, but I have that on my car, and will be seeking change -- change is good. :)

There’s a lot of foolish comments on here . Firstly, before you make rash judgements go and drive the Outback - it is one of the best reliable cars that are made today. If you want more power try the turbo- oh it’s boring? Drive that and you be shocked. Station wagon boring? Oh and having a SUV like 95% of Americans is not boring? Subarus all wheel drive is awesome - with snow tires it handles any snow and never gets stuck. The cladding is for off road - branches and stones wrecking your paint. The leather seats are excellent and since it’s long the car rides very smooth. I throw 3 big dogs in the back and it goes anywhere. It’s a great practical car - just disable the Auto Start it’s horrible!

I have a soft spot for the Outback and it's always on my shopping list. Several friends have Outbacks and just rave about them. I love the integrated infotainment system that looks like it was done on purpose, not just an iPad stuck on the dashboard (looking at you, Mazda, and others!).

That said, I just generally find the features and performance of other vehicles better (like my current 2016 Mazda CX-5). I like the cladding, but the new trim under the headlights looks like the car's mascara is running, especially against the white paint. 😜 I hope that they offer a plug-in hybrid option down the road as that is what I really want my next vehicle to be.

[broinsocali]

I have a 2021 Outback Premium. It's my car camping road trip car. Love this car, very happy with it.

[ryanfrisby]

Fantastic review as always!
(Also, the frosty hands to frosty the snowman comment was hilarious!)

[chezzyperson]

Subaru should add a dedicated off roader SUV and bring back the Baja as a compact truck to their lineup

[brandonsnyder]

Great reviews!
Hoping they listen and increase storage in the front.
Need to make a new center stack and arm rest are like the new crosstrek.
Love my 2020 Outback however loved my partners 2018 better.
Peppier and more leg room and storage space for some like me at 6ft7.
We both drive Ascents now but would still love to have an Outback side wagon one day.

Question: did they add rear vents to the premium. Heard that only the base didn’t have them and that was a huge downer with my 2020.
