Meet the Subaru Outback!
Subaru has simplified the Outback line-up to make the point of entry as accessible as possible. There’s three clearly defined trim levels to choose from - the well-equipped Limited, the off-road optimised Field and the luxurious Touring - and just a single petrol engine option.
But is it as nice to drive around town than it is off the beaten track? And how does it compare to other jacked-up estates like the Volvo V60 and V90 Cross Country, and genuine off-roaders like the Toyota Land Cruiser? Let’s take a look...

As a proud owner of a MY 2023 Outback Touring in Australia I must say I agree with many of your comments.
What you reviewed was MY 2022 here. Are you getting the same engine tune as us (138kW at 5800 RPM and 245 Nm at 3400-4600 RPM)? I find it certainly not fast but powerful enough for our speed-limited conditions (110 KPH limit on freeways).
Coming from a hydropneumatic Citroen C5, the drop in ride comfort is significant, but to a large degree depending on tyre pressure.
At 30 PSI front, 27 PSI back it is quite good. We have some horrible coarse chip road surfaces here, so I noise deadened the car a bit to avoid the loud road noise - but I did it with all my previous cars. It is very quiet on good surfaces and good enough on the dreadful stretches of our freeways now. Engine and transmission I find actually quite good and the most enjoyable part is the lack of delay on take off (no turbo to spool up) at intersections. The recent fishing trip proved the superb ability of Subaru's off-road drive system.
To summarise, there is no better car in Australia not costing a fortune for a person, who enjoys long country trips with some off road component, but lives in a city.
that tire pressure on the Bridgestone's is below the manufacturer's recommended pressures -not ideal.
From the looks of things doubt you'll be using the sunroof much.
Looks a really interesting left field choice and I quite like how Subaru have remained individual and quirky (boxer engines etc), CVT kills it for me though, torque converter auto or manual would be fine but CVT is a deal breaker for anyone remotely interested in driving (in my humble opinion)... Thanks for the review!
Recently upgraded my Gen 5 Prem to Gen 6 Touring in Magnetite Grey. Turbo engine would be better, but mine gets around the highlands of Scotland fine, and handles winter conditions very well with the std tyres. Highly recommend all weather mats and boot cover. Watch the lane assist when on narrow roads, better to turn it off.
I am in the Cairngorms. Lane assist only gets switched on south of Perth :)
Full rubber mats all round for me too, but also a set of winter wheels as well. I live 900 feet up a hill, along a single track road that’s not ploughed, so I really do need something that will handle snow.
I have a Premium SE but take delivery of a Gen 6 Field in a few weeks. Having waterproof seats swung it for me. I often step out the river straight into the car with waders on. ☺️
This will be my third one.
Hybrid option has to be next.
Currently have a 2019 model, my new one arrives in a couple of weeks. It will be my third one :)
Exciting stuff! Best of luck with your new Subaru 👍
Actually not bad fuel economy. The 4 wd system is permanent 4 wd drive, not ”on demand ” system. 4 wd drive adds normaly aprox 1l/100km to fuel economy.
I don’t know what that is in MPG, but I have averaged 40.2mpg over 41,000 miles.
If you can't be bothered to read the brochure, watch an OSV review.
"The side profile exudes a dynamic silhouette" 🙄
very british, raining video¡
That engine is sooooo under powered. Load up that car and it goes nowhere. Turbo model please.
incorrect. It's not a Porsche but its more than adequate - Dully loaded, 4 adults, boot full and mountain bikes on the Thule bike rack, no problem driving to the high country here in Australia.
@@shaun1900 I have driven many. Very inadequate. Try overtaking. I am waiting on the turbo model.
Perfectly fine for 99% of drivers. Clearly not the vehicle for you.
@@Studat What absolute rubbish, I have a 1971, 911, the latest gen WRX and a v6 Grand Cherokee in the garage so I understand engine outputs, power to weight etc... and whilst its no sports car, the Outback is more than adequate fully loaded on the freeway and driving up steep mountain passes here in Australia. Did 400k's round trip yesterday and it was a dream, I wouldn't have taken any of the other cars - its the swiss army knife of cars
@@shaneandersen1316 I believe that's what I was saying.
