Turbo time! 2023 Subaru Outback review: Sport XT | Fast family wagon you should consider over an SUV
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2024
- The 2023 Subaru Outback is an outlier in the Large SUV segment, mostly because it's actually a high-riding wagon and not a Sports Utility Vehicle - but those lines keep getting blurred as the years go on.
Either way, the Outback levelled with the recent introduction of a turbocharged engine option. That's right; the go-fast XT badge has returned to Subaru Australia's model line-up, now proudly worn by the segment-straddling crossover.
Specifically, under the bonnet is a 183kW/350Nm 2.0-litre boxer four-cylinder petrol unit, which is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and Subaru's signature symmetrical all-wheel-drive system.
So, in this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar finds out whether the Outback XT was worth waiting for, by putting to test its 'entry-level' Sport variant. After all, it might be a better bet than a Nissan X-Trail or a Kia Sorento.

Thank you for a realistic informative review. This vehicle is on our list.
Love it .. need XT for the Forester
Great review thank you
Really funny that an ad before the video was for a Mazda C60 lol
I wish I discovered Subaru years ago ….
Good job from Florida
❤ my XT
No front sensors in 2023 really. My old 2018 has that. Not sure why 😢
Nice review Emily, thank you! Just a question on the material on the seats you didn't seem to be a fan off... what does it feel like, is there anything comparable? Is it extra sticky in the heat or something? Reason enough to look at the Touring spec instead? Thanks!
Feels like a wet suit. It’s meant to be good if you get it dirty or wet.
Thanks Mark
The seat material is fine and much better than the leather in the Touring.
@@shaneandersen1316 thanks, i was wondering how it compares, looks softer, but you never know
They just need to drop that in the Forrester
It's possibly coming end of year. My fingers a crossed!
@@unstealthypanda 😮😮😮🔥🔥
@3:12 did I hear that right? 😂
Not a great review…. Didn’t build on any of the other reviews out and about…
bit of a baseless critique of the review given the nature of most reivews
Review doesn’t tell us anything
You can tell she knows nothing about cars. She's not even a journalist.
love Subaru
Haha certainly not fast!
Nothing is fast compared to a Tesla which hits 100 in 2.5 seconds. But a Tesla can’t take you camping
Compared to what?
@@australianmade2659 Yeah, Teslas also have extra features like randomly catching fire, and keeps burning for days releasing toxic fumes making them a hazard to all who live nearby.
Oh no another CVT 🤮
Boring
