Dealer Comments
2024 Subaru Outback B7A MY24 AWD Wagon 5-dr CVT 8-speed AWD 2.5i O?O the strengths & what people particularly like. If you want, I can also pull together what to be cautious about so you get the full picture.
All-wheel drive (AWD) capability & ground clearance Subaru's full-time AWD system it has excellent grip in bad weather, wet roads or light off-road / gravel. Paired with ~213 mm ground clearance, it handles rougher terrain and rural roads much better than many O??soft-roadO?O SUVs.
Boxer engine smoothness & performance balance The 2.5-litre naturally aspirated O??BoxerO?O four produces about 138 kW of power and 245 Nm of torque. Not a high-output turbo, but smooth, reliable, and excellent for daily driving with a good mid-range punch.
Fuel economy vs capability For what it offers (size, AWD, comfort), the combined fuel consumption is reasonably well balanced: around 7.3 L/100 km combined, 6.2 L/100 km on highway, though higher in city (~9.3 L/100 km). For the class of large AWD wagons, this is solid.
Practical space, towing & load capacity Boot space is quite usable (~522 L with seats up), and with the seats folded the load capacity grows substantially. Towing capacity (braked) is 2,000 kg, which means it can handle substantial trailers or boats.
Modern features & safety tech The MY24 Outback has a strong safety and driver assistance package (EyeSight®), plus features like driver monitoring, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, etc. Also includes things like wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, O??X-ModeO?O (off-road mode), good infotainment setup with a large screen, and generally comfortable front seats & ride.
