Vehicle Type Station wagon With five seats and a relatively generous cargo hold with an easy-to-use load-in height, Outback was a popular choice for the shopper after space, versatility, and confidence in any weather. History/Description Details on the new-for-2015 Subaru Outback began hitting the web in mid-2014. This latest

If I were to give a most-improved award to one new vehicle for 2015, the Subaru Outback would take the honours. At first blush, this jacked-up wagon doesn’t immediately distinguish itself as being significantly better than or even much different from its predecessor. But dismissing this as nothing more than a mid-cycle freshening would be a mist

It’s Subaru’s rocket wagon! It’s Subaru’s rocket wagon! Give the Outback 3.6R’s throttle a smash, and it sails away from where it was with an instant helping of torque, strong pull through the rev-range, and a pleasing and tastefully-restrained growl. The 256 hp from the big flat six seems a bit modest on paper, though the performanc

I had not driven a Subaru Outback in a long time. When I say a long time, I mean I had not driven a Subaru Outback since 2006, for my very first automotive review – ah, the memories. The interior of the 2017 Outback has to be one of the best Subaru interiors I have sampled in recent memory. I have driven other Subarus recently – like th

BOWMANVILLE, ONT. – If you own a “Save the Manuals” T-shirt, take note: one more is gone. As of 2018, the Subaru Legacy – one of the few mainstream midsize sedans to offer a stick – finally takes out the far left pedal, as does its Outback sibling. Subaru’s midsize sedan has been on a roller-coaster ride It isn’t that much of a deal

Photography by Stephanie Wallcraft With the new Legacy sedan debuting in Chicago a few months ago, it's no surprise that the updated Outback would soon follow. Like the Legacy, the car gets a new chassis, a new turbocharged engine, and new tech options. The 2020 Outback rides on Subaru's newest platform that the company says is stiffer in jus

Subaru's Outback mid-size crossover gets what the automaker calls a major refresh for 2018, along with a $1,300 bump in base price to $29,295, which coincides with the discontinuation of the manual transmission that was part of last year's entry-level package. However, that new staring price is the same as the 2017 tag for last year's base model

Is it a sin to lose one’s individuality if you make more friends as a result? Once the proud purveyor of a showroom stuffed with personality, Subaru has ridden a wave of sales success that has broadened its market at the same time as it has homogenized its offerings almost across the board. The modern Outback has ballooned considerably, brin

NEW YORK – Traditionally, Subaru has been one of those outlier brands; posting modest sales but boasting a staunchly loyal fan base rooted in individualism. Once known for their quirky, yet tough and capable all-wheel-drive vehicles, they found greater success in the pursuit of mainstream acceptability. It’s paid off for them with 64 consecutive mo

It’s nice to know that there are certain things you can count on in this life, like best friends, rising taxes, and the consistency of the Subaru Outback. Hasn’t necessarily changed a whole lot […] because that’s exactly how its devotees like it, thank you very much. Rugged, capable, and sitting in its very own space somewhere between w

Subaru has always been a bit of an underdog automaker with a dedicated but growing following. With its standard, always-on all-wheel-drive system, the brand has crept up the sales charts and is experiencing popularity like never before. Canadians have cast their ballots, and the Subaru Outback has been voted as the Most Trusted SUV/Crossover in

Subaru’s advertising for the 2020 Outback depicts the SUV competing in a series of tasks that showcase its outdoorsy prowess against its nemesis, a serious-looking mountain goat. As formidable as the goat is, he simply bows out when it comes to hauling a canoe, while the Outback happily bounds through the wilderness, boat strapped to its roof rack.

Cars, trucks, and crossovers just keep getting better and better, and while that means more good options for Canadian buyers, it doesn’t mean that all cars are equal – there are many vehicles that stand out by going above and beyond what’s expected. That’s what we’re looking for when we’re voting on winners for the autoTRADER.ca Awards. Our jury of

Subaru has announced pricing for its 2017 Legacy sedan and Outback crossover models, along with enhanced active safety features. The brand's EyeSight safety suite gains reverse automatic braking and high-beam assist, which become part of the Technology Package available on most trim levels. Both models also gain a couple of new trims, which spor

Freshly redesigned, the 2020 Subaru Outback  went the route of evolution over revolution in its sixth generation. It may look the same, but this Outback is marginally bigger, rides on the fresh Subaru Global Platform, and gets new tech along with some extra rear legroom. Also available is a new engine option.
