The Outback is one of Subaru’s most iconic off-roaders, able to effortlessly overcome rugged terrain with its finely tuned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system and capable powertrain. At the same time, the mid-sized SUV’s cabin has all the amenities you could ask for. After reading this quick guide to the 2024 Subaru Outback, don’t be surprised if you find yourself rushing to your local Bay Area Subaru dealership!
Powertrain
A healthy 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque is generated by the Outback’s standard 2.5L DOHC flat-4 engine. Buyers will also have the option of going with a turbocharged 2.4L flat-4 that delivers even more performance at 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque—ideal for serious off-roading enthusiasts. The EPA estimates a highway fuel economy of 32 MPG for the 2.5L and up to 29 MPG for the 2.4L turbo.
The Outback’s Lineartronic continuously variable transmission ensures that there’s always ample power on tap thanks to its use of a step-less gear ratio, but drivers may switch to its 8-speed manual mode.
Off-Roading Performance
Like many other Subarus, the Outback features standard Symmetrical AWD, enabling drivers to enjoy plenty of grip, whether they’re traveling over snowy roads or making their way through jagged trails. The key to this system’s amazing handling in slippery conditions is the way that it’s able to distribute the perfect amount of torque to all four wheels at the same time.
In any instance where wheel slip occurs, Symmetrical AWD compensates by sending extra power to the wheels with the most traction. While standard X-Mode further optimizes the AWD system in especially tough environments, Onyx Edition, Onyx Edition XT, and Wilderness models come with a dual-function X-Mode and its snow/dirt and deep snow/mud modes. As for ground clearance, the Outback offers up to 9.5 inches.
Passenger Cabin
The Outback’s interior is practical, durable, and filled with a generous amount of amenities. With an upright seating position and excellent outward visibility, you will have an easy time being aware of your surroundings. There’s generous space for five adults, including 42.8 inches of front legroom and 39.5 inches of rear legroom. Over 32 cubic feet of cargo space is available behind the rear seats, which fold down to provide 75.6 cubic feet.
Infotainment
Base Outbacks are equipped with dual 7-inch touchscreens, but other models have an 11.6-inch portrait-style display. Whichever option you choose, you’ll get a responsive, high-resolution screen where you can access useful apps like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth audio streaming, and SiriusXM satellite radio. An optional GPS-linked navigation system recognizes voice commands and multitouch gestures.
Few of the Outback’s rivals can truly match it when it comes to providing a combination of hardy performance and a comfort. Contact Stevens Creek Subaru today, where you can check out this model and other great Subaru vehicles!
