Whether you're a seasoned Subaru fan or in the market for your first SUV, the latest iteration of this popular crossover offers a compelling package worth your attention. Here's an in-depth exploration of the features and specs that make the redesigned Subaru Outback a standout. more New Outbacks Call Us! Exterior Design The 2025 Subaru Outback showcases the signature rugged exterior design for which most Subaru SUVs are known. While it retains the overall look of its predecessor, its front end has a bolder look, with design elements such as a rugged front grille and LED fog lights. Its generous ground clearance of 8.7 inches (9.5 inches for the Wilderness trim) cements its position as a bona fide adventure SUV, while the 18-inch wheels on higher trims give it a commanding presence on and off the road. The model features high roof rails with swing-in-place crossbars, perfect for securing cargo, bikes, or kayaks when heading out on outdoor adventures. It also offers seven exterior paint colors: Autumn Green Metallic, Crystal Black Silica, Magnetite Gray Metallic, Crystal White Pearl, Cosmic Blue Pearl, Ice Silver Metallic, and Dark Mahogany Pearl. Interior Comfort and Convenience Inside the new Subaru Outback, you'll find room for up to five passengers and generous cargo space. Its cabin has a clean look, with many comfort and tech features that make it highly functional without being excessively flashy. The cabin is quieter than ever, thanks to enhanced sound insulation, and the seats provide maximum comfort and support for long drives. The standard driver's seat is adjustable in 10 ways and has two-way lumbar support. Meanwhile, higher trims, including the Limited and Limited XT, feature a 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat, four-way lumbar support, and an eight-way power-adjustable front passenger seat. The 2025 Subaru Outback also has many amenities to enhance your cabin experience. The heated steering wheel in higher trims comforts your hands during cold weather, while the USB-A and USB-C charging ports in the rear center console ensure your phone battery never runs out. Additionally, the new Outback has a long list of available convenience features to further bolster the driver and passenger experience. Some notable ones include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a leather-wrapped gear shift knob, and a wireless phone charging pod. Performance and Capability The 2025 Subaru Outback continues to deliver rugged performance, albeit with even more power under the hood. The model is available in two robust SUBARU BOXER engine options, ensuring enough versatility for different driving needs and preferences. The standard powerplant is a direct-injection 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. This engine is linked to a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission to deliver a balanced ride and excellent fuel economy of up to 32 mpg on the highway. If you're seeking extra power, you can opt for the available 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER, with a maximum output of 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are linked to Subaru's legendary symmetrical all-wheel-drive system, delivering exceptional all-road and all-weather capabilities and supreme handling. If you're an adventure enthusiast, you'll appreciate the Wilderness trim's upgraded off-road capabilities, with increased ground clearance and specialized X-MODE settings. The turbocharged variant accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, while the base engine accomplishes it in 8.5 seconds. Safety and Technology Subaru has long been known for its commitment to safety, and the 2025 Outback continues that legacy with cutting-edge driver-assistance technologies. The award-winning EyeSight Driver Assist Technology comes standard across all trims, with numerous features to boost your confidence behind the wheel. Some noteworthy active safety systems on the latest generation of this safety suite include adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, pre-collision braking, and lane-keep assist. The 2025 Subaru Outback also offers premium safety features on its higher trims for even more enhanced safety. For instance, the DriverFocus distraction mitigation system, available on the Limited XT and Touring XT trims, uses a front-facing camera facial recognition software to monitor fatigue or lack of attention. If the driver starts exhibiting signs of being distracted, the system sends out alerts to refocus their attention. The latest Subaru Outback doesn't disappoint when it comes to keeping you connected on the road. The Base model's infotainment setup features dual 7-inch touch-screen displays, providing access to connectivity, entertainment, and navigational apps. The system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing seamless smartphone integration. The Outback Base offers additional cabin tech, such as Bluetooth and Sirius XM compatibility. Higher Subaru Outback trims have a large 11.6-inch touch-screen display with crisp graphics and a more aesthetically pleasing design. Like the standard infotainment system, this upgraded display supports wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Sirius XM. Trim Levels and Options The 2025 Outback offers nine distinct trim levels to suit different preferences: the Base, Premium, Onyx Edition, Limited, Touring, Onyx Edition XT, Wilderness, Limited XT, and Touring XT. Each model introduces additional features and standard equipment as you move up the lineup. For instance, the Premium trim offers an All-Weather Package, which includes heated exterior mirrors, heated front seats, and a windshield wiper deicer. In the Onyx trim, you'll get StarTex water-resistant upholstery and 18-inch black finish alloy wheels. The Limited and Limited XT trims offer a power moonroof, and the latter adds a heated steering wheel and the DriverFocus distraction mitigation system.

Subaru presents two exceptional compact SUV choices. The wagon-inspired Outback and the more traditional Forester both feature the brand's signature dependability and all-wheel-drive capability, yet appeal to different driver tastes. The Outback, with its smooth outline and car-like control, first appeared in 1994. The Forester, introduced in 1997, features an angular shape and tall posture. Deciding which of these SUVs best fits your lifestyle depends on factors such as whether you need lots of storage room or want to handle tough terrain. We'll examine their design, inside space, power, tech, safety tools, and cost to assist you in making your choice so that one of these SUVs can join you on your next trip, whether it's on flat roads or hard off-road paths in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. more New Outbacks New Foresters Call Us! Exterior Design When it comes to exterior aesthetics, the Outback and Forester each carve their own distinct path. The former, at 191.9 inches long, 74.2 inches wide, and 66.1 inches tall, shows off a wagon-like shape with a smooth roofline. Its long 108.1-inch wheelbase makes for a comfy ride and spacious interior. The latter, on the other hand, looks more like a classic SUV. It's 68.1 inches tall, 182.7 inches long, and 71.5 inches wide. Both models sit 8.7 inches off the ground, but Wilderness variants go even higher (9.5 inches for the Outback and 9.2 inches for the Forester). The wagon-inspired Outback combines car-like grace with SUV usefulness, featuring roof rails with built-in crossbars and an optional power liftgate. The compact Forester's angular shape and large windows provide excellent visibility, complemented by an optional panoramic moonroof or athletic roof spoiler. These different styles mean you can pick a Subaru that fits your taste, whether you want the wagon-inspired mix of looks or the bolder SUV presence. Interior Comfort and Space The interior of both SUVs caters to diverse needs while maintaining spacious configurations. The base Forester takes the lead with 111.6 cubic feet of passenger space. Its companion model provides 109.0 cubic feet, dropping to 107.5 with a moonroof. Yet, the versatile Outback wins in cargo room. It features 32.6 cubic feet behind the back seats and 75.6 cubic feet when folded, beating the Forester's 28.9 and 74.2 cubic feet. Both vehicles offer ample rear legroom, with the Outback providing 39.5 inches and the Forester closely following at 39.4 inches. Taller folks may favor the Forester, which offers 41.2 inches of front headroom or 40.2 with a moonroof. The Outback gives 40.1 inches, which decreases to 39.1 with a moonroof. Tech fans might prefer the Outback's optional 11.6-inch touch-screen system. This feature is much larger than the Forester's biggest 8.0-inch screen. For a touch of luxury, the Outback offers Nappa leather seats. The Forester, focusing on usefulness, has a higher seating position. This design choice gives drivers a clear view of the road and their environment. Performance and Handling Subaru's Outback and Forester offer unique driving experiences. While the Outback offers two engine choices — a 2.5L four-cylinder producing 182 horsepower and a robust 2.4L turbo generating 260 horsepower — the only option with the Forester is a 2.5L four-cylinder engine that delivers182 horsepower. This difference in power shows up in how fast the vehicles can go. The turbo model speeds from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds. The basic versions take longer, at 8.6 and 8.1 seconds. Regarding fuel efficiency, these SUVs deliver almost identical performance. Both achieve up to 26 mpg in urban settings, while the Outback gets 32 mpg and the Forester 33 mpg on open roads. The larger SUV shines when it comes to towing. It can pull 2,700 pounds, or 3,500 with the turbo engine. Its companion model can tow 1,500 pounds, with its Wilderness version able to handle 3,000 pounds. Subaru's well-known Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive configuration is standard on both automobiles. The Outback's longer wheelbase contributes to a smoother ride, whereas the Forester's compact size enhances maneuverability in congested urban environments. Technology and Features Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the Outback and Forester showcase Subaru's commitment to innovation. The former features an 11.6-inch vertical touch screen, which gives drivers a big, clear view of the infotainment system. Though smaller, the latter's 8.0-inch touch screen is still easy to use. Each vehicle works well with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can use your phone's apps on the car's screen. These features make driving more fun and less stressful. If you love music, you might like the Harman Kardon sound systems you can add to either vehicle. Both can also connect to the internet with 4G LTE Wi-Fi. While the bigger screen might catch your eye, both automobiles pack in lots of useful tech. Safety Ratings and Features The Outback and Forester stand out in safety. The 2023 model of the former earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick+ award, while the latter obtained the Top Safety Pick honor. Both SUVs got five-star overall safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. These ratings prove their solid crash protection. The standard EyeSight system adds advanced features to these vehicles. It includes pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control with lane centering. These models offer optional blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert to boost your road awareness. The Outback's DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System is available on more trim levels than the Forester, which only has it on the Touring trim. At the core of these models is Subaru's Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame, which offers improved crash energy absorption. Pricing and Trim Levels While the 2024 Subaru Outback's MSRP starts at $30,240, its relative, the Forester, begins at a slightly lower price point of $28,440. These vehicles offer various versions to suit different needs and budgets, with the Outback lineup featuring Base, Premium, Onyx Edition, Limited, Touring, Onyx Edition XT, Limited XT, Touring XT, and Wilderness trims. Prices span from $30,240 to $44,140. The Forester follows suit, offering Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, Touring, and Wilderness options. Its price range stretches from $28,440 to $38,740.

The Subaru Outback makes a bold statement with its eye-catching exterior and generous cargo space. This SUV-wagon mix has won over outdoor fans and families since it first appeared in 1994. In this article, we provide you with all the information you need about the vehicle's cavernous trunk and what it means for practicality and everyday utility. more New Outback Inventory Overview of Trunk Space The Outback offers an impressive storage capacity of 32.6 cubic feet behind the back seats. When you lower the second row, this space is expanded to 75.6 cubic feet, which is similar to many other compact SUVs. This allows you to effortlessly transport anything you need, such as personal belongings, grocery bags, luggage, or sports gear. The meticulous design of this SUV features a low floor and wide door opening, allowing for easy loading and unloading. Some models offer a power liftgate for effortless hands-free opening, which is convenient when your hands are full. When compared with other established brands, the Outback holds its own against popular compact crossovers such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. From 2010 to 2014, the Subaru Outback's wheelbase increased by 2.8 inches, while it's 3.6 inches wider. From 2015 to 2019, an additional 2 cubic feet was added to the Outback's cargo area. These modifications make it an excellent choice if you require substantial space for your belongings without compromising on comfort. Cargo Capacity The Outback's exceptional storage capacity is perfect for any task, whether you're grocery shopping or on an extended outdoor adventure. You can fit 11 carry-on suitcases in the trunk with the back seat up. Folding the rear seats flat provides you with space for 23 bags. This exceptional cargo space allows you to concentrate on your journey without worrying about whether the luggage will fit. The Subaru Outback prioritizes storage adaptability. The 60/40-split back row can be folded to create a flat floor that's perfect for moving large items such as furniture or camping gear. Thoughtful, practical touches are present throughout the vehicle, including concealed compartments under the floor to store items out of sight and a removable cargo tray to simplify cleaning up after adventures. Higher trims offer an adaptable cargo cover, enhancing both security and flexibility. This cover keeps your belongings safe by concealing them from view. You can easily change the vehicle's configuration if you need to switch from transporting people to hauling items. The car provides levers in the cargo area that allow you to fold the seats without having to open the back doors. This vehicle is distinguished by its construction. While some SUVs are vertically oriented, the Outback features an innovative, wide, deep design. This allows you to easily load large, flat items. The Outback is not merely about significant space; it's about optimally utilizing this space to meet your specific requirements. Versatility and Convenience The Subaru Outback's trunk stands out due to its smart technology. Its hands-free power rear gate, with auto-close and height memory, makes loading a breeze. The standard roof rails with built-in bars enhance cargo options. These rails are ideal for transporting bikes, boxes, or other bulky items since they offer a load-bearing capacity of 176 pounds when in motion and 700 pounds when stationary. Hooks keep your gear secure while you can add a net for small items. The Outback has a large 45.2-inch opening, allowing you to easily load large items. Its practicality and spaciousness are perfect for family adventures and surpass those of other vehicles in its class. Due to its practical space utilization, the Outback adeptly handles both short trips and long journeys, easily accommodating grocery bags and bulky camping gear. Technology and Innovation The Subaru Outback offers advanced tech features, such as the 180-degree front view monitor that simplifies the challenge of maneuvering into a tight parking spot with a fully loaded car. The STARLINK Multimedia system provides you with easy access to music and directions while also alerting you if you've left something in the trunk. If you're an outdoor enthusiast, the Wilderness trim will appeal to you due to its remarkable adaptability. Its cargo area is built to handle the roughest outdoor adventures. Select trims feature an ingenious hands-free power rear gate with height memory, preventing accidental head bumps in areas with low clearance. This automatic feature is useful when your hands are full.

The 2024 Subaru Outback is a capable wagon that can head off the beaten track and haul an impressive load at the rear. This five-seater vehicle combines a spacious interior with an intense power train and cutting-edge entertainment features to keep everyone happy while you're on the go. Knowing exactly how much you can tow with the Outback will allow you to plan a weekend trip out of town or determine whether another great vehicle in Subaru's lineup would be better suited to your needs. more New Outback Inventory What Is Towing Capacity? Towing capacity is the maximum weight that a vehicle can safely tow. It varies considerably depending on various factors in a vehicle's design, such as how powerful the engine is, the type of body style, and the availability of extra towing features. It's essential to always stay within your vehicle's towing capacity since overdoing it can result in severe damage to your car and put others on the road at risk. Staying below your towing capacity means your vehicle will have adequate power, braking abilities, and other load management capabilities. Towing Capacity of the Subaru Outback The Subaru Outback can tow up to 3,500 pounds, an excellent number for a wagon. Many wagons and compact crossovers of a similar size from other automakers can tow around 1,500 pounds. However, it's important to remember that the Outback has two engine options, each with a different towing capacity. The base engine is a 2.5L four-cylinder unit capable of putting out 182 horsepower. It comes standard in the base trim and can tow up to 2,700 pounds. That's plenty of capacity to manage a small pop-up camper or trailer. The more powerful 2.4L turbocharged four-cylinder gets you 260 horsepower and reaches the 3,500-pound towing capacity. This number should be adequate for a small boat, jet ski, or trailer. Determining Your Towing Needs It's a good idea to consider what you'll regularly need to tow before you purchase your next vehicle. Getting a crossover or truck with a towing capacity that's too low could mean your camper must stay in storage. You may not be investing your money most effectively by purchasing a vehicle with a high towing capacity that you don't need. Using the correct number when figuring out your towing capacity is also essential. It's not the same as the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). The GVWR is the maximum weight that a vehicle can carry overall. Your maximum towing capacity will be less than this because the towing capacity doesn't include the weight of everything inside your car, including passengers. Let's take the 3,500-pound number, the Outback's maximum towing capacity, as an example. That's enough to haul a 17-foot camper or a 5x8 enclosed U-Haul trailer. If you think you'll need to tow heavier loads than this, you could look at one of Subaru's larger vehicles. For instance, the midsize Ascent SUV can manage a 5,000-pound load at the rear. Towing Safety Tips The first and most obvious safety tip is always remaining within your towing capacity. Automakers provide these numbers for a reason: the vehicle cannot safely operate while pulling a heavier load. This fact won't change if you redistribute the weight. Furthermore, your Subaru will tow more effectively if you stick to your routine maintenance schedule. Your engine, brakes, tires, and other components must work extra hard with the additional weight at the rear. A well-oiled engine regularly rotated tires, and well-maintained brake pads will cope with this challenge much more effectively than a car that's poorly looked after. Finally, you should drive even more cautiously than usual when towing something at the rear. Your Outback will need more time to brake in an emergency and will be harder to handle around corners and curves. Taking some extra time to reach your destination so everyone arrives safely is well worth the effort. FAQs About Subaru Outback Towing Capacity Which Subaru Outback Trim Can Tow the Most? The trims that can tow the most are those with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine. In the current lineup, those trims are the Onyx Edition XT, Wilderness, Limited XT, and Touring XT. All other trims have a 2.5L four-cylinder engine with a lower towing capacity. The Wilderness trim has a bonus of several off-roading features, making it a wise choice if your towing will involve trips on trails or uneven ground. Does the Outback Have a Towing Package? Some vehicles focused on heavy loads offer a towing package, which adds specialist equipment to the standard features built into the car. The Outback does not offer a towing package. However, Subaru's standard all-wheel drive and traction control system help improve your towing experience. In addition, Subaru's X-Mode integrates the AWD system with hill-descent control, supporting your towing on uneven terrain. You can add extra accessories, including a tow hitch and rubber hitch cover to protect it. Does Subaru's Lineup Offer Other Towing Options? Yes, Subaru's SUV lineup provides alternatives to the Outback that can tow just as much or more. The three-row Subaru Ascent, for example, offers a roomy passenger cabin and up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity. Thanks to this setup, you can transport up to eight passengers and haul a decent-sized camper to your favorite site for the weekend.
