For almost 30 years, the Subaru Outback has been synonymous with adventure and exploring the road less traveled. This legendary SUV has helped owners navigate everything from daily commutes to epic outdoor journeys. Now, the sixth-generation 2024 Outback is setting new standards as the safest, roomiest, and most capable version yet.
Built tough with the Subaru Global Platform
At the core of the 2024 Outback is the Subaru Global Platform, providing a solid structural foundation with higher levels of collision protection. But it also delivers benefits like outstanding dynamics, a smoother quieter ride, and increased agility. It's the robust base that allows the Outback to balance daily drivability with true off-road capability.
Power to get you there
Motivating the Outback is your choice of two powerful BOXER engines. The standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder produces a spry 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. Or you can opt for the potent 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder with an exhilarating 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. All models come standard with Subaru's legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a Lineartronic CVT with 8-speed manual mode and steering wheel paddle shifters.
True trail capability
For those who want to take the road far less traveled, the new Outback Wilderness model dials up the off-road prowess. It starts with a revised version of the 2.4-liter turbo engine and an upgraded high-torque CVT with better low-speed climbing power. The Wilderness also features a raised suspension with 9.5 inches of ground clearance, Yokohama Geolandar all-terrain tires, increased approach/departure angles, and upgraded X-MODE terrain response settings.
The exterior styling is uniquely rugged, with a distinctive grille and front/rear bumpers, expanded body cladding, special badging, and anodized copper accents. Inside the cabin is water-resistant StarTex upholstery, all-weather floor mats, and upgraded roof rails. When properly equipped, the Outback Wilderness can even tow up to 3,500 lbs.
Inner space to go anywhere
No matter which Outback trim you choose, you'll have lots of room for passengers and gear. There's adult-sized leg and headroom in both rows, with up to 75.6 cubic feet of maximum cargo space with the 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks lowered. Comfort and convenience amenities include a quiet cabin, standard dual-zone automatic climate control, power liftgate, and new front seat designs with improved support and ride comfort.
To keep you connected, a standard dual 7-inch multimedia system provides wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth, SiriusXM, and voice controls. Upper trims upgrade to an 11.6-inch touchscreen with navigation, while the Touring models also include embedded TomTom navigation and wireless device charging.
The latest in Subaru safety
Safeguarding every mile is Subaru's latest EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which is standard across the entire Outback lineup. The enhanced stereo camera has a wider field of view and works seamlessly with systems like pre-collision braking, lane keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with lane centering.
New for 2024, automatic emergency steering can assist with steering input to avoid collisions at speeds under 50 mph when paired with blind spot detection. Other available driver aids include reverse automatic braking, a 180-degree front view camera, and the DriverFocus distraction mitigation system.
With its blend of versatility, capability, and safety, the 2024 Subaru Outback is ready to be your ultimate adventure-mobile. Whether you're navigating city streets, cruising the highway, or exploring off the beaten path, this rugged SUV provides all-road, all-weather confidence.
