2024 Subaru Outback AWD Sport review
The Subaru Outback will soon be the only lifted wagon in its segment. Does it still make sense with the less powerful, atmo engine?
The current-generation Subaru Outback has been on sale locally now for over two years, with sales continuing to pick up.
The Outback has been among the top-selling large SUVs for a while now, though it’s unlike the other top sellers in its segment as it’s not a body-on-frame seven-seat SUV. It’s instead a lifted wagon of sorts riding on a unibody platform.
Its rivals are also drying up locally, following the recent announcement that Volkswagen is axing the entire Passat range in Australia, which includes the higher-riding Passat Alltrack.
Subaru first announced the latest update to the Outback last year, which included the addition of the 2.4-litre turbocharged flat-four engine to the local line-up that brought more power and torque.
The tester we have here doesn’t have this engine, but instead is the mid-range 2023 Subaru Outback AWD Sport variant with the tried-and-tested 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated flat-four, which is also used in the Forester.
Pros
- Fantastic ride and handling
- Like a couch on wheels
- Oodles of interior space
Cons
- Uninspiring performance
- Shorter service intervals
- Facial detection can get annoying
