Subaru’s always had a knack for crafting cars that feel just right! Whether you’re city cruising or trail-blazing — the 2024 Subaru Outback is no exception.
From those who love the latest tech, to the weekend warrior itching for their next adventure, Subaru has you covered.
So, let’s dive in and take a closer look at each trim to help you find your perfect Outback match.
There are a few fundamental “standards” that you can expect from every new 2024 Outback, regardless of your trim selection. These include:
2.5-liter Subaru Boxer 4-cylinder engine (turbocharged trims available)
Subaru’s legendary Boxer engine expertly balances fun and fuel efficiency. With up to 32/26 MPG on the naturally aspirated version and 29/22 MPG for the turbocharged variant, you can enjoy the journey without breaking the bank!
Symmetrical AWD
Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD is always active, providing better grip and stability on the road. It evenly distributes power to all wheels, ensuring smoother driving in tricky conditions. This feature is a big part of Subaru’s reputation for safety and reliability.
Subaru Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
Subaru’s Lineartronic® CVT is an automatic transmission that adjusts seamlessly for smooth driving and better fuel efficiency. Instead of fixed gears, it uses a belt and pulley system for optimal performance. This results in a smoother ride and can save on fuel compared to traditional transmissions.
Standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology
Subaru’s Standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is a collection of safety features designed to improve driver awareness and reduce accidents. Using cameras and sensors, EyeSight® monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and provides warnings if the driver sways outside their lane.
Key features often include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist and Sway Warning, Pre-collision Braking, and Pre-collision Throttle Management.
Subaru Safety Restraint System
Subaru’s Safety Restraint System encompasses a comprehensive set of features designed to protect occupants during a collision. It includes seat belts, airbags, and child safety features, all working together to reduce the risk of injury.
Subaru’s Safety Restraint System includes the following airbags:
Frontal airbags: Protect the driver and front passenger during a frontal collision by deploying from the steering wheel and dashboard.
Side-Impact Airbags: They’re in the seat or door and shield the driver and front passenger’s torso in a side crash.
Side Curtain Airbags: Designed to protect people’s heads in a side crash. These airbags deploy from the top of the car and cover both the front and back windows.
Knee airbag for driver: Under steering column, it protects driver’s legs, especially knees, in specific crashes.
Seat cushion airbags: Keep occupants in place and prevent them from sliding under the seat belt during a front collision.
Basic Limited Warranty
This warranty covers everything in the vehicle, from the body to the electrical systems. The warranty does not cover wear items such as wiper blades, brake pads, and other routine maintenance items.
Duration: 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Powertrain Limited Warranty
Coverage: This focuses on the components that propel the vehicle – the engine, transmission, and all-wheel drive system. It covers repairs to correct defects in materials or workmanship.
Duration: 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Now, let’s examine each trim to see which features they include!
