The Outback is in a class of its own. It's design is a relic on the 80s and 90s mid size station wagons with a little more clearance and awd added. And that's what makes it special.

@gregkramer5588 Год назад

Now it is the same height as all of the SUVs but the packaging seems worse. The interior space vs the size of vehicle is not great.

@Subie-Driver Год назад

Ou are wrong on your design point. It is not a relic from the 80s or 90s. It is completely designed for this era. Our ‘11 outback was light years ahead of the so called 80-90s design so this can only be light years above ours.

@ghenry85 Год назад

@@Subie-Driver I think the Outback has more in common with station wagons than other crossovers. More sedan than the Rav4 but more capable and flexible than a Camry. They are a good compromise. The 80s and early 90s actually did have cars that had a similar niche to the new Outback. The Toyota ae95 Corrolla wagon(smaller but it was taller than some in it's class and had awd) and the AMC Eagle wagon.

@ghenry85 Год назад

@M So tell like you see it bud.

@jsfbay1 Год назад

That's why Toyota should bring the Crown - some competition can't hurt. Also, the cargo I carry is better matched to a shorter vertical height of storage, but more depth. I just don't pile stuff up 40" high, so I'd *much* rather have the greater square footage than greater volume when that volume is all about how tall the rear cargo area is.

After waiting for more than a year for a toyota rav4 hybrid, i decided to test drive one after watching this review. I think this vehicle is overall a great package for a Canadian. Good capabilities in winter, tons of interior spaces and cargo area. Ordered an Onyx trim in Blue like the one in the review. Thanks for your informative review!

@colechapman6976 Год назад

The Outback is great. Uber popular where I live in the northeast. They are great in snow and I love that they have a goldilocks ground clearance height. Not so high that you have to climb up into it like taller SUVs, but not so low you have to climb down when you take a seat.

@myefone1536 Год назад

This is one of the features I loved about it above all others. Climbing into the higher SUVs is not a good thing. As I get older my back gets worse and there's no way I want to be climbing up. The outback has perfect height and comfortable seating.

@nickwu6534 Год назад

After watching a series of your videos and testing on different compact SUV, I ended up getting Outback Touring XT (I guess it's Premier XT in Canada). The biggest reason is the comfort and smoothness of driving on OB is much better than CRV and RAV4. Another reason is the 2.4 Turbo makes a huge difference than base engine and outperforms the other competitors in similar price range. I did struggle with CRV Hybrid Sport Touring vs OB Touring XT. Tbh, I really love the exterior design of CRV, which is definitely more cutting edge and futuristic than many other similar SUVs (KIA looks even better though) but instead Subaru has its classic 'Subaru stereotyping' look, which is rugged and old fashioned (to me, it's even worse for that additional front head cladding). But finally one thing pulled my trigger to get OB is the whole package. What Subaru delivers on this flagship vehicle is full of sincerity - they try to give you the best features as they can from safety system, the AI, the leather, the ventilated /heated seats, the audio speakers, to some details to make you feel they care. On contrary, CRV looks more indifferent just as Honda know you will buy it anyway, even for their top trim, the overall features are just still marginal less. If I would pay similar price to get a top trim of them, I will pay for the heart. Again, the turbo really matters and OB can easily win simply because of that.

@MarcNeilson Год назад

This is great because I had been wondering about the difference between the turbo and non-turbo engines. I test drove one recently and knew more about the car than the salesperson thanks to this video!

@Smoothsounds88 Год назад

It’s the absence of physical buttons. That screen is slow, it hesitates; it has soooo much going for it but that screen is a miss and they REFUSE to put buttons back.

@vedder10 Год назад

TOTALLY AGREE. I currently own a 2020 Onyx XT and I love the car with the exception of the head unit. It reboots in the middle of driving. Sometimes even the safety system reboots with it. It's so annoying that it really has me looking for an alternative for my next vehicle.

@vedder10 Год назад

@Joe Do you have any reservations concerning the CVT?

@Turbolious Год назад

This is the same screen my 22 WRX has, it's a huge improvement over the other screens. It doesn't lag or anything. Press a button and it happens

@danhall3450 Год назад

I was very worried about the lack of buttons and screen coming from a 2015. But after a couple of outings, the screen my 2022 Touring has been more intuitive than I expected. It has a hand "home" button that I don't think was present on the 2020 & 21 models.

@BigJim5754 Год назад

I own the 22 Onyx XT and I'm very happy w the ride and power. city driving stay at home dad suburbs route every day barely hits 16 mpg so underperfroming to their estimates for sure. Hwy mpg seems to be right what they claim, maybe even better ( on recent trip to Vegas I had cruise set to 80-85 almost the whole way and was still avg ing 25 mpg's, great for that speed)

@acricucci9760 Год назад

My son got his 2023 Outback wilderness last month.He loves the car but #1 complaint is lack of buttons. He finds infotainment screen is annoying. I’m glad I occasionally ride with him; it has confirmed I won’t part with my 2018 Outback 3.6R Touring until it falls apart.

@justinbrowns1945 Год назад

Great video. Nice and detailed. You are the very best being thorough for Canada and the USA. One thing you should add to your videos is the maintenance and cost each require. Cost does not have to be exact. In Canada they have like an A,B,C, D schedule. I own a crosstrek on it's next inspection it will have 68,000 km. That C inspection is just over $1000.00 and does not cover any parts like cabin filters etc. It does cover the oil change. My guess between non turbo and turbo there is a cost difference for maintenance since the engines are so different. Maybe that change is only later in it's life. This is the first time I have owned a crosstrek ( Outdoors) and it seems to be also the most expensive for maintenance I ever owned. I have had a few AWD /4WD makes.

I just found your channel and am really enjoying it! I’m starting to research a replacement for our 2019 CRV AWD Touring. We’ve had it for 5 years and it’s been great. Summertime we get ~35mpg and winter ~33mpg. All mixed driving. I was disappointed to learn that if we want the same trim level Honda is forcing a hybrid on us. With the performance of the old car and the gas mileage I don’t see any reason to look at hybrids. So the search is on for replacement from possibly another manufacturer. We have no interest in Kia or Hyundai. I’ll be checking out your videos for info. Keep up the great work.

@Subie-Driver Год назад

After having four Subarus including our current two, I really think that the base 2.0 l engine on the crosstrek and the 2.5 l engine in everything else gives them a great balance between very adequate power and fuel mileage. Our ‘18 crosstrek limited with the 2L engine gets between 6.5 and 7.0 l/100km on the highway…driving at 105 kmh. Our ‘22 forester with the 2.5l gets between 7.0 - 7.2 l/100km on the highway doing the same speed. Seems like everyone wants every vehicle to be rockets on wheels. I started driving Subaru because of their practicality, fuel mileage, and real-time (symmetrical) AWD. They still have that and I hope they don’t lose sight of that.

@danieldotter6077 Год назад

Subaru really stepped up for the latest gen of Outback. We are really happy with our 2023 Limited OB. The Mazda CX50 was on our radar as well and a good friend of ours purchased one. The CX50 def has the exterior looks, but the 2023 OB blows the CX50 away in terms of interior. I really feel the new OB is class leading in terms of features, comfort, safety, and overall capability. Even the new Honda CR-V falls short in terms of features.

@rimarcadu Год назад

@myefone1536 Год назад

Took 2023 for a test drive. Loved the interior. It was so comfy, didn't have to stretch to reach the touch screen, large touchscreen, centre console extends forward enough to put my arm on comfortably. I wanted this vehicle so much. But I absolutely refuse to buy a CVT. Still too many problems with them in general. I worry that my vehicle will not last. Toyota's the only one with the proper CVT which isn't even the same as the kind of outback has. But I'm not paying Toyota's dealership prices which are jacked up outrageously.

I have been driving a Subaru for more than ten years and a Forester for four. I now intend to purchase an Outback. I still have two questions. I would like to know if, due to a different calibration of the suspension of the Wildernes model, you have noticed a difference in this one when driving on pavement compared to the XT model. Finally, did you notice a different fuel consumption between the two models? Thanks 🙏

@daweed980 Год назад

13:08 Correction: All trims do NOT get the refreshed front end. Only Wilderness trim stays with the '20-22 front fascia.

@shanesnyder7359 Год назад

Fantastic review as always and really appreciate the comparison between the 2 models you reviewed. Would love to hear your thoughts on that new burgundy color and the new blue color. To Zach's point, I don't really care about the cladding so much. Maybe it is overdone on the wilderness edition but they look very close to me now. I would prefer the Orange trim and stitching on the Wilderness Edition over the lime green inside the other trims. To Andrea's point, I am surprised that Subaru has nothing to offer in this as a hybrid yet. It seems way overdue. I am also quite surprised that that the 360 camera system is not available yet, but I imagine it will be soon given the Solterra borrowed it from Toyota. I would like to see your opinions on this new Outback compared to the upcoming refreshed Ascent. The Ascent Looks a lot nicer with some subtle changes and offers the new infotainment screen. I am somewhat surprised there is not more 2nd row backseat room though in the Ascent. The Outback seems to have more rear seat room. Maybe it is just me. Happy belated Thanksgiving!

@michaelheimlich9161 Год назад

I was at my dealer today. Sat in the Outback and Ascent with the driver seat adjusted for me and then sat behind the driver's seat. I had the same leg room in each, with the Ascent middle row seat pushed back all the way. I didn't test the 3rd row seating because we're past that phase and aren't car pooling kids anymore!

Get the turbo. More power is always good when you need it. These Outback's are very competent vehicles offroad as well, much more than people expect. As a stationwagon (man, are these rare now) with great ground clearance then it borders on one of the best family allrounders you can get.

Ordered a 2022 Outback XT Premier last February, and received it in September...Yep seven months wait! Already has over 17 000kms on it after six months driving. Things I love: 1. Attractive looking vehicle. 2. Plenty of acceleration from the 2.5L Turbo. 3. Great in snow, especially with snow tires. 4. Comfortable leather interior with lots of room, front and back. 5. Loads of trunk space. 6. Great sound system. Things I hate: 1. Terrible on the highway in high winds. (One of the worst I've ever driven, in fact.) 2. Noisy engine that takes far too long to idle back down after cold start. 3. Far too much wind noise at highway speed. 4. Fuel economy not great (Averaging 12L per 100 Kms). 5. Poor navigation system. 6. Touch screen is slow to react. 7. Questionable quality (Already replaced driver's side seat vent, and there is a disconcerting noise somewhere in the suspension.) 8. Some of the "safety" features are very annoying, especially the Driver Monitoring System that drags you back to the center of the lane whenever you get too close to the roadside. Also, waay too many warning beeps!!! I like my Outback, but would I buy one again? No.

We went from 2015 2.5L OB (Gen 5) to 2022 2.5L OB Touring (Gen 6). Enough power for us, have even towed a 2,000 boat over Cascade Mt passes with it. Very satisfied with our Subaru in terms of mileage (~ 30 on highway, with up to a 600 mile range. We were concerned about adapting to their often maligned Gen 6 touch screen controls but adapted pretty quick to it, but still prefer more knobs and buttons (70 yr olds). Also the Gen 6 front seats feel a little more restricted than those in Gen 5. The longer cargo area and more car like handling are why we got an Outback instead of the much praised 2022 Hyundai Tucson -- that and the fact they we could get VIP pricing on the OB vs $4K above sticker on the Tucson (in WA state). We are very happy with Outback. The improved eye sight and digital rear view camera are nice upgrades for the 23 model, extra cladding not so much IMO.

@ca3210v Год назад

I found the ride and seats more comfortable in Gen 6. I had a loaner for a day and it rode so smoothly I had to check the tire pressure to see if they were uninflated. They were not, they were actually over inflated!

Outback is a significant car that created this segment. Its not only a-class-of-its-own, it owns this segment. I have read somewhere that Outback owns 95% of the wagon segment. They will have even more market share when VW decided to drop Golf All Trek for Mk8 generation, while A6 allroad, V90 Cross Country and E-Class All Terrain are much more expensive.

I have TPMS in my '22 Outback Limited XT.

Currently have the (Australian Version) Outback 2022 2.5L and have loved it from the day I took it for a test drive and day 1 driving it.. 6 months on they finally brought the 2.4L Turbo to Australia in the 2023 Model and I couldn't help myself I had to have it. The 2.5L has some gusto and power however I want more towing capacity so the Turbo is the one to go to.. I am getting the new Touring XT model which is the top of the line model here in Australia and should be in our possession in Jan/Feb next year I cannot wait!!!! Oh also getting it with Ivory and Black colour seats!

@@1800dontcare not too bad of a premium considering the engine. What did you spec it up with?

Thank you, you folks are the best! So all things considered, looks, interior, fuel economy, safety etc, Outback Touring vs Honda CR V Hybrid Limited, vs Venza Limited...which would you buy/recommend?

As the owner of a 2018 Subaru Outback 3.6R I’m not a big fan of four-cylinder engines although the turbo is quicker the 6. Just something about the sound of a 4 cylinder. I had a 2016 with the 4 cylinder so I know. I do not like all the added cladding and will have to think twice about it when I go to replace my 2018 later this year. Great review as always!

@saintsubie6661 Год назад

Agree with you on the cladding. I have a 2016, and love the look of it. I disliked the 2020 redesign and dislike this refresh even more.

@kingsqueak2221 Год назад

I've got the 2023 XT Touring, the turbo makes it a useful vehicle, all the difference. On 87 gas (yes the new turbo is set up for it) it's getting around 25mpg with general day to day driving around town and on rural roads, noticeably better than my 2013 Forester XT that needed 93 to run well. With all the electronics and the CVT I got the max warranty as I don't have a lot of faith in this over time but it's a sweet ride right now. The ride quality with the wider and longer wheelbase is much nicer compared with the older Forester as well.

@SyrupCanuck Год назад

Turbo eats too much fuel unfortunately.

@kingsqueak2221 Год назад

@@SyrupCanuck After a few thousand miles, about 4k, I'm seeing a consistent 25 MPG on 87 gas, it's better than my 2013 Forester XT by 3+ MPG and that one required 93 to run. Still happy with it.

Got the new 2023 Outback Touring 2.5L Canadian Edition, quick comments after 1,000 kms of city/hwy combo driving: - Piss poor city consumption- over 11 l/100km - Slow touchscreen response - Eye-Sight hit & Miss while on cruise control, car just drops from 110 km/h to 90 when passing or car in front changes lane. Brought these issues to the dealer but radio silence from them. Also had once a message that drivers airbag was deactivated and eyesight just turns off by itself + when in Carplay it will flip between Google Maps and phone contacts by itself.

@eskieman3948 Год назад

If you took it to the dealer and it was "radio silence" (????!) from them, then contact Subaru of America.

@jsfbay1 Год назад

If Toyota could bring the Crown Estate (or whatever they call the wagon version), then there could be some competition. What do you think the chances are of that? (I personally doubt it will come here, but sure hope it does.)

Subaru needs to improve steel grade used on their exhaust, car used in winter have extremely rusty exhaust line fast, it should last the car life.

Went to the dealer today and found out that the fin camera and digital mirror doesn't exist in Canada (saw another review that refers to the fin camera so the dealer may have been confused?). Anyway this surprised me given that this review is Canadian. The spec sheets make no mention of the fin camera (EDIT: found it in the spec sheet finally. Called "Smart mirror" and only the Premier XT (top of the line Canadian model) has it. )

I own a 2020 Limited XT, I hope they update my software so that the heated seats are on the main screen like this one has. You did not say whether the heated steering wheel is partially heated or fully, mine does not heat between the 10 and 2 position. Also, how does the start/stop work. Mine starts on its own before i remove my foot from the brake and the vibration at start up is significant.

Can you make a video comparing the non-turbo Subaru Forester to the non-turbo Subaru Outback? It would help people trying to decide between the two. All the Videos on You Tube makes comments between the Outback Turbo and Non-turbo Forester. That isn’t a fair assessment. I think both have the same engine? I enjoy your videos. Thank you!

Sure, we can....I think we'll wait for the 2023 Forester first though, as there should be some changes coming for that model.
