The overview
The Outback wagon has a long-running reputation as a smart alternative to an SUV, and the redesigned 2020 model doesn't stray from its proven formula. This next-generation Outback adds comfort and convenience features. The base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine does the job but can feel strained under stress. The turbocharged 260-hp, 2.4-liter engine transforms the wagon with effortless acceleration. The ride is very comfortable, and handling is responsive and secure. Some tasks through the large infotainment screen require more than one step, however. Thoughtful details like built-in cross bars and a dual-position cargo cover are nice touches. All versions get the EyeSight suite of advanced safety and driver assistance systems. Blind spot warning and rear cross traffic warning are optional. Starting with the 2021 model year, steering responsive headlights, which are designed to swivel according to steering input to give added visibility in corners, are standard on all trims. For 2025, Limited trims get a standard power moonroof, heated steering wheel, navigation, and DriverFocus distraction mitigation system. A new Outback is expected to arrive for the 2026 model year.
