2025 Subaru Outback Touring

The 2025 Outback is a wagon-like SUV that blends car-like comfort with genuine off-road capability, a niche it has owned for years. It competes with the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and the more rugged Jeep Cherokee, but few rivals match its combination of ride comfort and trail readiness. The Outback handles winding roads with a composure that belies its height, and the steering is accurate and well-weighted. The ride is absorbent on most surfaces, though the Wilderness trim's off-road suspension is noticeably firmer around town. With a spacious cabin and generous cargo area, the Outback swallows gear for a weekend trip or a trip to the lumber yard with ease. The Touring is the luxury-focused Outback, sitting above the Limited with standard leather upholstery, a power moonroof, and heated rear seats. Its 2.5L I4 makes 182 horsepower and pairs with a continuously variable automatic transmission, delivering 28 mpg combined while Subaru's all-wheel drive keeps you planted on loose or wet roads. You also get a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system that makes long highway miles more enjoyable.
