Subaru made an excellent move to bring the Wilderness sub-brand, including the 2022 Forester and 2024 Crosstrek models. The all-new 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness is ready for serious fun in the dirt. The Outback Wilderness is more than an appearance package and comes with off-road upgrades not found on the standard model.
The adventure-ready upgrades include an advanced dual function X-Mode, elevated 9.5-inch ground clearance, a standard front skid plate, and an upgraded suspension.

The Outback Wilderness will handle more challenging trails with 9.5-inch ground clearance, a nearly one-inch increase over the standard model's 8.7-inches. Subaru says the suspension is tuned for improved stability, and the front and rear shock absorbers and springs were increased in length to provide additional ground clearance and suspension travel.
Subaru retailers will have additional accessory parts, including aluminum or steel skid plates for the engine, transmission, and fuel tank. A rear differential protector is also available.
What is the price of the 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness?
The 2022 Outback Wilderness starts at $38,120. Pricing includes $1,125 destination and delivery fees.
What is the fuel mileage of the Outback Wilderness?
