The 2022 Subaru Outback is Subaru of America's second-best-selling model, just 100 model sales behind the Forester, and it's an affordable midsize SUV/crossover/wagon. Can you find one under $30,000?
What is the price of the 2022 Outback?
The 2022 Subaru Outback comes in eight trim levels; the base trim is priced from $27,845, Premium ($30,270), Limited ($34,720), Touring ($38,620), Onyx Edition XT ($36,270), new for 2022, Outback Wilderness ($38,120), Limited XT ($39,120), and Touring XT ($41,070). Pricing includes $1,125 destination and delivery fees.

The Premium trim level is a good value, but it's priced just above $30,000 with destination and delivery fees added on. Subaru does advertise cash incentives and discounts from the dealer. You also won't see a rebate offered, and extra incentives from Subaru are extremely rare. It's the best right to cross-shop Subaru retailers for the best deal. And ask for discounts from Subaru.
What sets the 2022 Subaru Outback apart?
KBB says, "This SUV is part crossover and part wagon, making it a unique option. All-wheel drive is standard, as is 8.7 inches of ground clearance for managing more rugged terrain. The new Wilderness trim increases that number to 9.5 inches. The Outback has great standard safety features along with good resale values and a durable interior designed to stand up to family life."
