Why is Subaru Outback successful?
The Outback appeals to a broad audience because it's bigger than a traditional crossover SUV, features more cargo capacity, has a higher ground clearance (8.7-inches), and comes standard with Subaru's Symmetrical all-wheel-drive system for all-weather performance. Outback also offers X-Mode for additional off-pavement performance.
In addition, Subaru of America now offers the more rugged Outback Wilderness trim level for outdoor enthusiasts. Check out the new Wilderness report below.
Should customers wait for the 2023 Subaru Outback?
The 2023 Outback midsize SUV gets new updates with a redesigned front fascia, the latest version of EyeSight safety technology, and a new wide-angle mono camera. Subaru also updated Outback's multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Outback, manufactured in Lafayette, Indiana, is not losing its appeal. Many customers are waiting for the newly-upgraded 2023 models.
