The Subaru Outback Can’t Keep Pace Before It Gets A Remodel
The 2024 Subaru Outback is due for a remodel, and customers may be waiting for the new model launch. I cover the model every month, and Subaru of America reports the 2024 Outback increased in sales by 14.3 percent last month compared with February 2023.
Despite the increase, the Outback tries to catch up with the hot Forester compact SUV and Crosstrek subcompact SUV. The Forester took the top spot, and Crosstrek is number two for the month.
The Outback midsize SUV is the third best-selling model in SOA's lineup, with 10,412 models delivered to customers last month compared with 9,108 in February 2023. The Outback is up 11.2 percent in the first two months of 2024.

What's next for the 2025 Subaru Outback?
The Outback is scheduled for a complete remodel for the 2025 model year. Significant upgrades are coming, and the next-generation Outback will be Subaru of America's most significant new model launch this year.
Subaru of America will announce the remodeled 2025 Subaru Outback next, which could be coming soon. It's the most anticipated redesign of the year. The Outback is the Camden, N.J. automaker's best-selling model, and they want to get it right.

The next-generation 2025 Outback will get significant upgrades from the 2024 model year. Here is what I know so far. I have reported earlier that the all-new Outback for the 2025 model year will come with new exterior styling, interior, infotainment, and upgraded safety features. But there's more.
MY TAKE
The newly redesigned Outback will likely get hybrid power.
An Outback Hybrid is speculation on my part, as Subaru is always tight-lipped about future product plans, and the automaker has made no announcements about the 2025 Outback.

Subaru Corporation is ramping up new hybrid models, like the Forester Hybrid that Subaru has confirmed. The Outback will get new hybrid technology, but the question is when.
Should customers wait?
The 2024 Subaru Outback is an excellent midsize SUV. Customers who wait will find the Outback gets significant technology and safety upgrades. It will be worth the wait, in my opinion.
This is the latest information regarding the new Subaru Outback. I'll keep you updated with any new information.
