Here’s the breakdown of the 2025 Subaru Outback:
Design and Interior
The 2025 Outback has a refined but rugged exterior design with a boldfront grille, sleek LED headlights, and muscular fenders. Subaru hasn’tchanged much but has tweaked the design to appeal to adventure-seekers without compromising its functional bits. The standard roof rails with integrated crossbars and high ground clearance are still there for those who go off the beaten path. Inside, the Outback has a roomy and well-appointed cabin that seats up to five. High-quality materials like soft-touch surfaces and optional leather upholstery make it feel premium. The front seats are supportive for long trips, the rear seats have plenty of legroom so passengers are comfortable. Cargo space is generous with up to 75.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down, perfect for gear and luggage.
Performance and Engines
The 2025 Outback has two engine options for different driving styles and needs. The base engine is a 2.5L 4-cylinder with 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. This engine is good for daily driving and moderate off-road use with an estimated 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. For more power, the Outback XT models have a turbocharged 2.4L 4-cylinder that makes 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. This turbocharged engine has quicker acceleration and more towing capacity up to 3,500 pounds. Despite the extra power, the XT still has decent fuel economy with an estimated 23 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Both engines are paired with Subaru’s Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) for smooth and responsive shifting. Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard on all models for great traction and stability in any condition.
