The 2023 Subaru Outback is a powerful car made for outdoor adventures. It offers a spacious interior with many comfort features. It’s no wonder so many drivers choose this vehicle for long road trips. Here are some of the features you’ll want to know more about.

Performance

The entry-level Outback comes with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER engine with direct injection. This engine produces 182 horsepower. On the Outback Onyx Edition trim level and above, you’ll get a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder direct injection turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine. This engine produces an impressive 260 horsepower.

Made for Outdoor Adventures

The Outback comes standard with an 8.7-inch ground clearance. The Outback Wilderness trim level and above elevate this to 9.5 inches of ground clearance. The bumpers in the front and rear have been designed with improved angles to make driving over obstacles even easier.

The standard model comes with 17-inch wheels and all-terrain tires, with a regular spare tire underneath. Subaru has also worked on its X-MODE feature this year to better optimize for all-terrain conditions. Adjusting this mode will mean your vehicle is better optimized to handle slippery roads.

Advanced Safety Assistance Features

Subaru went further with its safety features for 2023. They’ve innovated their standard Subaru EyeSight technology with updates and a longer list of capabilities. It includes adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and automatic emergency steering.

There’s an available Distraction Mitigation system meant to help reduce the dangers of distracted driving. There are available options for safety features, including blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts.

Infotainment

People don’t often associate rugged outdoor vehicles with fancy infotainment features, but the Outback has them. There is an updated 11.6-inch touchscreen. The touchscreen uses Subaru Starlink Multimedia software. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities are standard.

Comfort

There are 109 cubic feet of passenger volume in the Outback, which is roomier than many of its rivals. There’s an available remote engine start feature with climate control. This means the car will adjust the climate control to your saved preferred settings before you even get in. There are available heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats.

Cargo Space

Cargo space matters a whole lot when you are planning a lot of road trips. This Subaru provides 33 cubic feet of cargo volume. For a better understanding of how much space that is, you could fit 11 carry-on suitcases in the back.

Roof Rails

The entry-level model comes with improved roof rails for 2023, which outdoor enthusiasts are bound to appreciate. These roof rails come with retractable crossbars and four tie-down points. These roof rails are reinforced to hold more weight more securely.
