When you have a need for a vehicle that excels during trips around town and into remote areas, few can rival Subaru’s legendary Outback. The mid-sized SUV backs up its handsome, rugged exterior styling with outstanding off-road performance while offering an impressive list of standard and optional equipment. Here’s your introduction to the 2023 Subaru Outback!

Basics About the 2023 Subaru Outback

Powertrain

While the Outback comes standard with Subaru’s widely praised 182-horsepower 2.5L boxer flat-4 engine, it’s also available with a turbo 2.4L version. Turbocharged models generate a hefty 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque—more than enough grunt for owners who enjoy tackling the roughest trails. Both engines pair with the Lineartronic continuously variable transmission that features Adaptive Control and an 8-speed manual shift mode. 
With an EPA rating of up to 33 MPG highway, the vehicle’s fuel economy is excellent. 

Off-Road Capability

As you’d expect from a Subaru, the Outback is adept at navigating through rugged countryside. Every model is equipped with the intelligent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive System. You can count on this system to provide you with the maximum traction available because it constantly monitors for potential wheel slip and responds by instantly delivering the correct amount of power.
Also coming standard is the X-Mode system, which adjusts engine responsiveness to give you extra confidence as you travel over slippery surfaces. Wilderness models are further enhanced for off-road performance by increasing its ground clearance from 8.7-inches to 9.5-inches, reinforcing its suspension, and adding a high-strength skid plate. 

Passenger Cabin

The Outback’s well-built interior promises a comfortable riding experience for any trip. In addition to an impressive 39.5-inches of rear legroom, every model boasts reclining rear seats and durable, yet plush upholstery. Thanks to the available 12-way power driver’s seat and its 4-way lumbar support feature, fatigue is minimized after hours of driving. Many trims offer heated seating, dual-zone climate control, and genuine leather seating.

Transporting all of your camping supplies is no problem when you fold down the rear seat, increasing cargo volume from 32.6 cubic feet to 75.6 cubic feet.

Infotainment System

Most models feature a large 11.6-inch touchscreen display powered by the Subaru Starlink Multimedia System. It offers wireless smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay/Android Auto,  Bluetooth pairing, and 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability. SiriusXM satellite radio, SiriusXM Travel Link, and Sirius Traffic are also available.

Incredible sound is pumped out by the available 576-watt, 12-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system and its GreenEdge amplifier.

Whether you’re taking the kids to school or roughing it in the great outdoors, the Subaru Outback is the perfect ride for either situation. Contact Jim Keras Subaru today and schedule your test drive with the exciting 2023 model!
