When the Subaru Outback first went on sale, it provided
consumers with a practical alternative to sedans and SUVs. As the years went
by, the Outback added more cargo space and ground clearance than its
competitors as well as added an off-road capability, sportiness, and more
compact size to help it compete with other 3-row SUVs. In 2020, the Subaru
Outback may look like the models that came before it, but underneath the
exterior is an all-new model with a new platform, new structure, and an
upgraded engine and technological features. The 2020 Subaru Outback comes in
six trims with a ton of features and options, take a trip with us as we break
down each one.
Base
The Base, like most Outback's, comes with a 2.5-liter
four-cylinder engine with 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. This engine
pairs with all-wheel-drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission.
As for features, the Base comes with LED headlights, keyless entry, a rearview
camera, and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and
Android Auto connectivity, Bluetooth audio connectivity. There are also a ton
of safety features including adaptive cruise control, front collision warning
with automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist.

Going up a level to the Premium trim gets you dual-zone
automatic climate control, a power-adjustable drivers' seat, heated front
seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a larger 11.6-inch touchscreen.
The Premium also provides you terrific options such as a power liftgate,
navigation, and safety options like blind-spot monitoring with rear
cross-traffic alert.
