When you look at a Subaru Outback for sale here in Australia, you can expect a fantastic value proposition for your hard earned cash. All Subaru cars are packed with plenty of features and technology to enhance your driving experience and make your trip safer. This already excellent family wagon is even more impressive if you take the plunge and go for their Outback 2.5i Premium. Let’s take a closer look at what you get in this brief review.

At a Glance

The ride comfort and handling are simply excellent for a wagon of this size. There is plenty of passenger space in the well appointed cabin, and there are plenty of storage compartments. There is a full sized space for proper off road adventures and a cargo blind compartment. There are loads of safety systems onboard, and the camera system is particularly well thought out. Some drivers may not like the rugged exterior, and the continuously variable transmission could be a little more refined.

The Subaru Outback

The Outback has become such a popular choice in Australia that it’s almost the de facto choice for a wagon these days. Of course, we are ...
... still head over heels in love with the SUV culture that the Outback doesn’t have anything to compare in terms of competition. The Outback is a reliable lower slung alternative to the Liberty, and it’s a smart choice for buyers that want the very best bang for their buck. This particular 2018 version is a mid life refresh for the Outback, and yet there are significant improvements on display.

Staying Fresh

This Outback update gets a brand new infotainment system, suspension and transmission tweaks, a new engine, and some new advanced safety kit. The changes start at the exterior; there are new headlights, a fresh new grille, and a revised bumper to admire. With all the improvements, one would expect a hefty price bump, but Subaru has managed to bring the new Outback to market for only a couple of hundred dollars more than the outgoing models.

A Weekend Adventurer

Many drivers want a wagon to provide them with an urban car that can handle that little bit more than a standard car. However, the Outback has genuine off road capability thanks to the Subaru all wheel drive system, and this is ideal for beach trips and weekend adventures. There is a morphing 80kg roof rack that can be deployed in around 10 seconds for your kayak or surfboards. There is plenty of boot space too, the powered tailgate will reveal 512L with the rear seats up, drop them down and you're looking at 1848L of real estate to fill. There is a full sized spare and genuine comfort throughout the cabin for longer trips. This makes the Outback fantastically versatile for the more adventurous driver.
