We were experiencing harsher winter conditions during our test, so 9.8L/100KM was our official rating. The Premier XT trim is fitted with an additional wide-angle mono camera that further enhances the detection of cyclists, pedestrians, and other vehicles.Īccording to Subaru, the fuel economy ratings for the Outback are 9.2L/100KM city, 7.3L/100KM highway, for a combined 8.1L/100KM. There is even a place under the cargo floor to stow the tonneau cover.Īll Outbacks come with the latest generation of driver-assistance technologies that Subaru calls, EyeSight. Cargo room with the 60/40 split rear bench is 923L and expands to 2141L when folded down. Rear passengers will find it pleasant back here with their own air vents, USB ports, and the ability to recline the seat backs. We also like the unique green and silver accent stitching fitted only on the Onyx trim. It was easy finding the perfect seating position with the 10-way power adjustable driver’s seats and necessary winter comforts like heated front and rear seats, and a heated steering wheel. With settings for Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud, you can determine how much traction you would need. With Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD, the Outback Onyx has dual-function X-MODE, Subaru’s own traction control system. It’s very easy to set up and is a great feature to have. Subaru has fitted the Outback with swing-in-place crossbars to the standard roof rails for extra versatility.
Our Outback Onyx came with a Cosmic Blue Pearl paint finish, black-finish exterior trims, badging, and 18-inch gunmetal finish wheels wrapped in 225/60R18 Bridgestone Blizzak DM V2 winter tires. If you want more style, you can go for the Onyx trim. This wagon always looks ready for adventure. It also gets extra plastic cladding for the wheel arches and front bumper. The Subaru Outback receives a new front fascia for 2023 with a larger grille, redesigned LED headlights, and fog lights. The Outback has a towing capacity of 2700 pounds (1225 kilograms). Driving the Outback is responsive, provides great steering feel, and offers a comfortable ride. All Outbacks come standard with AWD and 8.7 inches of ground clearance (the off-road oriented, Wilderness, gets 9.5-inches). Despite this, the CVT is smooth, and mimics shifts quite well. This is the engine most buyers would go for, but it is very underpowered there is an optional 2.4L turbocharged engine on higher end trims. The Outback has a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder BOXER engine producing 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque at 4,400RPM. Subaru Canada has given us the keys to their 2023 Outback Onyx for the week.
Maybe the idea of a wagon finds you yawning as it might remind you of a lame family hauler, but hopefully we can change your mind. If you like the ground clearance of SUVs, some wagons have about the same and even more in off-road versions. It’s a rare body type to see now, but wagons are just as practical as an SUV and handle like a car. We wished that more people could see the benefit of getting a station wagon rather than your typical SUV.
