Is the 2021 Subaru Outback XT Onyx Edition better than the Forester?

The Outback has been a lifted wagon standout from Subaru from many years and 2021 is no exception. The XT trim packs a 2.4L turbocharged flat-4 that produces 260HP & CVT transmission. Of course getting power to the grown is Subaru's Symmetrical AWD. On the outside you will find unique blacked out touches on the Onyx edition including wheels and grill. On the inside you will be greeted to a ton of room and a 11.6in infotainments system. Is the 2021 Subaru Outback XT Onyx Edition better than the Forester?

Top Dog only because of the turbo version. Bring that turbo to an XT version of the Forester and you'll have a new top dog imo.

[@digitaldoc100]

Interesting as the latest rumor is that the 2.4T could come next year to the Forester. Guess Subaru is finally realizing, with their sagging sales, that puppy ads will only get them so far. My theory is that if you lose the interest of the enthusiasts, they are the influencers of a significant number of car purchases for their friends, relatives, neighbors, and coworkers. The current Forester is quite boring IMHO.

Great review,Thanks . I just purchased a Heavily optioned Onyx in Ice Silver last month. My dealer had very few Subaru's left. The dealer had two Silver Onyx Outbacks left. The lesser optioned Onyx was sold two hours previous to me showing up at the dealer lot. I took this car for a test drive and purchased it. I really had hoped for a Forester XT which of course they don't make. I think the Silver or white versions of the Onyx look great. The car has a very comfortable ride quality and I don't sweat in the seats.Its been 98 degrees here also. Love the looks of the wheels. Yes you can feel it lean a bit on the corners, but not excessively so. Hey its a lifted vehicle. Love the adaptive Cruise. I don't care much for the lane centering as it seems to wander back and forth between lines, so I don't turn it on. The auto start stop can be shut off temporarily with a push of one button on the display. The HVAC system and radio controls can be regulated by voice control also. The turbo engine seems just a bit sluggish at very low speed with small amount of throttle but comes to life quickly. The engine runs fine on 87 octane.(unless towing where Subaru recommends 91 octane min) I have been averaging 26 mpg with 65% highway and 35% rural hilly driving both computed and hand calculated. Wireless charging and CD players are options.I have the wireless charging. I don't really miss the CD player as I usually listen to Sirius XM . I wish it was available with heated steering wheel and seat positions settable for each driver. I find out new capabilities on this outback every week it seems. Example: If you come out of the store with your hands full, all you need to do to open the power lift gate is get your arm/hand a couple inches from the Subaru emblem on the gate for a couple seconds and the gate will raise. (assuming you have the fob on you) Pretty cool. I think its hard to be 100% satisfied with anything you purchase,but this Onyx comes pretty close IMO.

Just bought one; a blue Onyx XT. This review was part of the reason why. What's not to like - in addition to what Raiti touts, its turbo power runs on regular unleaded, it has a full size spare and you can get it with a CD player (not the top trim Harmon Kardon unit. unfortunately, but I had to have the wheels) . And it's built in Indiana with 50% domestic content. Subaru got me out of a Big Three product for the first time in forty years.

[@insideoutfit]

I’ve only driven manual. I’ve been holding onto to my current 2002 manual Outback like a precious gem. Hard to think that my next Subaru may not have that option. Much more of a connected experience when driving a manual. So bummed they seem to be phasing them out.

[@RaitisRides]

[@roberthenry9319]

Folks, it is time to get over your outdated criticism of the CVT. Subaru has created the Onyx CVT specifically for the 2.4 turbo. It is ideal for this car. Saying it would be a good car except for the CVT is like saying a horse would be good except for the saddle. The saddle creates the ride. It is 2021. Time to accept that a modern CVT mated to a powerful turbo engine is an awesome engineering feat. Do you know what it feels like to race around on a really good go-cart? You step on the throttle and just go like crazy, with no upshift hesitation. A go cart is a CVT vehicle. Put that concept in an Outback with Subaru (granted, not Nissan) engineering with a Subaru 2.4 flat box turbo engine and you will love it. A "regular" automatic is boring by comparison. R.Henry

[@issavibez394]

Some German use cvt to Some audis ive seen use it Some domestic to

The Subaru Outback is the only SUV-like vehicle, I call it a sports utility wagon, I would ever drive. Ever. I don't know how it feels personally in the newer models; the only outback I ever driven was a 2013 model and it felt slow, and while going 55, it certainly didn't feel like I was going 55. Did you personally feel as though the outback cuts through on the base engine? I know this trim has a standard turbocharged boxer engine, so is that turbocharger really helpful on that or do I just go for the base engine? I am asking for my Dad, who insists on getting an outback once he uses his CRV to the fullest.

[@morrilp]

Love this setup I am having a hard time deciding between this ONYX XT and the Honda Passport. IVTM-4 in the Honda vs Symmetrical AWD in this Subi. The Turbo 4 vs naturally aspirated 6 in the Honda. ZF9 automatic transmission in the Honda vs the CVT (Honda wins hands down) lower more car like handling vs sitting high up in a lifted fish bowl (Honda). Then torque vectoring (Honda) vs Brake vectoring (Subaru). Finally space I can park a RAV4 in the back of the passport vs a couple snowboard roller bags in the Subaru. There are 3 of us in the family and normally we carry friends and family around to all sorts of places but during Covid it has been just the 3 of us so for right now it seems like the Honda is overkill but... once we are able to will the extra space in the Honda be more appealing? Hmmmmm. Tough decision. I have driven both and I prefer the Subi over the Honda but when I factor in the rest of the stuff it makes it hard. I live in the mountains and I am coming from a 4runner. I know I will be losing my off road capabilities but these two seem to be the best AWD options under 50K. Thoughts?

Passport? Uncomfortable junk. Honda has fallen so far, and I owned two really good ones!

Seems like if cars didn't have simulated shifts.. they might sound weird (like a hybrid) but better gas mileage.. and well.. quicker.. engine stays consistently in optimal powerrange. Which that's the whole point of cvt.. why simulate poor performance other than sound? Call it a simulation... but rpms are actually going up and down right? Not shifting I know.. but altering throttle for no reason other than sound correct?

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

Manual shift in a CVT transmission car seems dumb to me. It has no gears, what are we shifting?! Lol. Does anybody ever use this feature? The last 4 cars I bought had it, and I never used it once. I suspect nobody does. Seems like a dumb feature to put into non-performance vehicles.
