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?

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.

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! I just bought this exact vehicle after driving WRX's exclusively since 2002. So far I love it! My only gripe is the climate control and seat heater buttons are so tiny they seem to belong on a cell phone screen. What's the point of having a giant display if it's not optimized for the real world? But overall, it's a very comfortable and versatile vehicle with good power. I think it looks great as well.

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.

You can open the tailgate by just waving your hand in front of the logo, btw. Couple of other things: integrated/folding roof racks are the best and you didn't mention X-mode for offroad/snow - of which the Onyx has two different modes. BEAST in the snow.... Yes, a regular old automatic would have been nice :( Bringing back the XT got me back into the Outback (had an 05 Outback XT previously). Great review!

Another thorough review , thanks Joe. Just bought the ‘21 Touring XT although it was a tough choice between it and this Onyx XT. I prefer “faux” leather like the Onyx has- way more durable, especially if you have dogs but I wanted an interior that wasn’t black and I could only do that with the Touring edition. The turbo is the way to go, the non turbo engine is just too sluggish. Great car, have had it a month and I’m thrilled with my purchase.

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?

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

My man joe!! I thought you were going to drop the ball. Bit at 20:33 you finally brought up my pet peeve, VENTILATED FRONT SEATS. And 37K without them, that's 2 big ass zonks for Subaru!!! Since Kia put them in my 2014 Soul!. Why the hell not in 2021? That's an embarrassment.

I might hopefully get a Subaru Outback onyx XT because nowadays after 1995 I've been seeing probably a lot of Subaru Outbacks even when I go to work when I'm in a Chevrolet Express AWD. Also on the Subaru SUVs I'm still wondering why is Subaru when they put the Subaru badge on their SUVs they also put the word Subaru on the side of the rear part of theIR SUVs

Get a normal roof rack and dump the CVT. The same priced Cherokee Trailhawk can tow 4,500 lbs with a ZF 9 speed trans. I know, resale but it does have hood struts.

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.

SUBARU needs a sports wagon w/MT. I've driven SUBARU since 1973. The first was a 1000 SS. Currently a 2005 Legacy 2.5 GT wagon w/MT. Looks like it's my last SUBARU because of CVT.

I would would buy a turbo car again! I had a 2020 Ford Edge 2.0 turbo. Acceleration from a dead stop was scary when crossing busy traffic or someone speeding toward you. I got rid of the brand new car with 512 miles in less than 4 months! I went back to a regular V6 engine and NO Ford turbo crap!
