The 2024 Subaru Outback Touring XT Is A Capable Lifted Wagon With Surprising Turbo Power

[@theredline]

Happy Monday everyone. Hope you had a great weekend! For a country that supposedly despises station wagons, Subaru managed to sell a little over 160,000 units in the US in 2023, making this car the best-selling Subaru model, outselling even the Crosstrek and Forester. Who else would like to see other brands more lifted station wagons like this car?

[@rightlanehog3151]

Hopefully Subaru has paved a road that the Crown Signia can follow. 🤞🤞

[@z1az285]

unfortunately i have heard the next version of the outback will follow the foresters path which looks like a ford explorer now, bigger and less fuel efficient, unless they tweaked something to improve efficiency. im not sure how fuel efficient even the hybrid versions will be. the previous eboxer crosstrek and forester sucked in fuel economy

[@vedder10]

My dream car was a Subaru Outback when I was in my 30's. Since then I've owned two Outbacks(currently on my second). It's still my dream car in my late 40's.

I love my 24 wilderness, all black with legal tint all around. Unfortunately, my wife loves it more so I am getting a WRX and she's getting the wilderness.

[@johnkkkj]

I just got mine a week ago, I have nothing but praise for the Outback Wilderness it is the best and most refined Subaru I have even been in. I know the touring has a fancier inside, but the Wilderness is nice enough and the extra height and lower engine torque make for a better ride for me. She is quick and planted! Can't wait to take it off road but she is too new!

[@MrChadder007]

Just a side note. The Touring trim has acoustic glass to dampen the noise a bit more.

[@16kristina]

Really?

[@daniyalqazi7]

I've always been a Toyota guy. During the new vehicle shortage (21/22) I was in need of a new car. Looked at Toyota and could only get quotes well above MSRP, and also wait times. Called a local Subaru dealer & they told me they don't do mark ups at all. I shopped around and found that to be the case with every single Subaru dealer in my area. Needless to say, I went with a Subaru. The car has been awesome and I now see why they're very popular in my area.

[@ddphotoadventure2657]

Yep me also. Same situation, Toyota would not work with a customer at all on price. Subaru actually came down just a little on price and I think I had to wait 3 months for my outback

[@hellolin324]

What Subarus shine is when it snows. I drove my Forster through a mountain snowstorm on the highway. Everyone in front of me is hydro planning including other part time AWD cars. I was driving at 50 mph without anything special turned on easily. When making turns at local roads, with snow, I saw all other cars drift, I turn on X-mode and nothing bad happens, the car grips the road.

[@ddphotoadventure2657]

I agree. My outback did way better then other vehicles in the snow

[@rogerspalding5673]

When originally introduced, the Outback was simply a raised Legacy wagon. Sales did so well in America that Subaru eventually discontinued the Legacy wagon. The wagon was always more attractive, but money talks. The fully framed out windows on the doors helped reduce NVH. The turbo is mandatory, to my way of thinking. Subaru has as much, or more, experience in the turbocharging of engines than any manufacturer. For years, it was a very successful participant in the World Rally Challenge. It spent alot of money putting together a partnership with ProDrive which always employed the best drivers, mechanics and engineers. Colin McRae and Richard Burns, sadly both are deceased unrelated to driving, were wildly loved for winning World Championships in Subaru Impreza Turbos. They did more to popularize Subarus in Europe than any ad campaign ever could.

[@yankeesusa1]

Wow, more gpt comments. Amazing

[@drn13355]

I do not have the turbo and I love it. Not sure why the F it would be mandatory. I guess if you are insecure or something.

[@saltyt.1886]

Love the Outback Touring XT. As fast as a WRX but much more practical. Hopefully the New York Auto Show will debut the 2025 redesigned Outback with the standard NA motor, the turbo XT model and a hybrid option too, just like the 2026 Forester will have! 😍 Now we just need the return of the Forester XT! 🙏🙏🙏

[@z1az285]

the hybrid system will be borrowed from Toyota and hopefully maximize gas mileage

[@keithemerson616]

A couple of issues with your review. The rear seats do recline! The lever is hidden by the seat belt, it is located on the outside bolster. Also, you can leave all of the safety systems on, and turn off the beepint alerts.

[@jonlosito2004]

Probably a terrible place to put the lever in.

been waiting for you to do this review. Glad you did!

[@jeffsena9140]

I bought a 2024 Outback Limited 2.5 in August. Subaru offered a $2,000 discount, out the door price of $37,500. The is my sixth Subaru after switching to a couple of CX 5’s. I must say nicest interior, best ride and quietest Subaru I’ve owned! Mine came with winter mats cargo and back of seat backs protection. Also, wireless charger. Downsides include slow acceleration, loud engine noise with CVT and disappointing MPG. Only get 21.5 in town but 29-30 on highway. Window sticker said EPA city 27, I’ve yet to achieve that! Tom Tom navigation is not very good, switched to Apple Car Play solved that. Overall , very satisfied, but maybe turbo was better option since mpg is what’s claimed!

[@EisenhowerPark]

Your monologue pace was 👌🏽

[@m3rdpwr]

I pickup my fully loaded 2023 Touring XT this week. Low miles, very clean. I'm almost excited. lol

[@janoycresnova9156]

Can someone explain how this much heavier, bigger Outback with way more ground clearance gets a much better fuel economy and runs on regular while having almost the same 0-60 vs the WRX? Wtf have they been doing with WRX?

[@bruddahmanmatt]

The WRX's 6MT has very short gearing and requires a 2-3 shift before 60 mph. The gap widens in the quarter mile where the WRX is about a half second quicker than the Outback XT. That same short gearing is why the WRX also has garbage fuel economy as you're turning a lot of revs on the highway. It's also why the Outback WN has awful fuel economy as the WN uses a shorter final drive than other Outback XT models. FWIW the Outback/Legacy XT and Ascent run higher max boost pressure than the WRX, their motors make almost 20 more lb-ft of torque than the WRX, but the WRX makes up the difference with more advance by running on 91. The XTs and the Ascents prioritize low end torque to get moving because owners will be hauling people and stuff. This focus on low end performance helps in a drag race which has never been the WRX's focus. The WRX is a canyon carver and it's all about maintaining momentum in the turns and that 3-4 shift on the open road.

thanks for the review Sofyan, not an SUV fan (half the drivers can't control or park them!). Really enjoying my Magnetite Grey 2022 Touring model in north Scotland (my 2nd Outback), in a recent Subaru UK survey I completed, only 2 things I said they need to make the Outback near perfect, XT turbo engine (we only get the 2.5L limited to 169PS in UK) and all weather tyres as standard, instead of summer Bridgestone's.

Same. It looks better in a darker color.

[@brandonswan679]

I agree. The beefed wheel cladding is hideous, and nearly destroys the look of this otherwise beautiful car. I wish they would go back to the previous simpler cladding of the pre-refresh model.

[@danielzhang1916]

I wish they would stop throwing on cladding, if you do it right it looks good

[@DRayL_]

I don't understand the fake shifts. If you want shifts in your vehicle, just use a regular transmission. The purpose of a CVT is to hold at ample power/efficiency.

[@mikegordon8178]

My OBTXT only does the fake shifts if you floor it for max power. If you drive normally or even lighty sporty there are no fake shifts.

[@DRayL_]

[@jbountalas]

I was thinking about the turn signals, and i wonder if the fading effect of the non-led lights might actually make the turn signals a bit more noticeable that the simple on/off of the LED lights. And to your comment on having a digital display, wouldn't that be one more expensive thing to fix once it breaks? The analog gauges just work.

[@johnfarel3152]

The facia has grown on me not unexpectedly. I went with the wilderness because initially I didn’t like the new grill /cladding design but I think I would have been happy with it. That said my wilderness model is loaded with features and looks so cool.

The rear seats of outback xt do recline: control is on outside edge near the seat cushion. As for 20" wheels, no thanks...our roads have many potholes and huge wheels/rubber band tires guarantee flats and bent wheels then.

[@ricatiman]

As an Outback owner since 1998, I have found that regarding big cargo areas, the Outback is superior to most SUV's unless they are considerably larger outside. The Length of the cargo area is the clincher, as it comes in useful quite often, and I have never had an issue with height inside. Current offerings often are quite short behind the rear seats, and require loading up to that ceiling, to carry what an Outback can, without exceeding the rear seat height. The length makes sleeping inside just fine for my 5'10" body as well. And offroad? Far better than most people realize.

[@kewlbean]

It would be cool to have Subaru do a regular version of the Legacy wagon as well. Something more sporty and fun. Less body cladding. Great review.

[@anthonyng3014]

They have it, it's called the Levorg but for some reason decides not to sell to us in North America.

Sofyan, The ongoing success of the Outback bodes well for the upcoming Crown Signia if Toyota can keep prices reasonably reasonable. 🤞🤞 As a general question, doesn't anyone build cars with a 40/20/40 second row anymore? A vehicle like an Outback is crying out for a proper ski pass-through. 🤨

This is my next vehicle whenever my 2015 Honda Pilot EX-L dies. By the way the Pilot runs and drives, it may be the last vehicle I'll own as old age is at my door. I've owned a 2009 Forester XT that was great and never left me stranded here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Pilots are decent in winter but I've heard an Outback with snow tires you can climb trees if need be.

[@jwhughes3]

Our 24 Pilot EX-L was hit and totaled after only owning it a year. My wife found she didn’t use the 3rd row and between Forester and Outback wanted that larger cargo area and the Touring XT ride. I’m really enjoying driving it more than the Pilot.

The lag when accelerating wasn't something I want to deal with on my commute into the big city. They should've kept the engine sound out of the cabin, because it's an ugly, depressing noise. I didn't find the driver's seat to be all that comfortable. I also drove the Forester Wilderness and liked the seat more in that. With all that said, considering all the powertrain problems most manufacturers are having, I haven't marked the Outback off my list. I could probably get used to it.
