Safety and Technology
Subaru continues to lead with its standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which includes:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane centering
- Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking
- Lane departure mitigation
Upgraded trims add features like a front-view camera, rear automatic braking, and blind-spot monitoring, which enhance both convenience and safety. In comparison, some competitors only offer advanced safety features as optional upgrades, making the Outback a better value.
The Outback also features an intuitive 11.6-inch touchscreen on most trims, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. While competitors like the Chevrolet Blazer offer modern infotainment systems, Subaru's interface stands out for its ease of use and seamless connectivity.
Trim Variety for Customization
The 2025 Subaru Outback offers a wide range of trims, from the budget-friendly Base model to the luxurious Touring XT. Whether you're looking for premium leather upholstery, advanced off-road equipment, or a high-powered turbocharged engine, there's an Outback trim to suit your needs.
- Base and Premium trims cater to practical buyers with affordability and great standard features.
- Onyx Edition XT offers a sporty design and upgraded power.
- Wilderness trim targets outdoor enthusiasts with enhanced off-road capabilities.
- Limited and Touring trims provide upscale comfort and technology for luxury-seeking drivers.
In contrast, competitors like the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Chevrolet Blazer offer fewer trim options tailored to specific needs.
Value and Pricing
The Subaru Outback starts at a competitive $28,895, undercutting many rivals in the midsize crossover segment. Even the fully loaded Touring XT tops out at $42,795, offering an excellent balance of luxury and capability at a reasonable price.
When compared to the Honda Passport, which starts at a higher price point and lacks standard all-wheel drive, or the Chevrolet Blazer, which doesn't offer the same level of off-road readiness, the Outback emerges as the clear value leader.
