Why it stands out
The 2021 Subaru Outback remains a standout option in the wagon segment, thanks to its unique blend of spaciousness, rugged capability, and reliability. This model continues to prioritize the essentials that drivers crave: generous cargo space, with a maximum of 76 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down, and renowned all-wheel drive performance that enhances its off-road capabilities. Despite its reputation for being more utilitarian than stylish, the Outback's interior feels contemporary, especially on higher trims equipped with the 11.6-inch touchscreen. However, it remains true to its roots—offering a comfortable ride with ample headroom and legroom, all while providing modern safety features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. The available turbocharged engine transforms the driving experience, giving it a much-needed boost in performance. Though some limitations, like the underwhelming base engine and the placement of climate controls, have been noted, the Outback's overall value proposition—particularly its safety ratings, all-wheel drive as standard, and high resale value—makes it appealing for both urban and adventurous drivers alike.

Upgraded to 2021 Limited from a 2016 Outback. Like the improvements for the seat positioning options, mirror adjustment integration to driver choice, and of course the touch panel in the middle. Will be integrating Android Auto as well once I stop driving. It has a better ride then 2016 - kudos to Subaru for making those minor adjustments. Looking forward to better gas mileage, engine now shuts down when at a stop. Heated steering wheel a nice touch. Map and driving direction work very nicely with improved notifications. Traffic jams are now very apparent. Look forward to longer road trips given the comfort that is now there.

We were searching for a safe and reliable car for our teenage son to commute back and forth to school. The Outback checks so many of the boxes for what we were looking for... with one very big exception. The climate controls on the 2020+ models being very low on the touch screen(s) and not directly responsive caused my son to take his eyes off of the road for much too long of a time just to adjust the fan speed. Were now considering models up to and including the 2019 builds as the climate controls are more easily accessible.

Im not sure if its due to riding higher or what it could be but for some reason this outback xt feels quicker than my previous 2015 wrx. I drove a impreza in-between the two so its hard to say. But the crazy lag I remember with my wrx is not present in my xt. Its awesome and more than I expected.
