Is the 2022 Subaru Outback a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Subaru Outback earns a 4.75/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its safety features, value, and performance in snowy conditions, and they also like the rugged look and driving experience. The trade-offs are that the base-engine power can feel lacking and the infotainment system can be a bit complicated. For you, that means this is a strong fit if you want a practical, all-weather vehicle with a more adventurous personality, especially if you value capability and safety over a simple cabin interface. Good and great deals account for 35.2% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with praise centered on safety, value, and confidence in snowy conditions. The expert evaluation also frames it as a vehicle built for everyday use with strong all-weather capability and long-term practicality. The first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house, which helps reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about finding a well-kept example whose technology and condition still feel fresh.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Subaru Outback?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the drivetrain, tires, brakes, and any signs of off-road wear. Because this model is positioned as a rugged daily driver, condition matters a lot: look closely at interior wear, underbody condition, and whether the vehicle has been modified.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Wilderness trim stands out with 9.5 inches of ground clearance, more aggressive all-terrain tires, improved approach and departure angles, a unique grille, black 17-inch wheels, blacked-out exterior trim with Anodized Copper accents, a matte black hood decal, and a roof rack and rail system rated for a 700-pound static load. Inside, it adds StarTex water-repellant upholstery, heated seats, a black headliner, Gunmetal Gray trim, Anodized Copper stitching and accents, brushed aluminum pedals, all-weather floor mats, waterproof rear seatback material, and a waterproof cargo tray.
• Powertrain: Every Wilderness uses a turbocharged 2.4-liter flat-four with 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT and standard all-wheel drive. It also gets revised final-drive ratios, a 3,500-pound towing capacity, and X-Mode with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud modes plus hill descent control.
• Safety package: EyeSight includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, lane-centering assistance, and a driver monitoring system. The Wilderness also adds steering-responsive headlights, blind-spot warning with lane-change assistance, and rear cross-traffic warning. DriverFocus is not included on this trim.
• Infotainment: You get an 11.6-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen, physical knobs for volume and tuning, physical buttons for temperature and defogger controls, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and PIN code entry technology. Voice recognition is less intuitive than it should be.
• Fuel efficiency: The Wilderness is rated at 24 mpg combined, and the test route returned 21.3 mpg.

Which 2022 Subaru Outback trim should I buy?

The 2022 Subaru Outback is offered in 1 trim level: Wilderness.

Here's the short version:

The Wilderness is the clear choice if you want the most capable and distinctive version of this model year. It adds the lifted stance, all-terrain tires, upgraded angles, stronger trail hardware, and the most adventure-focused cabin treatment, so it suits you best if you actually plan to use the Outback beyond pavement. It also brings the strongest personality in the lineup, but the trade-off is that its rugged setup and touchscreen-heavy interface may not appeal if you want a simpler, more conventional daily driver.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Subaru Outback?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 35.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,274 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.62% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,993, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Subaru Outback's resale value?

The current average of $23,993 sits slightly below last year's $25,973.

That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle, but it also means future resale will depend heavily on how well the vehicle is maintained and presented. If you keep mileage reasonable and preserve condition, you should be in a better position when it comes time to sell. Strong demand for capable, safety-focused vehicles can help support values, especially when the model has broad appeal.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Subaru Outback safe?

The 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness was not crash-tested as of this review, but the standard Outback earned a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

EyeSight is the core driver-assistance suite, and it includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, lane-centering assistance, and a driver monitoring system. The Wilderness also gets steering-responsive headlights, blind-spot warning with lane-change assistance, and rear cross-traffic warning.
