Reviews SummaryPeople love crossover SUVs because they drive like cars but provide the utility of an SUV, and the Subaru Outback was one of the first modern crossovers when it went on sale almost 30 years ago. Now, the 2023 Subaru Outback gets several updates. The improvements include fresh styling, new infotainment and safety technologies, and a more accessible price point for the popular Onyx Edition, which features blacked-out exterior trim and water-resistant upholstery. These changes to the 2023 Outback build on the momentum established by the rugged Subaru Outback Wilderness, which debuted last year. | |
Reviews SummaryTried and true, the formula behind the 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack is nothing new. Take a station wagon, add all-wheel drive and SUV styling cues, raise the suspension a bit, and solve for a variety of daily driving requirements. AMC did it in the 1980s. Subaru did it in the 1990s. And now Volkswagen is doing it in the 2010s. Consider me a fan of Germany’s take on an old recipe. | |
