Base, Premium, & Onyx Edition

Base

The base 2024 Outback equips you with an extensive collection of excellent features, making it hard to tell it's the entry-level trim. Firstly, it's powered by a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine, generating 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. This potent engine also provides 26 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway and is outfitted with symmetrical all-wheel drive.

Also at your disposal is the SUBARU STARLINK® dual 7-inch Multimedia system, including Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, SiriusXM, HD Radio®, a USB-A port, and Bluetooth® audio streaming.

Safety stands at the forefront of every Outback, and that’s why each trim is equipped with standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. This sophisticated suite includes automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure with sway warning, pre-collision braking, and advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centering.

Premium

The next trim level keeps the same fantastic base features; however, it adds a few upgrades dedicated to enhancing comfort and style. These include a power-adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats, a dual-zone automatic climate control system, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter handle. The Premium trim also features an 11.6-inch SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia system.

Onyx Edition

Some of the main differences that set the Onyx Edition apart are style and utility. The Onyx Edition features all-black 18-inch alloy wheels and a hands-free power rear gate. It's also the first of the lineup to come with a power tilt and sliding moonroof, heated steering wheel, and blind-spot detection with lane change assist and rear cross-traffic alert system as standard.

Limited, Touring, & Onyx Edition XT

Limited

The Limited trim ups the ante regarding class thanks to its leather-trimmed upholstery, heated front seats, and heated rear outboard seats. It also comes furnished with a 2-position driver’s seat and power mirror memory for added comfort and convenience.

Touring

The Touring stands as the first trim to include integrated navigation with its SUBARU STARLINK® system and continues to build upon the great features of the previous trims. Some of these enhancements include ventilated front seats, Nappa-leather-trimmed upholstery, and a smart auto-dimming rearview compass mirror with HomeLink®.

Onyx Edition XT

This trim and those that follow switches up the powertrain; the Onyx Edition XT features a 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine, producing 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, yielding 23 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway.

Geared more for rugged adventuring, it cuts back on luxuries of the previous trims by opting for StarTex® water repellent upholstery and doing away with features like ventilated front seats.

Wilderness, Limited XT, & Touring XT

Wilderness

The Wilderness trim sports hexagonal-style LED fog lights, perfect for navigating low-visibility. It also comes with raised roof rails supporting up to a 200-pound dynamic capacity, ensuring you can load multiple bikes to hit the trail.

Limited XT

The Limited XT variant brings pack leather-trimmed upholstery and features accents the XTs are known for, like all-black wheels, crystal black silica-finish folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals, and body-color door handles.

Touring XT

The top-of-the-line trim, the Touring XT, takes all the most desired features and amenities of the previous trims and throws it all together, making it the premium 2024 Outback.
