Opening up the new year of 2024 is the Subaru Outback 2024 model. This outback blurs the line between an SUV and a wagon, but with the lower profile of a wagon and the low ceiling, it offers more space for cargo than other average SUVs.
The low ceiling also allows more ease when you’re loading items on the standard roof rails and crossbars or inside a mounted cargo box. The standard all-wheel drive and nearly 9 inches of ground clearance make the outback both steady and sticky on highways and other kinds of roads.
Digging deeper into the 2024 Subaru Outback, let’s look at the engine and performance, interior comfort and cargo, infotainment and safety features, and its price.
Engine and Performance
The 2024 Outback comes with a 2.5-liter, 182-hp flat-four cylinder standard engine and a 2.5-liter, 260-hp turbocharged flat-four cylinder engine, which is optional. Both are mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that provides power to all wheels except for the rear-drive BRZ sports coupe.
A 8.7-inch ground clearance and all-wheel drive make this wagon able to navigate inclement weather and even muddy roads with ease. For maximum travel-anywhere capability, the wilderness model boasts a 9.5-inch ground clearance as well as beefed-up suspension and skid plates to protect the underside.
The outback suspension provides a docile ride and its steering is accurate and easy to manage on the highway.
Interior, Comfort and Cargo
On the interior, the 2024 outback shares the same styling with the Subaru Legacy. Both interiors are filled with the essence of comfort, but the cabin is not so much energizing. Some of the other features include dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and copious USB ports. More upscale features such as a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, a power-adjustable front-passenger seat, and heated rear seats are available on fancier trim levels.
And it feels spacious with an extra 1.4 inches of legroom and its cargo area consists of 33 cubic feet of space.
Infotainment and Safety Features
The outback is available with either a dual 7-inch display in the base model or an 11.6-inch display in other trims. The big screen features a rotary volume and tuning knob as well as some physical buttons for climate settings, which makes them easier to use. The infotainment system includes a built-in navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and wireless device charging, which are optional, as well as Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration.
For safety, all outbacks come with driver assistance technology, which key features include:
– Standard forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking
– Standard adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping assist
– Available blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert
