About the 2025 Subaru Outback
If you’re looking for a do-it-all crossover that’s genuinely good at the basics, the 2025 Subaru Outback is worth a serious look. It sticks to its reliable formula: standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive means you don't have to worry about snow, gravel, or light trails getting in the way of your weekend plans. The standard 2.5L engine delivers a solid 182 horsepower and manages a respectable 28 MPG combined, meaning fewer stops at the pump while cruising. With 42.8 inches of front legroom, even taller drivers will find the cockpit comfortable for long hauls. With nine trims available, ranging from the sensible starting price of $29,995 up to the top-tier models near $44,730, the 2025 Subaru Outback easily blends everyday utility with trail readiness.

Every single 2025 Subaru Outback comes standard with All-Wheel Drive, providing predictable traction no matter the trim level you choose.
Solid Cargo Space
Offering 32.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity, the Outback gives you plenty of room for groceries, gear, or luggage right behind the rear seats.
Fuel Efficient Base Engine
The standard 2.5L engine paired with the CVT achieves 26 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway, balancing performance and economy effectively.
