The Outback, a mainstay of Subaru's lineup since 2000, is a small wagon with seating up to 5. The Subaru Outback has some real zest, surpassing typical horsepower for its class. Exceeding the average MPG (miles per gallon) for its class, it reduces fuel costs and the carbon footprint. The Outback has offered Android Auto and Apple CarPlay since 2019. With standard all-wheel drive (AWD), it bypasses mud and snow with ease. Subaru offers a 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, and a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.
