A Look at the Subaru Outback
The Outback has always been something of an anomaly in the auto world. Originally conceived as a station wagon version of the second-generation Subaru Legacy sedan, the Outback received some important modifications that would set it apart right from the get-go. While station wagons were still in their heyday when the Outback debuted in the mid-90s, Subaru aimed to bring something a little different and more rugged to the table. The automaker started by outfitting the Outback with protective side body cladding and a raised suspension, two off-road-ready features that would immediately distinguish the wagon from its more family-oriented rivals.
Over the years, the Outback has seamlessly morphed from a good old-fashioned station wagon into something more akin to a crossover SUV, though it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to credit the model with launching the crossover trend itself. By using a car-based platform and raising the Outback roof to improve headroom, Subaru essentially created a proto-crossover that would pave the way for every unibody SUV to come. These features, combined with Subaru’s growing reputation for building adventurous models that all include all-wheel drive as a standard feature, would allow the brand to develop a real niche in an industry where all too many are content to play follow the leader.
As the years have gone on, the Outback has stuck to its genre-defying ways, with Subaru doubling down on its unique design philosophy to make the model stand out in its class. That trend continues to this day, with new Outback models sticking to the formula that made the model such a standout while still leaving room for the sort of innovation that’s so important in today’s auto market. The modern Outback still boasts unrivaled ground clearance, cargo room, and light off-road capability, but Subaru has made a real effort to keep things fresh with new trims, features, equipment packages, and more.
Major Updates for 2023
The Outback Wilderness trim, for example, features a suspension lift that increases the model’s ground clearance to a lofty 9.5 inches while also adding off-road-ready Yokohama GEOLANDAR all-terrain tires, underbody skid plates and a drive selector feature that ensures you’re ready to tackle any road conditions. Outback drivers can choose between two of Subaru’s storied flat-four BOXER engines: a 2.5-liter version with 182 hp or a turbocharged 2.4-liter setup that dramatically ups the power to the tune of 260 hp. No matter which version you choose, every Outback model comes standard with Subaru’s all-wheel drive system, a feature that immediately sets Subaru apart in an industry where all too often, such important safety features are only offered as optional add-ons.
New or Used, We Have the Subaru Outback You're Looking For
Whether you’re in the market for a new or pre-owned Outback, we have plenty of options to choose from here at Ruge’s Subaru. Our new selection includes tons of models that are packed with all the high-tech bells and whistles customers have come to expect from a forward-thinking brand like Subaru. While some automakers rely on flash-in-the-pan novelties to market new models, Subaru only includes those features and amenities that serve a real purpose regarding driver comfort, safety, and convenience, and the stunning 2023 Outback continues this trend. From an 11.6-inch touchscreen display and WiFi hotspot to wireless device charging and a high-end, 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, the Outback interior is engineered to improve every facet of the driving experience.
Of course, no mention of the 2023 Outback's in-vehicle technology would be complete without a nod to EyeSight. Subaru’s proprietary driver-assistance technology is consistently rated as one of the industry’s best, using dual color cameras mounted behind the windshield and on either side of the rearview mirror to scan the road ahead for any obstacles while monitoring traffic speed, lane markings, and more. These types of advanced driver-assistance systems are popping up more and more on new models across the industry, but Subaru goes above and beyond with a seamless suite of technology that makes driving a pleasure. EyeSight includes pre-collision braking, advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centering, available blind-spot detection, and high beam assist, which work together to take the stress out of everyday driving.
Although we love everything the latest lineup of Outbacks offers, those seeking an affordable pre-owned Outback model won't feel left out here at Ruge’s Subaru. In addition to our generous selection of new models, our used inventory includes some real steals, including a selection of fantastic Outback models from the last few years. Finding a reliable pre-owned vehicle within your budget can be tricky, but buyers can shop confidently when buying a Subaru with us. The brand is one of the industry’s best when it comes to long-term performance. In fact, 97 percent of Subarus sold within the last 10 years are still going strong to this day.
If those sorts of statistics aren’t enough to imbue you with a little confidence, our Subaru Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program is sure to do the trick. To earn the coveted Subaru CPO status, a pre-owned vehicle has to meet a rigorous set of standards and pass a 152-point inspection process. Once we’ve made sure it meets our high standards, each CPO model comes with a standard 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, giving you the confidence to hit the road in your new-to-you Subaru vehicle. In addition to the generous protection plan, Ruge’s Subaru CPO models include 24/7 roadside assistance, a CARFAX vehicle history report, a $500 loyalty coupon that can be put towards your next Subaru, and a one-year trial subscription to Subaru’s STARLINK Safety Plus package.
