If you need a new vehicle for everything daily life in Bassett, Danville, Rocky Mount, or Greensboro can throw at you, the 2025 Subaru Outback takes some beating. Although officially classified as a midsize crossover SUV, the Subaru Outback is an incredibly versatile vehicle that can take on almost any role. If it’s flexibility, versatility, choice, and reliability you want, the Subaru Outback is in a class of its own.
Forget about a couple of relatively similar models that offer limited choice; the 2025 Subaru Outback is available in an incredible nine trim levels. It’s easy and somewhat cliché to suggest that a model can be any vehicle you want it to be. But with nine different versions to choose from, the Subaru Outback really can be. The lineup starts with the affordable Subaru Outback Base model, which is of great value. The most opulent trim level at the top of the range is the Touring XT. Between those two, the lineup includes the Premium, Onyx Edition, Limited, Touring, Onyx Edition XT, Wilderness, and Limited XT.
The 2025 Subaru Outback is a versatile midsize crossover SUV with good handling and a comfortable ride. However, those are just the initial aspects of this versatile vehicle’s performance. The basic 2.5-liter flat-four engine in all variants up to and including the Subaru Outback Touring trim produces a very respectable 182 horsepower and 176 lb.-ft of torque. The standard engine is replaced with a 2.4-liter turbo-four with 260 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft of torque starting with the Onyx XT and above. As you would expect with Subaru, each Subaru Outback is equipped with Subaru Symmetrical AWD, regardless of which engine is under the hood. Additionally, every model uses a CVT transmission—which many commentators claim to be the best on the market—to distribute power to all four wheels. Also included as standard equipment across the range are Subaru’s X-MODE, Vehicle Dynamics Control, and Active Torque Vectoring. Vehicles with the standard engine can pull 2,700 pounds, while vehicles with the turbo-four engine can tow up to 3,500 pounds.
Despite not being as tall as some midsize crossover SUV rivals, the 2025 Subaru Outback has a generous amount of passenger space. You even have an ample 33 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seats. Although the Subaru Outback Premium is positioned just one step above the base model, it’s a very affordable option with impressive standard features. Standard features include auto-on/off wiper-linked headlights, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, dual-zone climate control, and the SUBARU STARLINK 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system. And you only have to look to the Onyx Edition and above to get a standard Harmon Kardon premium audio system. With so many trim levels available, most features you could want or need are available, such as ventilated seats, Nappa leather upholstery, a hands-free rear gate, navigation, etc.
With its standard AWD, spacious interior, generous standard features, and legendary reliability, the 2025 Subaru Outback is ideal for commuters, families, or outdoor adventurers. Whatever you need a vehicle for, there’s probably an Outback that fits the bill.
