2022 Subaru Outback Base vs Premium

The 2022 Subaru Outback has a robust platform with premium amenities built for adventures and daily drives around Springfield, MO. Featuring the EyeSight Driver Assist technologies, this small crossover SUV qualifies for the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ accolade.

Performance

Delivering slightly over 180 total horsepower, the 2.5-L BOXER engine block propels the 2022 Outback. Opposing each other in a horizontal configuration, the four cylinders operate smoothly. Such an arrangement also lowers the center of gravity of the entire powertrain. This 16-valve, direct-injected powerplant cranks out 176 pound-feet of peak torque. Adopting the latest Lineartronic architecture, a continuously variable transmission is coupled with the BOXER engine. An eight-speed Manual Mode is a significant highlight of this updated gearbox. The entry-level Outback trim and Premium model run on the Symmetrical AWD system for terrific all-weather handling. Both Subaru crossover SUVs can tow up to 2,700 pounds in compliance with SAE J2807 rules. These lightweight family cars get enormous boosts from the standard X-MODE and Vehicle Dynamics Control. Additionally, the Active Torque Vectoring compensates for improper steering and other instability on the road. With leverage from the Hill Descent Control and Traction Control, both Subaru cars navigate steep hills with ease.

Appearance

The 2022 Outback base trim is sold in up to six exterior colors, including Abyss Blue, Brilliant Bronze, and Ice Silver. Some exclusive body colors that are optional for the Premium edition include Crimson Red Pearl and Autumn Green. Both Subaru crossover SUVs are furnished with Slate Black cloth. Measuring 17 inches in diameter, aluminum-alloy wheels with a machined finish are standard on these lightweight cars. Body-colored folding side mirrors enhance the appearance and utility of the Premium model. This trim also has de-icers for the front and rear windshield wipers. Supporting up to 150 pounds of compatible loads, raised roof rails are standard on each Outback trim.

Features

A six-way driver's seat with manual controls is installed inside the 2022 Outback. You'll get a 10-way driver's seat with power adjustments inside the Premium. Both Subaru crossover SUVs have reclining rear seatbacks with a 60-40 split. A single-zone automatic climate control system is standard on the base model. You'll appreciate the extra utility from the dual-zone HVAC unit on the Premium. An 11.6-inch touch screen is integrated into the car's STARLINK Multimedia Plus system. This advanced infotainment console includes 4G Wi-Fi and a six-speaker sound system. The entry-level edition has the STARLINK Dual 7.0-inch system.
