The reason why we chose the Outback over another suv was because of the ground clearance, reliability, the AWD system (which is far superior over any other unibody vehicle. The Outback has a LOT more interior space, it’s the safest vehicle on American roads, it’s super comfortable. When our Outback wears out we’ll replace it with another Outback. When my Rav 4WD Limited wears out we’ll replace it with a Forester Touring (so we can get the Brown interior). Our Outback has Ivory interior and we LOVE the color. We live in a very mountainous area of the USA in north central WA state and get 5-6 feet of snow every winter. We’ve Never had a problem with traction even with over a foot of snow on the unplowed roads. (We’re still using our original factory tires). This is our first Subaru but both of my wife’s Brothers and sisters in law live in Montana and get more snow than we do here in Washington state and all they drive is Outback’s.

I bought an Outback. Why? I wanted a car that can drive well on all roads with the ability to be easily parked and visit most camp sites. The car had to be affordable, safe, reliable with adequate space for my family of four. Yes occasionally the boot is a little small for all our camping gear but that’s what roof pods/baskets are for.

Excellent review Paul! You’re one of my favourite Australian car reviewers at the moment and looking forward for more reviews to come! One thing I would like to see in your reviews though it’s how the car drives/feels in urban/city environment given most of your reviews have been done in rural area only. Anyway keep up the good work mate!

Didn’t realise that Apple updated ACP to integrate better with portrait touchscreens which is a good thing

Great review. I’m planning to update my current 2018 model so this review really helped me to understand what’s new/different in the 2021 model. Cheers!

For me, the appeal of a raised wagon over an SUV is 1) raised wagon handles better and 2) the boot space is far more useable in a wagon. I think the new outback is the perfect next vehicle for me, although am holding off buying one until they offer a more powerful engine. Ventilated front seats would be nice too, but not a deal breaker.

I bought the Outback. I compared the Forrester, CR-V, RAV4, CX5, Equinox, and Edge. The Outback seems to me to have equal or more quality, be better thought out specifically the infotainment center. I especially like the automatic dimming wing mirror, the position of the blind spot monitor, the 8-way passenger seat, the position of the automatic sensor in the back hatch, the option of a non-turbo, and the quality of the CVT. I was not specifically looking for all wheel drive, but getting the symmetrical AWD at the same price of other FWD's was huge a bonus. The Outback combines, luxury, utility, and practicality for a reasonable price. Seven months in and 7,000 miles later, I am well pleased with my choice.

Finally! My car will remind me about those wedding anniversaries ... how have I coped until now?

Hello, nice review Paul. I've had my 2021 Outback Sport for a week now and I'm really enjoying it. Only done appx 300ks so far but it drives very nicely. Info screen isn't as distracting as I thought it may have been. I'm still learning how to use the tech that's loaded into the car. Night time vision is awesome and the car is very quiet. It's no rocket leaving the lights but then it's comfortable sitting on 100 on the freeway and just flows with the other traffic. Still early days, but so far really happy. Cheers.

Would like to know how you feel after a few months as I am looking to purchase a 2021 Touring. I would like to see one with the ivory nappa leather beforehand.

I had an original Outback (1996) and it was a brilliant vehicle. The size difference between the original and the current model is massive. This model is practically SUV size and should be labelled as such.

I found Subarus one of the best cars to drive around and a genuine SUV. My Forester was let down by a certain Geolander tyres downright dangerous in the wet but the car itself was superb. I drove a new Subaru given to me as a loan car and was fascinated by the pick up and go. The control I got was unparalleled.

Good review, you explained the tech better than any of the other reviews I have watched, I want a sport model in wilderness green please.

Great review! You guys are always a step ahead and you cover all of my potential questions on a new car! About this specific all rounder as you described it, my most important negative comment would be that there is only a petrol edition without any hybrid section to combine it for lower consumption. Rather than that is an absolute all around vehicle with hi end tech safety and it really upgrades your style. Very elegant car but unfortunately much more expensive to purchase here in Greece than any other country. Keep on your great work guys and thank you for your reviews 🙏🏼

Hybrid rarely gives lower consumption

We have a 2019 Outback and couldn’t be happier for a family car. Roomy for three adult sized teenagers in the back, relaxed and enjoyable to drive, all the safety and tech I wanted. I’ve been genuinely pleased with the choice after looking at every mid-sized suv I could reasonably find.

yes i bought a 2018 outback , and yes its a great car on the highway very good on fuel and power , and very safe too with all very useful safety features . very happy with it Cheers steven

Another great review 👌 Best going around. Not sure if it’s been asked before but any plans to review the Mini Clubman anytime soon??

Drove a RAV4, CR-V but the Outback felt more "planted" to the road. This is because of the lower center of gravity of the 2.5L boxer engine. The high gas mileage, high reliability, smooth ride, low noise and recommendation by consumers report magazine were all I needed. Potential buyers must drive other SUVs to compare and appreciate the Outback.

I really like their take on the plastic cladding above the tires. Adds to the overall design.

Hi Paul, what would towing with the outback be like, the specs say it’s 2t which is more than previous 3.6r which was 1.8t, and from memory you had to have an80km limit I only have a small camper trailer so that would be no problem just curious how the towing Capacity is increased although it’s a smaller engine

This is my second subaru outback and I still love it.

Great review ! Its really tough to make a decision within this segment & $$ but this review definitely helps ! Thank you.

Hey Paul, thanks for the review of the 2021 Subaru Outback. I currently drive a 2012 Nissan Murano which I bought as my very first brand new vehicle. Have loved the 6 cylinder, comfortable, full leather Murano but now ready to update the technology and tossing up between an Outback or a Forester. My wife drives a 2016 Forester and we use that vehicle as our road trip car. Fantastic, great vision, AWD safe vehicle. You ask, why a standard SUV over an Outback? Well, the Forester is 6cm higher which makes it easier for us older folk (post 65) to slide in and out without banging your head. The Forester's turning circle means it spins on a dime, but ... in 2022 I'll likely go the Outback for that big screen entertainment/information unit. Would still like to drive a 6 cylinder vehicle for the grunt, but, hey, the world is moving elsewhere. LOL

12:56 The rear head rests are different that those here in the US. These look classier but somewhat odd that they go down below shoulder level when lowered. Any reason for that?

@@GriffDawg94 only the US have the turbo. It was designed and built by Subaru US and they 'own' the engine. Also, for reference, in the previous generation, Subaru sold 1 3.6R model for every 44 2.5L models. Where is the business case to pay to have the US engine built and shipped to Japan based on that? Australia sold less than 5,000 outbacks last year, while the US sold around 200,000. A turbo version will have to wait until the following model year refresh after the WRX gets the new turbo engine in Japan.

Subaru has come LIGHT YEARS from 1978 with our First Subaru DL with 60bhp climbing the hills (second hilliest City in the Country here in the North East) We had 2 long steep hills to get to our house and the little DL never disappointed. Even through the Blizzard of 1978!

Nice review and great attention to detail!

Does the ID link to the seat setting? That is, once the car recognises your face and sets up the centre panel does it also implement the seat settings for that person?

Paul’s review never disappoint me.

I have the previous model, and yesterday had a short drive of this one. I think your observations are really spot-on. Subaru's Outback is the labrador of cars: they do a couple of things very well indeed, and nothing poorly. You can depend on it to meet most, if not all of your needs, whenever that may be. Ownership isn't always smooth, with (in Victoria) some truly second-rate dealerships for servicing. One thing that you touched-on were the minor features: the poor implementation of Android Auto; the need to connect by wire; the lack of decent storage for bits and pieces; no 360 degree camera view, are all seemingly strange omissions. To me a big one is the lack of cooled seats, but provision of a heated steering wheel. The latter is really nice, but I'd swap it for cooled seats every day of the week, particularly in our summers. That said, it's currently at the top of my list for replacing the Outback I have. It's just *there* whenever I need it, and does all I ask of it.

Hey Paul, would love to see you include some of the off-road components in the AWD SUVs, specifically sand. This car especially is marketed as the best of both worlds but I can’t find many videos on how they go beach driving.

Great review as always. I’ve always loved Subaru. Though, stick a small caravan on back and loaded car with gear and kids, the underpowered engine and increase in economy is going to be noticeable.

I'm a wagon person, so the outback makes much more sense to me, love the space.

Hi Paul, i like very much you channel. I am from Czech Republic and i want to buy new Subaru Outback. What do you think about reliability of Cvt transmission? Thanks a lot for your answer. Jaroslav

Had outback’s since 1999, replaced in 2004, then 2009....went to change again in 2012 and just couldn’t do it. Still have the 09 3.0l outback as a run around and went VW as main car. Huge affection for my old outback...newer one too big, too ugly, too slow, too plasticy....just couldn’t do it. This one looks better...but are they going to give it a proper engine ?

Just ordered our new Outback Touring. Build is mid Feb. Paul have you heard any whispers around delivery times? I know there are issues everywhere at present, but we have been told mid March for delivery and we are doing a Tassie road trip in mid April. Hopefully its here by then. Great review. Helped us decide between this and the Mazda CX5

We looked very closely at the Forester as a replacement for our Sportage. It had more useable interior space than the Sportage but the same external size (have a small garage). We drove a mid range demo. We wanted top of range but it wasn't available. Drive was better than we thought although I thought it was CVT noisy on hard acceleration. Was really impressed with the interior features and comfort. I think if this updated Outback had been available it might have tipped us over. As it was we went next door to the Toyota shop, got sprayed with fairy dust and walked out with a RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid.

Hi Paul, well explained mate. Excellent, Thank you.

Hi, I wonder if a car's performance, e.g. 0-100 could be more accurately tested, perhaps with the use of equipment other than relying on each car's speedo. Also, it would be great to compile a spreadsheet with all cars' performance numbers, even if only 0-100 so a comparison could be made. Keep up the excellent work!

Excellent review! 😀

Great report on the Outback Paul I think it’s the best I have viewed. I have owned a number of Subaru’s over the years including the Outback and for the most part I have been very happy with them. I probably would have been interested in buying the new ‘21 edition but Subaru took so long in getting it released here (a year later than the US) that late last year I decided to go for a RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid (mainly because as luck would have it I could get one!) and I would have to say it’s the best Toyota I’ve driven. However back to the new Outback it looks to be the best version of this model that Subaru have brought out so far. I still think the design could have been further updated as it still has some of the exterior look of the 2010 model, Subaru have given a facelift similar to what they did with the latest Forester and I must admit they have become very similar in appearance especially in the tail. I only wish they would have given us a bit more power in the engine bay and I’d have to say the RAV4 has it over Subaru in this respect. I agree with you on the Piano Black finishes they are too easy to become marked or scratched even new from the factory (just have a look at one of the new Mazda’s) I just don’t know why vehicle manufacturers continue with this unfortunate design feature. To answer your question on SUV’s Vs Wagons I think it’s become a state of mind the motoring public, SUV’s have become such a craze and fascination most people still view wagons as an extension of a normal sedan. This however will hopefully be changed a little with the new generation constant All Wheel Drive Outback which is certainly worth considering as it has the same or more going for it than the average mid size SUV. Just have a look at the new Outback sport which would be pick of the bunch.😊

Yes, but how well does it tow ? That's likely why many want a full size turbo.

I wish the US version of the outback had this styling mainly the grill and the fog light Front facia. Also on the forester.

Was so looking forward to this car with the turbo 2.4 when I order my next car in April. I’ve had 2 Outbacks, a diesel Gen4 and 2.5i Gen5, and will not buy another 2.5, which I though was underpowered to the point of being a liability on the highway when loaded with 4 people plus luggage. I could not contemplate towing anything with it. So it is such a shame because otherwise I love it.

I had a Forrester and it was great, i guess one needs to test driving one to determine because some people will be bothered by it and most wont even notice it.

I took delivery of an MY21 Outback Touring a couple of weeks ago. I had traded a MY10 Forester and the car before that was also a Forester. I agree with all the comments made in this review. Every car will have bits you like and bits you are a bit disappointed in. For me the disappointment is in the infotainment system. Overall it is very good except the touch screen is laggy; it can seem like an age while typing in letters, for example. The implementation of Android Auto is not particularly good. I have seen better on other cars. But, let's not be too niggly. The Outback is a lovely car, I enjoy its comfort and I particularly like how quiet it is and thus how much I can enjoy the superior sound system. Finally I reckon it It represents very good value for money; you do get a lot of bang for your buck.

Handed back my company CX9 and spent my money on an Outback Touring. Quiet, comfortable and economical. Doesn’t have bulk oomph away from lights but doesn’t need much fuel for its size. The tech is amazing and took a few weeks to learn as it is so customisable. The Mazda was tech laden but the Subaru feels very next generation in comparison.

The ODD module inside the center console storage seems slimmer compared with similar setups. Hope it'll still be as reliable as a conventional in-dash drive......

Subaru what happen to the bonnet scoop ? You’ve forgotten to put your Signature on the car.

Own a 3.6 2019 Outback and I am very happy with it. Very practical and meets the need for most purposes, drive is very smooth with good acceleration & highway driving. I do prefer the smaller infotainment screen with some buttons. Horses for courses though, IMO you don't buy an Outback if you want to go big bush traversing. Great review Paul, I think you gave it a deserving measured report.

Paul, any plans to do some longer term, or more targeted tests on popular models? A week in traffic or a decent trip? The performance tests are good but what are these cars like to live with for long periods. Does the annoying arm rest continue to annoy or do you stop noticing? Is an underpowered car really underpowered when using it in real world situations. Will a faux roader cope with a family camping trip? I tend to keep my cars for a while and all but the most annoying fails are forgotten after a few thousand km. Even the ride in a ute is long forgotten. However, I did once get rid of a BF Fairmont because I just couldn't get comfortable. Loved that car but always felt like I was sitting on it.

Overall, I really like your laid-back style but this car is an all wheel drive ... why didn't you do any off-road evaluation?

Will you be doing a review on the 2021 Skoda Octavia RS wagon when it arrives?

@@CarExpertAus awesome look forward to it 😀👍 looking at buying one, it’s one of the few wagon that looks sporty and are still practical without going down the SUV market

I have a US spec Onyx XT with the 2.4 turbo and it transforms the car. Very sorry you don’t have it there because it is a big improvement in power without too much economy sacrifice. It is interesting to see the different styling cues and different headrest from the US spec cars. I’ve had mine a year and love it. My biggest complaint is having to go into the screen with multiple touches to change seat heater and other settings. Bring back the buttons!!

"Bring back the buttons!!" Second that, but in this screen crazed era it will probably never happen.

I love the concept though I’m not to sure about the durability of Subaru engines but I still thought I’d like to get one one day until the only gearbox option is now a CVT.

Most reliable cars on the planet, that would be the last thing to worry about.

Is it coming to UK
