The 2022 Subaru Outback is a petrol wagon with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the BT generation. The 2.4 XT Touring is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 2.4 XT Touring version develops 260 hp and 376 Nm (277 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 6.9 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 209 km/h (130 mph). Its power output is about 11% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 12% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 9.0 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 63.0 litres (16.6 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 205 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,860 mm (191.3 in) in length, 1,854 mm (73.0 in) in width, and 1,680 mm (66.1 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,745 mm (108.1 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 522 litres (18.4 cu ft), expanding to 1,848 litres (65.3 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,695 kg (3,737 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 1,588 kg (3,501 lb). That cargo volume is close to the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol wagon models from the same period, the 2022 Subaru Outback is strongest on acceleration and power. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
