The 2023 Subaru Outback is a petrol wagon with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the BT generation. The 2.5i Premium is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 2.5i Premium version develops 182 hp and 239 Nm (176 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 9.8 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 195 km/h (121 mph). Its power output is about 27% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 36% slower 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 7.6 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 63.0 litres (16.6 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 173 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 1,613 kg (3,556 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 1,225 kg (2,701 lb). That cargo volume is about 10% below 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.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 2.5i Premium and 2.4 XT Touring. Across the range, the specifications span 182 hp to 260 hp and 6.9 s to 9.8 s, while listed starting prices run from $31,145-$35,895. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol wagon models from the same period, the 2023 Subaru Outback is strongest on price, while acceleration and power stand out as the principal numerical compromise. 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.
