Exterior

Let’s see if this is the best 2020 Subaru Outback ever built So getting things started with the exterior as is typical with most redesign Subaru; they haven’t Rock the boat a whole lot. The design in the front is especially familiar, though If you look closely, you will see that the shape of the grille has been gently reworked. And there is black cladding along the bottom to amplify the rugged look as far as the headlights.

They have also subtly changed since the position of the LED bulb, and the turn signal has switched this year. This LED setup used to be optional last year but is now standard in Adaptive LEDs with a slightly different design. Come on the limited and the tour.

Finally, at the bottom, all but the base model has LED fog lights, and all models have eight-point seven inches of ground clearance. As far as the side, the main difference compared to the outgoing generation is the upward swoop at the window.

Which also kind of matches the newfound snoopiness’ of the taillights They are partially led across all models and then down below. There are black cladding and a hidden exhaust outlet, so all in all, the exterior of the 2020 Subaru Outback didn’t change a whole lot.

But they did replace the parts that matter to give it a wholly modern look. Now turning our attention to the wheels, there are three different designs, all of which are new this year.

These are the 17-inch alloys that come on both the base and premium models. While upgrading to limited or touring into 18-inch contrast alloys Finally, the XT onyx Edition has unique black finished 18-inch alloys. Next up, we have the mirrors which are body-colored on all but the base trim, and on our model with package 15, we have the projection light and auto-dimming abilities.

That same package also adds BSM to this premium. However, beyond BSM, all the other safety systems are standard across the board. This means even the base model has Automatic re-collision, Braking Lane Keeping Assist, adaptive cruise control, and auto high beam headlights.

Interior

Check out the much more significant changes to the cabin. So, on the all-new 2020 Subaru Outback, you will find their smart entrance system standard on the limited and up. However, on this premium, we do have its option on still with Subaru’s traditional crucial intelligent fob. Now, as far as a remote start, you can do that via the Starling app. Now to get inside the vehicle itself, Subaru does integrate a sensor behind the handle.

Alright, so taking a first look inside the all-new 2020 outback, what I can tell right off the bat about the cabin is that its kind of has a mixture of both familiar and all-new design cues for the Subaru brand. Now, like always, the first thing we’re going to talk about is your cabin materials and colors.

The push-button start does come with smart entry. So that would be limited and up as standard equipment or optional on this premium. And when you press it, you’ll see the most impressive new feature for 2020, and that is this brand new 11.6-inch high-resolution touch display for the infotainment system. Now, this is standard on the premium up.

So you have analog gauges, and then a 4.2-inch multi-function display in the middle you can cycle through all your traditional information right through here is related to trips and whatnot, but the significant change for 2020 kind of takes us back over here to this display since everything is pretty much integrated into there.

The former Six-inch show that managed to be stacked up there in the top on recent. Subaru’s is now integrated right here across this top bar.

Now growing back to the steering wheel, you have electric power-assisted steering, and Subaru does nicely include their leather wrap steering wheel on all, but the very base model Subaru has happily included paddle shifters to control those ratios, and that’s standard across all the most. Now when we head into reverse, you will find a standard backup camera all the models, also have the dynamic guidelines like this one.

All righty, so let’s go ahead and talk about the powertrain situation with this 2020 Outback Now like last year. It does come with two different engine choices. So, you got the base four-cylinder engine. That is the 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder producing 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque, which is the same as in the Forester. Now, whereas that model no longer offers an XT. The big news is that the Outback has brought back the XT, so we now have a return to turbocharged power with the Outback the 3.6 liter V6 has been discontinued.

In favor of a 2.4-liter turbocharged boxer 4-cylinder that produces 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, so definitely high numbers. Yeah, as far as the transmission, it will always be the Linear tronic a CVT, but you know, we have set eight simulated gears instead of seven previously. And of course, you have symmetrical all-wheel drive standard equipment on every Outback regardless.

Finally, as far as a fuel economy, you will see useful improvements over last year. So, the base engine is up 1 MPG combined 226 cities, 33 highway, 29 combined. However, where you’re going to notice, the most significant improvement is going to be with over the previous V6 to this new turbocharged four-cylinder. That’s rated for 23 cities, 30 highways, 26 combined up to four mpg as a jet. Still, we’re definitely very noteworthy is how good fuel economy that is for that type of power.

This is the base engine of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Is it will be what most people will choose that historically they have and Well, maybe more people will choose the turbo that then the previous v6 because of the fuel economy improvements Still the majority of people are going to want this based engine?
