Exterior Design and Trim Levels.

If the exterior design of the 2021 Outback was to be summed up in just one word, that word would be slick. That’s right; the Outback is one slick ride. True to form, the 2021 Outback takes cues from its predecessors. It has an aggressive stance, a classic Subaru front grille, roof racks, sweeping curves, and sleek lines. You will also find that the Outback has 8.7-inches of ground clearance so that you can take your exploration off-road.

You can get the 2021 Outback in the Outback, Outback Premium, Outback Limited, Outback Touring, Outback Onyx Edition XT, Outback Limited XT, and Outback Touring XT trim levels. All of these come nicely equipped with available features you are sure to love. Subaru made sure that the 2021 Outback captures the eye and has the performance chops to go with its looks.

Power and Performance

The 2021 Outback has two available engines. The first engine, a 2.5-liter flat-4 with 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque, is no slouch. This engine has enough power for most consumers and allows the Outback to negotiate crowded city streets easily, cruise down the highway, or take on that dirt road to nowhere.

The second engine takes the Outback to a whole other level. It is a 2.4-liter turbo-4 with an impressive 260 horsepower and an even more impressive 277 pound-feet of torque. This engine begs you to take the road less traveled as you seek your next hiking or camping location.

All Outback trim levels are outfitted with continually various transmissions and an exceptional all-wheel-drive system. This setup efficiently transfers the engine’s power to the ground via all four wheels as you drive through inclement weather or travel to a back wood cabin getaway.

Subaru also made sure that the 2021 Outback can tackle almost any type of terrain regardless of if it’s paved or not. The Outback’s on-road performance is well composed with superior handling and smooth overall ride quality. Steering is responsive, and curvy back roads are no match for the Outback. Off-road is where the Outback truly shines as it can hold steady speeds when traversing muddy unimproved streets and logging trails. The Outback is fitted with a highly tuned suspension consisting of front struts and a rear multilink setup. This setup is ready to take you where you want to go, regardless of the terrain.

Safety Features

Subaru prides itself in providing its customers with safe vehicles, and the 2021 Outback is no exception. You will find that the Outback is loaded with available safety features such as:

• EyeSight Driver Assist Technology.

These are only a few of the safety features available on the Outback. Subaru vehicles are among some of the safest cars on the road today. The 2021 Outback carries this mantle forward with its five-star rating from NHTSA, and IIHS says it’s a Top Safety Pick+.
