Similar to the Legacy sedan, the Outback wagon offers a choice of two engines, starting with a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre flat-four. The other is a turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder. Output is rated at 182 and 260 horsepower, respectively. The main highlight for 2022 is the addition of a Wilderness model to replace the Outdoor. This adventure-ready Outback boasts increased ground clearance, more off-road oriented tires and rugged styling elements throughout.
