Buying Advice

For 2023, we would like to recommend the mid-range Premium trim. For the added money, you get a Power-adjustable driver's seat, Dual-zone automatic climate control, Heated front seats, Bigger 11.6-inch touchscreen display, Leather-wrapped steering wheel, and much more. We especially liked the Cosmic Blue Pearl, Crystal Black Silica, and Crystal White Pearl exterior paint options as they accentuate the Outback’s fun loving nature.
