2024 Subaru Outback Preview Preview, Pricing, Release Date

Model Preview

While wagons may not be the most popular body style on the market, Subaru gave the Outback a mild refresh for 2023. With the wagon coming off of a few small changes, we don’t expect to see anything new with the 2024 Subaru Outback.

The 2024 Subaru Outback will continue to feature a rugged design that’s meant to mimic a crossover. The current iteration of the wagon has sharp headlights, an angular front fascia, and a circular front grille. The Outback’s large fender flares and tall ride height make it more capable than most SUVs off-road. At the back, the Outback has a prominent rear bumper and C-shaped taillights.

The interior design of the Outback depends a lot on what trim you get. Lower trims have a dated dual-screen layout on the dashboard, while higher trims come with a single vertically oriented touchscreen. Regardless of the layout, the Outback’s dashboard is designed around the infotainment system that juts out toward the cabin. The wagon comes with durable materials that are easy to clean, but look upscale, while passengers will find plenty of space. Thanks to its wagon body, the Outback has a generous amount of cargo capacity. Subaru isn’t expected to make any changes to the 2024 Outback’s interior.

Subaru offers the standard Outback with two seven-inch touchscreens, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, two USB ports, satellite radio, and four audio speakers. Higher trims come with an 11.6-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, a wireless charging pad, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and two extra USB ports. These features should continue to be available on the 2024 Outback.

Currently, the Outback is available with two engines, which should continue to be offered on the 2024 model. The base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine makes 182 hp, while an available turbo 2.4-liter four-cylinder is rated at 260 hp. Both engines are paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard.

On the safety front, the 2024 Subaru Outback should be available with the same features as the current wagon that’s on sale. Features like automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, and automatic high-beam assist are standard. Available safety features include a driver attention monitor, reverse automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
