The 2022 Subaru Outback impresses with its adventurous spirit for exploring off-road trails. Pushing you ahead is the available 2.4-liter Turbocharged 4-cylinder horizontally opposed SUBARU BOXER engine, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and the Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission. Paddle shifters encourage you to change gears with the flick of a finger. Ground clearance of up to 9.5 inches makes it easier to traverse rough terrain. This exterior capability is matched by the interior features mentioned here.

Comfort

The room interior of the 2022 Subaru Outback accommodates up to five people on two rows unless you fold down the rear seatback to expand cargo volume from 32.5 to 75.7 cu. ft. The front seats are available with built-in heating and ventilation, and power adjusts in 10 ways for the driver with power lumbar support, and 8 ways for the front passenger. You can store seat and power mirror settings for up to two drivers in memory.

Your seat cover choices include cloth, StarTex® water-repellent upholstery, leather, or Nappa leather. The steering wheel can be heated and covered in leather. It integrates controls for Bluetooth, Adaptive Cruise Control, and the audio system.

Open the power tilting-and-sliding moonroof when you want to bring in more air and light. With Dual-Zone Climate Control, you and your front passenger can choose separate temperatures, which compensate for changes in the weather. Plenty of storage is available, including in the center console, underfloor storage in the cargo area, and a removable cargo-area tray. Eight cup and bottle holders can secure your beverages. Above you is the overhead console that contains two map lights and storage for your sunglasses.

Infotainment

In the 2022 Subaru Outback, you can easily control how the STARLINK® Multimedia Navigation system connects you to the world. It integrates Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so you can make phone calls access text messaging, and download selected files. You and your passengers can browse the Internet without using your data plan, thanks to the built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. Forget about cables and ports when you want to power up your device. Just lay it on the Qi-certified Wireless Charger. Otherwise, dual USB ports for charging are available in the rear.

Up to an 11.6-inch multi-touch gesture, high-resolution screen is available, which displays turn-by-turn directions on reaching your destination. You'll get there faster with SiriusXM® Traffic, which reports road works, road closures, and accidents in real time. SiriusXM® Travel Link provides information on parking, weather, fuel, and more.

Your entertainment will sound superb on the Harman Kardon premium audio system, which comes with 12 speakers and a 576-watt-equivalent GreenEdge® amplifier. Your entertainment can come from the SiriusXM® radio, which covers channels for commercial-free music, live sports, the latest news, and exclusive celebrity talk.


Protection

The 2022 Subaru Outback surrounds its riders with a safety cage made up of high-strength steel. It also has a ring-shaped reinforcement frame, height-adjustable head restraints, and eight airbags. Accompanying this brawn are plenty of smart driver assists.

  • The DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System keeps an eye on several driving variables to determine if you are distracted or falling asleep. It can then warn you to wake up. This system also stores the settings for seat position, outside mirror position, and climate settings for up to five different drivers.
  • To make your lane changes safer, Blind Spot Detection lets you know on the appropriate side-view mirror that a car has entered your blind zone.
  • Back up and the Rear-Vision Camera shows what's behind you. To give you a closer view of what's coming, the 180-Degree Front-View Monitor displays video of what's in front of you.
  • If you're in an accident and unable to respond, Advanced Automatic Collision Notification reaches out to a live agent to send help. If you need help, you can also press the SOS Emergency Assistance button.
  • The Auto-Dimming Mirror can darken automatically when it detects glare. It tells you where you're headed with the eight-point digital compass. You can program the HomeLink® button to manage garage doors, home lighting, smart devices, and more.
