The confident traction of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is improved even further with enhanced dual-function X-MODE. A 260-horsepower turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine, retuned drivetrain gearing, increased ground clearance, and water-repellent StarTex upholstery are just the beginning of its summit-conquering features.

The Outback Wilderness pushes everything further, and that includes style. Rugged, blacked-out exterior trim and cladding protect against trail hazards as well as showcase its ready-for-anything spirit. Matte-black finish off-road wheels set the tough foundation of its practical design. Anodized Copper-finish accents and trim hide functional features like front and rear tow points and extend to the interior, where they highlight durable, high-quality cabin materials.

Capability
The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system in the 2022 Outback is designed to optimize traction in snow, rain, on bad roads, or even when there’s no road at all. It constantly evaluates acceleration, braking, and cornering in real time to continuously deliver power to all four wheels. If a wheel slips, power is instantaneously transferred to the wheels that have the most grip.
With its exceptionally balanced layout, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive delivers a solid connection with the road and an engaged, responsive drive. The entire system lies along the centerline of the vehicle, balancing weight distribution between the two sides to help provide optimal performance and control.
