The most adventurous, most reliable,
safest, best Subaru Outback ever.

Designed for unlimited adventure and uncompromising safety, the 2022 Outback features the confidence of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with up to 33 MPG** and the advanced protection of both standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology and the available DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System. And it’s engineered to last, with 97% of Subaru Outback vehicles sold in the last 10 years still on the road today, more than Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, or Hyundai Santa Fe. For 2022, an even higher level of Outback capability is now available: the all-new Subaru Outback Wilderness, featuring extensive all-terrain upgrades including an even more surefooted drivetrain, increased ground clearance, rugged exterior cladding, and a stylish, unique interior.
