I love my outback touring xt. Just 2 things.
Get the auto dimming side mirrors. They werent standard.
2. DONT get the wirless charger. It just overheats the phone and barely charges.
And horrible cameras and no self park
@@gaurang1201 who would ever trust a car to self park for them..lazy ass
Subaru needs to rethink some of their choices. People don't want digital screens for controls. We want buttons, switches, and knobs. Nor do we want big brother fussing at us for not watching the road while we muck around with the on screen menus. Also, nothing against the Turb, but some people don't want them. (more maintenance, shorter life span) Bring back the 3.6R (at least as an option). It gets nearly identical milage, has ample power, better reliability, and is much quieter and smoother than the 2.4). Yes, it may be a tad slower off the line, but Outback owners aren't typically drag racing them. We just want a swiss army knife type vehicle that can get out of it's own way.
EVERY MANUFACTURER is going to digital screens, whether we want them or not. That "big brother" sensor you're talking about can be disabled. "Some people don't want them" (turbo)? Then DON"T buy an OB with it! And the "more maintenance, shorter life span" BS? There is NO EVIDENCE that the turbo has a "shorter life span", and the "more maintenance" BS is a lie. The 3.6R won't come back - it got SIGNIFICANTLY lower MPG, the reliability is NOT BETTER, and your comment about the 3.6R "is much quieter and smoother than the 2.4" is another of your lies. Bottom line - you're a troll. Thanks for playing!
I DEFINITELY want a nice big digital screen, so much perfer that to old school buttons and switches.
I dont agree 2.4 turbo is the best thing Subaru has done the combination with the Subaru Performance Transmission Its powerful and at the same time smooth, only Subaru could do it.
I own this car. It’s my 5th Outback and 4 out of the 5 are still in my family. I agree with the big brother.
@@ozziesmom9186 Problem is, if the display is not working, no heat, no AC, no heated seats, start, stop on and off and other things.
I bought the 2024 Outback XT and I love it. I got white and it is sharp looking even though you think with the white the cladding is to much but it is not. The white is sharp looking. The car moves with the Turbo and like you said in a previous video the Touring XT stereo is awesome. love the car. The Java brown is rich looking too. Outback you rock!
The Outback is the best Subaru!
@@703Speed Agree!
Yes, I agree this vehicle should have the 360 degree camera. And I also think that you should be able to start the vehicle from the key fob, instead of having to go to your phone to start the vehicle. If the app was free and there was no charge for the app then I could see why I wouldn't need the start button on the key fob.
The cladding should only be on the Wilderness trim ,don’t like it on the other trims.
I kinddaa agree, but I don’t think it looks too bad
great review, really enjoyed it !! just ordered a 2025 Outback XT touring, delivery in late Dec early Jan , lm in Australia.
I love Subaru Outback touring XT-
Though there are no significant differences between 2020 and 2025. (1) body cladding on exterior (2) Digital rear view mirror- which you can get OEM and install (3) wireless apple and android car play.
Beyond that effectively the same… it works- great vehicle all the way around!!!
I was actually very surprised with the base engine. As an owner of the XT the 2.5 base was very good
Excellent video! Very helpful. We are considering purchasing this vehicle and you did a great job explaining it. Watching you actually driving the car, demonstrating and explaining things while driving distinguished this video from others and brought it over the top. Well done!! 👍🏼🚙
Your honesty makes these reviews so great!
Glad you like them! Thank u
Beautiful car❤and yes I think I want one,your video was excellent great job.I appreciate all of the awesome tour of car!
2023 The front design before better than new
Enjoyed this clip. Presently I drive a 2015 WRX 6 speed manual.being in my early 70"s this will be my last car. I live in Canada and will be getting a Premium XT with all the bells whistles and toys. This video was helpful for this vehicle, as its a computer on wheels.
Usually you tell us if the vehicle has side window acoustic glass… did i miss it?
I agree with the other comments...The Subaru is a great vehicle but not so wild about the infotainment system.
Agreed! It could use a little work, but truthfully - it’s not as bad as some other infotainment systems on the market
@@703Speed PRECISELY. I travel a lot for the Feds, and get to drive lots of different rental vehicles. Subaru isn't nearly as bad as MANY of the infotainment systems out there, but there's always room for improvement!
I got the 2024 touring XT and the turbo engine is worth it. It is surprisingly quick. I got the dark gray. I just hate the wireless charger. Overheats the phone and doesn't charge fast enough. In fact even the USB c port barely charges when using wireless android auto. Def could use 360 camera
Excellent review as always Kenny! That is a really nice wagon and will definitely be one I consider if or when I shop for my next car. Hope that you are doing great! Congratz on 41k!!
As far as MPG on our '22 OB Limited XT..... I can get about 22 - 23mpg in mostly urban driving, and on trips? Ain't no problem breaking 31 - 32mpg (and that is MPG computed by calculator, not the car's average MPG supplied by computer). Not too shabby for a 3900lb AWD vehicle, and I'm not a slow driver! It easily beats the MPG from my previous vehicle, a 2010 Chevy Malibu LTZ w/4cyl & six speed auto transmission. And, Josh, there's one additional thing that I really like about my OB that almost no car reviewers mention - turning radius. If you have to around and go back up the road you just came down, the OB has a very tight turning radius (better than our previous Chevy Malibu, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and definitely my previous F-150!). You don't think much about until you need to make a tight U-turn, and you see it in action. Nice!
I have a 22 Forester sport and I love it. I could care less about the 360 camera and the Turbo.
I remember a few months back you were thinking about being done with doing this
I glad you didn’t stop - you’re one of the best my friend; always keep it up - you do amazing work! 👍👍
I get those feelings every now and then.. Felt like that this past week.. I take it a week at a time. I’m glad you like the videos though! Thank you for the support :)
Needs HUD, too. Nice review!
That would also be a nice addition!
Looks like you've got what we call 18 hole tan going there. Thumbs up review. So tempting but we've got a dozen in our neighborhood already! Peace bro
Hahaha, yessir. Played 18 a couple weeks ago..
Great car. Get rid of the turbo…just makes maintenance much more expensive down the road.
base model engine too under powered. only 187 HP. having the 260 hp is way better. my CRV has 182hp and its a dog sometimes and it weighs less so the outback is too heavy for the less power.
Great review of an awesome vehicle!
Thank u!!
Why does the dash lights look like they are flickering. Would drive me crazy.at 29.35. Is it just sun reflection?
I love all Subaru products & I buy this 1 day.
Do you think the Outback is the best Subaru?
Great review.
Thanks buddy
@@703SpeedYou're welcome Kenny.
hate those touch screen controls.
We bought our 2025 Touring XT about a month ago. In Crystal Black Silica and Java brown interior. The only thing I don't like the is the quality of the backup camera. Subaru should be ashamed. I specifically told my dealer I did not want the wireless charger. He found me one with the LED door projector, which initially I didn't really want, but it's actually pretty cool! Drives like a dream.
The cameras and missing the 360 is crappy. The #1 thing I miss from my Mercedes GLE. Also doesn’t have the same IT voice understanding. Otherwise enjoy it.
It’s a giant crosstrek!
Haha, I like the venting on the Crosstreks arch moldings
No - the Croostrek is a mini Outback!
I completely agree about the 360 degree camera
I have a 8 year old Cadillac that has that feature
Just drove a 2025 Forestor today
Ready to buy a new vehicle but will probably wait until the Outback adds the camera
My wife has a 2021 Outback
I currently drive a 2021 Ascent as a company car
Enjoyed the video
I would like to see tis carwith manual transinsion. Greetings
Nice Kenny 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍
Thank you Mr Rocky💪🏼🤙🏼
I like the Subaru's but not loving the infotainment system.
As someone who's about to pick mine up tomorrow, absolutely this. The screen is the weakest part by far, *almost* unacceptable
@@TeaganAtwater I test drove the Ascent this week but I probably will not buy because of this system.
It's really a shame
I love that vertical screen and how everything's integrated.
@@chuckwalla2967 I found it to be very slow.
I only kept my new Outback 2021 XT ‘touring for 18 months .. Couldn’t stand the CVT whine and jerky fake shifts making it horrible to make use of the 2.4T engine power. The infotainment would reboot from time to time for no reason. The Harmon Kardon amplifier failed at 18 months which was the last straw . The ventilated seats wouldn’t work with remote start and lacked in power. Traded it for a Genesis and no regrets so far . Subaru Outback , Nice car in theory but the none XT variant better value in my opinion .
Sounds like a lot of troll BS to me... almost as much as the junker you bought as a replacement. ENJOY! 🤣😅😅😅😅😆😂😅
@@eskieman3948I own the ‘23 OB Touring in Australia AND I agree with mervstone17 completely…the only time the Subaru does exactly what it should in EVERY respect is on the open road! The computer system is lack lustre and the transmission (cvt) is uninspiring to say the least!
The biggest selling points of an Outback are the AWD, the sedan driving experience, the room of a midsize suv. It is the cheapest, thus best selling sports wagon in the market. Let me put it this way, who else makes new AWD station wagon these days, Audi allroads, Volvo XCs, Mercedes E wagon 4matics. If all wheel drive is not your thing, then there is very little reason for buying a subie, right?
No electric start?
I test-drove this trim last October. Deal-breakers: the wireless phone charger that actually doesn't work (even the sales guy told me not to get it), the heating steering wheel that is weak (almost non-existent), and the lack of a 360-degree backup camera. Then add in the other almost-deal-breakers: the horrible plastic cladding is just over the top, and the screen/infotainment system is super dated. I went with the top trim 2023 Sorento instead for a few thousand less. Come on, Subaru, update this model already! I've got 2 more years on my lease, I want to make the switch!!
Cladding is ugly. Car itself is great.
I am not buying without 360 degrees camera..
this rig got 12 windows. windows are great, you can just see thru the material whats behind it. awesome invention
Heads up that heated steering wheel is not standard on Outbacks!
Also ventilated seats are not standard either
@@TeaganAtwater They are on the touring. And the wilderness gets a heated steering wheel.
The heated seats & steering wheel as well as the ventilated seats are standard on the Touring XT!
@@703Speed Ah okay I got confused about which things you call out are standard on all and which are specific to the one you're showcasing! My bad, thanks for the reply and some great outback content recently! Just picked mine up today 😍
$45,000 for an Outback. Nope.
