Outback Base trim level upgrades

The Base Outback now comes with dome and cargo area lights that have been upgraded to LED.

Outback Onyx Edition upgrades

The standard 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system is now paired with a Harman Kardon speaker system with a 576-watt equivalent amplifier. In addition, the Onyx Edition now comes standard with a Power Moonroof, Reverse Automatic Braking, and a 360-degree heated steering wheel is now standard.

Onyx Edition XT

A 360-degree heated steering wheel is now standard on the Outback Onyx Edition XT. This feature was only offered on higher trim levels the previous year.

All other features and standard equipment remain the same as the 2023 Outback models. And the MSRP for all 2024 Outback option packages remains the same as the previous year.

Is the 2024 Outback a good value for midsize SUV shoppers?

What sets the Outback apart from other SUVs? All Outback midsize SUV trim levels ride higher with extra ground clearance than most family haulers. The Outback has 8.7 inches of ground clearance, Subaru's Symmetrical all-wheel-drive, and X-Mode for all-terrain performance. The Outback also gets the highest safety scores from the IIHS.

Which trim level is the best value?

The 2024 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium and Limited trim levels are where many buyers will land and offer the best value with the smallest price increases. The Premium and Limited trim levels still provide the best value for customers who spend most of their time in an urban setting.

The 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated engine in the Subaru Outback Premium, Onyx Edition, Limited, and Touring trims is a good choice for commuters who won't use their vehicle for off-road adventures.

Unless you need the Outback XT's extra power and off-pavement capability, you will pay around $5,000-$8000 less for a comparably equipped 2.5i trim level.

However, the Onyx Edition XT and Wilderness trims are priced under $42,000 and are a good choice for those with active lifestyles and will get you further off the grid.

What is the 2024 Outback fuel mileage?

If the 2024 models remain the same, the EPA fuel mileage rating of the Outback XT 2.4-liter turbo is 22/29 city/highway mpg and 25 combined mpg. The estimated fuel economy of the standard 2.5-liter engine is 26/32 mpg city/highway and 28 combined mpg.

The EPA says the Outback Wilderness gets an estimated 21/26 city/highway mpg and 23 combined mpg.

The 2024 Outback's most significant new upgrade.

The new standard 360-degree heated steering wheel on the 2024 Outback Onyx Edition, Onyx Edition XT, and Outback Wilderness is the upgrade customers have wanted for years. It could be the most significant improvement for the 2024 models.

Customers in colder climates will appreciate the added warmth of having the heat on their hands. U.S. customers won't need to wear gloves when the temperature drops below freezing in the Northeast, Rocky Mountains, and the Northwest. They say, "thank you, Subaru of America!"
