What SUV offers the best value for consumers? According to the Best Value of 2021 awards by Cars.com, the 2021 Subaru Outback is a top-three contender for its annual Award. They choose from a long list of new cars regardless of when they were introduced or last updated. The three favorites picked are based on features, warranties, and overall performance for the money.
The 2021 Subaru Outback midsize wagon/crossover was chosen as a final nominee along with the 2021 Hyundai Tucson compact SUV and the 2021 Hyundai Venue small SUV. The Outback competes in the competitive midsize SUV/crossover segment and was an all-new model in 2020.
For the 2021 model year, the Outback was upgraded with new safety technology “while keeping its cost reasonable,” making it a top pick for SUV shoppers. All 2021 Outback trims were also upgraded with steering responsive LED headlights, passenger seat belt reminder as well as a rear-seat reminder.
The curve-adaptive LED headlights were previously only available on Limited and Touring trims. The upgrades give Outback improved safety ratings on lower trims with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
