CAR magazine UK's Subaru Outback review: full road test, specs, prices, performance figures, photos galore – and a fearless verdict you can trust
Subaru remains an oddball brand on the periphery of the UK car market, selling fewer than 1500 cars in the first half of 2024 for a 0.1% market share. That’s around 30 times smaller than Skoda, another brand selling sensible, roomy estates and SUVs. Yet Subaru continues to defy the odds and survive in Europe, selling cars like this – the latest Subaru Outback – that sell like hot cakes in countries such as the US and Australia and in only modest numbers here.
Balanced against that, we reckon the prices from £36,995 represent fair value in this age where most direct rivals have dried up and disappeared. Read on for our full 2024 Subaru Outback review to see what we think of it.The Subaru Outback was the original pioneer of the soft-roader breed back in 1994, don’t forget. Tough-as-old-boots Subaru was first to fit its estate car with wellies and it’s still here doing the same trick 30 years later.
There’s little evidence that the latest Outback has deserted these roots. In fact, our example was remarkably indestructible inside – it really does feel like it’s ready for a couple of decades’ service. Irrespective of the surface it rolls over, the Outback rides well. Primarily because Subaru hasn’t stuck massive wheels and low-profile tyres on it. It’s 18-inchers only with this car, paired with 225/60 R18 tyres to cope with mud, snow, wet grass and road pimples.
