What Makes the Subaru Outback Unique?

The Subaru Outback is a versatile midsize SUV that blends the smooth handling of a sedan with the rugged capability of an off-road explorer. Featuring standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and generous ground clearance, it is designed for drivers who demand safety, durability, and expansive cargo space. Its unique wagon-inspired profile offers easy roof-rack access and a low load floor, making it the premier choice for outdoor enthusiasts.

Capability, Technology & Wilderness Trim

At Subaru Santa Monica, we recognize the Outback as the "Swiss Army Knife" of the Subaru lineup. It stands apart through its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, which provides continuous power to all four wheels for maximum traction on slippery canyon roads or sandy beach turnouts. Inside, the cabin offers a premium experience with the latest SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia system and the sophisticated EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology suite.

The Outback's architecture is a masterclass in utility. With a cargo area that expands significantly via 60/40-split flat-folding rear seats, it easily accommodates surfboards, camping gear, or local farmers' market hauls. For those seeking even more capability, the Outback Wilderness trim elevates the platform with increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and specialized X-MODE® settings.
