What's New in the 2022 Subaru Outback?
The 2018 Outback received a midcycle refresh, with a more aggressive grille and headlight treatment, new wheels for the Limited trim, available steering-responsive headlights and, on Limited and Touring trims with EyeSight, automatic high beams. A revised suspension delivers a smoother ride while sound-insulating glass helps quiet the cabin. Inside, a new dash features more soft-touch material, and a new center stack now features an 8-inch touchscreen (6.5-in on the base trim) and revised HVAC controls. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and a new gray interior option is available for both cloth and leather.
