Subaru Outback Sport XT 2023 review: snapshot

EXPERT RATING
8.7

The Sport XT is the turbocharged version of the Sport grade and lists for $52,190.

The Sport XT has a 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine making 183kW and 350Nm, with a continuously variable auto transmission. Like all Outbacks the Sport is all-wheel drive, too.

Subaru says that after a combination of open and urban roads the 2.4-litre turbo engine should use 9.0L/100km.

Coming standard on the Sport are LED headlights, LED fog lights and LED running lights, roof rails, privacy glass and 18-inch alloy wheels. Inside there’s an 11.6-inch central touchscreen with sat nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, power front seats, a proximity key, push button start, 'X-Mode' drive modes, paddle shifters, a power tailgate, heated front seats and sports pedals.

A cool feature of the Sport grade is its water repellent seats. 

All Outbacks come standard with an excellent array of advanced safety tech including Subaru’s 'Eyesight' system which uses two cameras to scan the road ahead.
