Subaru Outback Touring 2023 review: snapshot

EXPERT RATING
8

The Touring is the top grade in the Outback line-up and has a list price of $50,990.

This isn’t the most expensive Outback in the range, however. The Touring XT is more expensive because it’s the turbocharged version of the Touring.

The Touring has a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine making 138kW and 245Nm, with a continuously variable auto transmission. Like all Outbacks the Touring is all-wheel drive, too.

Subaru says that after a combination of open and urban roads the 2.5-litre engine should use 7.3L/100km.

Coming standard on the Touring 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, power tailgate, heated front seats and sports pedals.

The Touring grades also has nine-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, a heated steering wheel and Nappa leather seats

The Touring also comes with a CD player… yes, really.

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. 

There’s AEB, autonomous emergency steering, lane keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic alert with reverse auto braking and blind-spot warning
