I love my 2023 outback. Only had it 7 days and love the ride, the soft touch closing on the doors, the like the screen, not too crazy as in a Tesla and if I'm not mistaken. The ground clearance is the same as my 2015 model but the new '23 model feels higher. I selected brilliant bronze metallic w/black interior. Taking up to Northern California next week for its first long distance trip. Can't wait. Thank you for your video and all information.
@@johnfive2440 How so? The 2023 is the best looking one. Of course, it is subjective. However, they ruined the Outback by no longer offering it in a manual---for me at least.
@chrisx5127 exactly, looks are subjective. I think the redesigned front bumper/fascia is absolutely hideous. But to each their own. As for the manual situation, I've had so many manuals, I'm actually liking an automatic, so I'm OK with it.
The new Outback has some nice changes, although, I think we will upgrade anytime soon as we have a 19' 3.6R Outback Touring of course it's modified for off-roading and camping. Let me say these Outbacks have outstanding terrain performance it handles well in any weather condition.
Really enjoyed your review. Very well done! I just recently bought a 2023 Outback Premier XT and absolutely love it! Definitely glad I went for the turbo!
The new Dark Mahogany Pearl color truly is beautiful. The only problem is that the interior color that comes with it is dark grey and lighter gray with black accents. With essentially every exterior color other than mahogany this gray-on-gray color is awesome. But gray on gray does not at all blend well with mahogany. It makes for a mismatched gloominess which does not fit the Outback at all. A tan or light brown interior with the mahogany exterior would be truly awesome. Perhaps the reason for the gray on gray is that the Subaru Star Tech materiel (which is far better than leather) only comes in gray. In any event, the Subaru Outback in any color combination is an automotive work of art that is perhaps the best bargain of the automotive world. And oh man are they ever fun to drive (especially the wickedly quick Turbo).
I think buyers should be aware that when comparing Outback models, the Wilderness edition has a different rear differential with a different final drive ration and revised X-mode programing resulting possibly a different driving/shifting feel/dynamic.
Quality coming out of SOA right now is abysmal. Picked up our new 2023 Outback last Sunday and noticed dent on top of rear fender (not where someone could have dinged it with their door), a hood that has over 1/4” gap on the passenger side and is rubbing the front fascia on the other side, and found debris left in the engine compartment from assembly. Just look at how poorly the rear hatch surround fits (dark plastic pieces next to the rear window) and why Subaru would ever let it leave the factory like this. Also check out how the rear bumper cover fits to the rear fender - on ours the fender sits outside the bumper cover which is probably more of a part quality issue over assembly screw up. We waited over a year for dealers to get real with their pricing and should have waited a bit longer for quality to have improved. Our Japanese built Subarus (3 Imprezas, 1 Crosstrek and 1 Forester) had noticeable better body assembly, tighter panel fit and superior paint finishes. Our Japanese built Forester looks as good as the day we picked it up seven years ago. Subaru can pack all the gimmicks they want into their cars, but we’ve always purchased Subarus (now our 11th) for their build quality and expectations of reliability. Our recent purchase confirmed our suspicions that they “don’t build them like they used to” at Subaru.
I have a 2023 Onyx XT on order in the US and we don't get the heated steering wheel on that trim like Canada does, but I'm happy with the content, overall. I plan to keep this car for at least 150000 miles and I'm a little worried about how reliable the turbo engine and CVT transmission will be over time, but Subaru has made substantial improvements to this powertrain so I am hopeful. I'm usually not one to buy extended warranties, I think they are almost always a waste of money because they expire at 100000 miles, which is when issues typically start. That said, I MIGHT get one this time due to the complexity of the powertrain.
having xpel wrapped my off road trucks I'd say the best option is pick your favorite color then getting it wrapped in xpel stealth. that way you get the matte look you're going for.
Bought a limited dark blue and 2.5 I didn't want to lose gas milage on turbo. Leather is nice but you hear wind if its blowing 20 mph outside. Very small armrest compartment and the book takes up most of the glove box. I plan to get a plastic tote to store stuff in. I like driving it
I was possibly interested in buying one as a second vehicle, to my 2 seater Lexus LC500. However, I do not like the facial recognition in the Subaru.....for obvious reasons!
Noticed your outside right fender camera came off at around 18:25 or so. I hope you gave a good reward to whomever had to fish that camera out of that muddy bog.
I have watched a lot of vehicle reviews. One thing I have never heard anyone talk about are the arm rests. Are they sufficiently wide enough? Are they at the right height? Do my elbows reach them. It probably like a small issue, but it is something that I notice very early on when trying out vehicles and they can either be very comfortable and useful or the complete opposite of that.
Unless I'm mistaken, that's the Touring trim you're driving. Chrome mirror caps... The base model does not offer a turbo engine, or leather interior. You've referred to it as the Premier.
I keep contacting Subaru customer outreach like twice a year to tell them to offer a dark green like Jeep's OD Green or Toyota's Army Green, as well as ventilated seats on the OBW. Make this foo look aggressive, no more baby-puke green. Also need ventilated seats on that model due to most of their clientele moving from cold northern states to Texas. C'mon everyone let's light up their consumer requests department!
Very excited - taking delivery of our 2023 Onyx 2.5 (base) tomorrow. One curious thing - I had ordered (alongside the dealership salesperson) a standalone auto-start feature. You can see it is available as an accessory - and advertised by subaru as an option so you don't have to pay an annual fee subscription to Starlink to have the remote-start function. THis was why we purchased the extra feature. For some reason - my dealer salesperson told me that he was told by Subaru USA that this was no longer an option for 2023 outbacks and I would have to pay for the Starlink subscription in order to have the remote start functionality. I am wondering if this is accurate - and why SUbaru still has the standalone feature available as an option. Any ideas?
Good video - but my only complaint is that it was hard to follow which version you were talking about. I'm confused about some of the features offered. I'm getting the 2023 outback onyx xt and can't wait?! Trying to plan more before It's delivered.
Man, I love those wheels...how I wish that's what came on the Ascent Limited & Touring trims. Too bad they're "only" 18s, Limited & Touring come with 20s.
It’s not an SUV be honest. This is a station wagon with a 4” lift. There’s nothing wrong with that btw. Like the look, wish they just made one that was larger and longer.
The vertical screen is kind of weird. Would take a little getting used to. Nice review; thank you. I wonder why the Mahogany Pearl is more available in Canada than in USA. Are the Canadian vehicles manufactured in Indiana? Never under stood why people would want want black wheels.
No. Not at all. 40 k is a bargain for what the Outback offers. Sounds like you have not driven one. Test drive an Outback-especially an XT turbo- and then tell us if you think $40,000 is overpriced. Would love to hear if your opinion changes.
I’m thinking about getting instead of my Honda Passport but can’t decide which trim package. I like quieter ride but the black wheels, dual X mode. I don’t tow but wish I had a teardrop, don’t care if I have a sunroof. I want turbo hope it doesn’t go bad
According to Subaru's website the Onyx does not get a heated steering wheel. It says not available as an option until you get a minimum of a Limited trim level. Are you sure the Onyx has it? The video angle sure looked like it had the button for the heated wheel but were you actually sitting in an Onyx for that shot?
I remember when there was different colors all over my car it’s because I couldn’t afford to paint all the fenders the same color. The black plastic looks so cheap.
I’m on my 2nd forester 2010 was the first followed by a 2017 Subaru it too me is leaps and bounds above everyone else’s if not with this supply Chain bs I’ve be looking at a new forester or outback wilderness

What's wrong with the Outback Base Model? Everybody talks about the Onxy or the Premium, or the Touring but not creator talks about just the Base Model
My choice #1 would be the Base Model. But.... #1 The base model does not have tinted glass that is unaxeptable. #2 It does not have the big screen that changes interior dramatically. I bought the Premium and added a few things. You can see my Outback on my channel.
I hadn’t heard about it but after checking online it seems that any new units have been corrected and they have a fix for any that had already been delivered.
@@roberthenry9319 I believe ya. I’m sure they have improved. Our 2013 wasn’t horrible by any means. I think it was a little too slow for me. Lol. Now the turbo I’d definitely be interested in test driving sometime.
Not any time soon.... Subaru Heavy Industry is a big corporation but its auto department is a small. It produces only specialty vehicles..... revenue from its auto department is small compared to what it gets from other heavy equipment production..... so Subaru is in no rush to jump on the EV or hybrid band wagon... plus, all Subaru vehicles are selling very well in their ICE form... so there are no urgent needs to go hybrid or EV... however, Subaru does have an EV known as Solterra.......it's basically a rebadged Toyota bZ4X..... but it's on "recall" status now due to manufactured defect.... Subaru did try to get license to use the Toyota synegy hybrid powertrain system, but Toyota refused to grant license for Subaru to use it. It's proprietary technology, and Toyota is not ready to share it with anyone, even though Toyota does own 20% of Subaru Heavy Industry Inc.
@@robertdunn9785 Very interesting.. This intel is lost in all the videos I have seen so far. Now I am wondering if the 2.5 flavor is lacking anything else from the Onyx package that I didn't know about ?!
The boxer engine is garbage. Expect to add nearly a quart every 3000 miles. More plastic than you can image from engine to interior. Tuneups stupid expensive thanks to hard to reach spark plugs. Sheet metal so thin, it dents if you lean against it. I bought a 2015 Outback and am so done with Subaru.
True mate. I sold my 2018 Outback, CVT just doesn’t cut it, been bogged in it a couple of times and couldn’t get it out. And mine was the 2.0 litre turbo diesel model, great torque but can’t get that torque to the gearbox. They gotta bring back the manual box, and a decent auto gearbox, maintenance cost on the CVT is a joke.
oh my god !!! why are the tires that skinny ?!! this Vehicle needs a very wide tire- wide in width I'm not talking about the none sense large diameter 19 -20 OR 21-inch rims I actually don't care that much for these . but I do care about wide Tire specs.
Most SUVs (few exceptions) are wagons by definition (RAV4, etc.) The Outback is more of SUV than many other SUVs. calling the Outback a wagon is an example of white noise. Please see the video on my channel for this specific topic.
Ridiculous to that you don’t get a full size spare. How you truly gonna get yourself out of trouble with a donut wheel? What’s Subaru thinking, no wonder people are leaning towards Toyota.
Electrified Subie?????? Hybrid Subie????? Not any time soon.... Subaru Heavy Industry is a big corporation but its auto department is a small shed.

Yeah, the Depressing Grey and Death Black interior colors of 1990 are still being standard colors for people who haven’t grown up and demanded classy colors. 🤮🤮🤮
I have a 2018 outback premium. I f'in hate the cvt trans and how absolutely gutless it is when it has not warmed up in particular. I have never driven a car that I have thought I was going to die in on a daily basis because it can't get out of its own way. It is a good highway cruiser though and nice and quiet. I put cross climate two tires on it and that improved my spirited driving a lot. That thing will go anywhere in the snow with those tires. I will literally go over the speed limit and drive faster than anybody else with confidence. Unfortunately I couldn't handle the gutless lack of power and ended up looking at faster cars. I bought a tesla model 3 but I still have the subaru as a 2nd car that literally gets driven about 20 miles a month. It's nice to know that no matter what the weather that I can get in the subaru and drive it anywhere that has a normal road. I might even trade it in for a new 2023 if there are cvt improvements and also get the turbo. But I would still only drive it a few hundred miles a year.
You "drive over the speed limit and go faster than anybody else with confidence" in a Subaru Outback that "has a gutless CVT" that "can't get out of its own way" ?????? Does this make sense to anyone out there who is reading this? Drive the 2020-2023 turbo Outback and then get back to us on your opinion. Are there "CVT improvements" since the 2018 model? Oh yeah. There are improvements. Man, there are improvements.
So I really don't think it's original I really do believe that while the Outback is so phenomenal they kind of stole that stole that idea from AMC Eagle when that vehicle was around after that vehicle was discontinued when Chrysler bought AMC and so the rest of that off that's when the Outback came out
WOW...TELL THE WORLD...HAND OVER THE REAR "BADGE" AND THE REAR OPENS. NEED TO MODIFY THAT CAN BE TURNED OFF VIA THE KEY HAVING A BUTTON . WHEN R3TURNING TO THE VEHICLE JUST PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN ON.
Subaru needs to hire a designer preferably an European one to make their cars aesthetically pleasing. 2022 Legacy Limited XT and already ready to trade it in.
The dark mahogany pearl on the top trim in your review is absolutely beautiful. And the location with the autumn colors... very very nice.
The fall leaves were absolutely stunning and worked very well as a background. Thanks for the comment🙏
@@EverydayReviews2022 I too fell in love with the Dark Mahogany color. Is this available in the US with the Limited trim?

Keep a steady foot on the throttle with a bit lower rpm. It will behave like the CVT you want.

@@mengyuanxian3279 This car is made only for America and I am not from America and I like the outback more and I wish to see it with seven seats
oh my god !!! why are the tires that skinny ?!! this Vehicle needs a very wide tire- wide in width I'm not talking about the none sense large diameter 19 -20 OR 21-inch rims I actually don't care that much for these . but I do care about wide Tire specs.

The Outback isn't an SUV.
A wagon on high heels is still a wagon!
Most SUVs (few exceptions) are wagons by definition (RAV4, etc.) The Outback is more of SUV than many other SUVs. calling the Outback a wagon is an example of white noise. Please see the video on my channel for this specific topic.
@khristy Truth!! But that's not a bad thing...
@@drw1926 Absolutely not. An AWD wagon with high ground clearance is a crossover (SUV) or vice versa.
Seriously who is responsible for the front restyle....it's horrific
Yeah, it will scare children!
Thank god we don’t get that front end in Australia.
@@shaneandersen1316 we dont!....."hallelujah!"
I like it
Agree. It looks thick and overwhelming and disproportionate
Ridiculous to that you don’t get a full size spare. How you truly gonna get yourself out of trouble with a donut wheel? What’s Subaru thinking, no wonder people are leaning towards Toyota.
would you rather have a donut or nothing, DUH
@@hunterhawk5710 mate don’t need smart ass comments, a Donut ain’t gonna get you out of trouble. I’m from Oz and where we live donuts won’t do the job
Of course the Outback comes with a full-sized spare. Go to a dealer and take a look. Then post us again with real information.
Volvo v90 cross country is better
That plastic up the sides is awful.
Too bad you CANNOT take it home
cvt transmission and engine still problems
Nope.
Bad car
As long as they keep using that stupid CVT, I'll stay away from Subaru.
Update POS CVT and make it look decent first ....
Electrified Subie?????? Hybrid Subie????? Not any time soon.... Subaru Heavy Industry is a big corporation but its auto department is a small shed. It produces only specialty vehicles..... revenue from its auto department is small compared to what it gets from other heavy equipment production..... so Subaru is in no rush to jump on the EV or hybrid band wagon... plus, all Subaru vehicles are selling very well in their ICE form... so there are no urgent needs to go hybrid or EV... however, Subaru does have an EV known as Solterra.......it's basically a rebadged Toyota bZ4X..... but it's on "recall" status now due to manufactured defect.... Subaru did try to get license to use the Toyota synegy hybrid powertrain system, but Toyota refused to grant license for Subaru to use it. It's proprietary technology, and Toyota is not ready to share it with anyone, even though Toyota does own 20% of Subaru Heavy Industry Inc.
EV is not the future.
In 10 years nobody will want one anymore.
Yeah, the Depressing Grey and Death Black interior colors of 1990 are still being standard colors for people who haven’t grown up and demanded classy colors.
🤮🤮🤮
Like the " Brown".....Craving a Hershey Bar.
the infotainment system is already super outdated
I have a 2018 outback premium. I f'in hate the cvt trans and how absolutely gutless it is when it has not warmed up in particular. I have never driven a car that I have thought I was going to die in on a daily basis because it can't get out of its own way. It is a good highway cruiser though and nice and quiet. I put cross climate two tires on it and that improved my spirited driving a lot. That thing will go anywhere in the snow with those tires. I will literally go over the speed limit and drive faster than anybody else with confidence. Unfortunately I couldn't handle the gutless lack of power and ended up looking at faster cars. I bought a tesla model 3 but I still have the subaru as a 2nd car that literally gets driven about 20 miles a month. It's nice to know that no matter what the weather that I can get in the subaru and drive it anywhere that has a normal road. I might even trade it in for a new 2023 if there are cvt improvements and also get the turbo. But I would still only drive it a few hundred miles a year.
You "drive over the speed limit and go faster than anybody else with confidence" in a Subaru Outback that "has a gutless CVT" that "can't get out of its own way" ?????? Does this make sense to anyone out there who is reading this? Drive the 2020-2023 turbo Outback and then get back to us on your opinion. Are there "CVT improvements" since the 2018 model? Oh yeah. There are improvements. Man, there are improvements.
So I really don't think it's original I really do believe that while the Outback is so phenomenal they kind of stole that stole that idea from AMC Eagle when that vehicle was around after that vehicle was discontinued when Chrysler bought AMC and so the rest of that off that's when the Outback came out
WOW...TELL THE WORLD...HAND OVER THE REAR "BADGE" AND THE REAR OPENS. NEED TO MODIFY THAT CAN BE TURNED OFF VIA THE KEY HAVING A BUTTON . WHEN R3TURNING TO THE VEHICLE JUST PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN ON.
You have to have the key on you,,,,anybody can’t walk up and open it
Subaru needs to hire a designer preferably an European one to make their cars aesthetically pleasing. 2022 Legacy Limited XT and already ready to trade it in.
great suggestion.
