Interior Features of the New 2021 Subaru Outback
The Outback interior is equipped with an 11.6-inch touchscreen that is vertically placed and works without flaws. The touchscreen is compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In terms of design, we cannot conclude that the interior is appealing, although the materials used are reliable and of exceptional quality. The dashboard, door panels, and base trims are stitched together using leather. With large rear doors and reclining seatbacks, the back end seat offers relaxing long-distance space for about six-footers.
The new Outback's cargo space is voluminous, with 32.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. With the available Power Rear Gate, the loading of cargo is more effortless than before. The rear seats can be folded down to create an extra 75.7 cubic feet of cargo volume so you can transport more loads.
Engine Performance and Fuel Economy
The 2021 Subaru Outback comes with a standard 2. 5 liters four-cylinder engine that releases 183 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. The amount is a bit lower compared to other compact crossovers. The gas mileage for the new Outback is impressive, with 33 mpg on the highway and 26 mpg across the city. The upgraded engine is marked with the name XT and is present on Touring, Onyx edition, and Limited trims. The machine is turbocharged with a 2.4-liter boxer that yields 260 horsepower and 277 lbs, an incredible output.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IISH), the 2021 Subaru Outback is among the top safety vehicle. Each model of the Outback comes standard with the driver assistance technology. Some of the Outback's vital safety features include adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping assists, standard forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear-cross traffic alert.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The base outback features two stacked 7.0-inch touchscreens; however, all other models have a large 11.6 inch vertically placed touchscreen. The touch screen is equipped with a tuning knob, rotary volume, and other buttons for climate settings that make them simple to use. Additional features such as Wi-Fi Hotspot, built-in navigation, an optional wireless charging device, and Android Auto /Apple Carplay systems, which are standard, are all available.
