A few years ago, I had the opportunity to take a 5th Gen Outback on a week-long road trip and I fell in love with it. The stability, comfort, and safety features made it a joy to drive and I told myself I would definitely have to consider an Outback when getting my next car.

Fast forward a few years and the 6th Gen Outback arrived. With so many improvements like the new platform, an upgraded EyeSight system, Nappa leather interior, and many more, I just knew I had to get it.

The drive is so smooth, quiet, and comfortable that it doesn't feel like any other Subaru I've driven before. The Outback is quick to respond and accelerates effortlessly, especially when in Sport mode, considering it weighs about 1.7 tonnes. The fuel consumption is admirable, ranging between 12 to 14 km/L (I drive mostly along Upper Thomson Road and Lornie Road), considering its weight and 2.5-litre engine. The Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, Subaru Global Platform, and horizontal layout of the Boxer Engine give the Outback its ability to tackle corners comfortably. The upgraded EyeSight system is extremely useful, especially after a long day. All I have to do is set the Adaptive Cruise Control and turn on the steering assist and the Outback almost drives itself home.

Subaru really stepped up their game with the Outback and I'm really glad I made the decision to get one.

In short, the Outback is simply...Outstanding.

Review
Have to admit that the Subaru Outback has pretty much flew under the radar for me. I've only noticed it after watching the review of it by sgCarMart.

The Outback's design is a bit boring, pretty much a typical SUV with plastic panels to make it look more off-road worthy. That said, with Subaru's all wheel drive, I'm quite certain that the Outback will be able to handle some degree of offroading - not that it's important in Singapore though.

Inside, the Outback is rather plain, but quality can really be seen from how the bit and pieces fit together, and the texture of the interior trim pieces when you touch them.

Driving, it is surprisingly easy to drive, and noise level is better than acceptable. The engine, being an NA one, feels quite lacking in power, even when you mash the throttle, it doesn't go anywhere near as quick as you would expect from a 2.5 litre engine.

What I like
The comfortable interior, ride and minimal noise is enjoyable. The overall quality of the Outback seems to be better than most of its peers.

Despite its size, the Outback is easy and nice to drive.

What I do not like
The Outback is substantially more expensive than the Forester, which offers much more value, albeit with a marginally lower equipment level.

If the Outback had a turbocharged engine, and cost $10,000 lower, it will likely be a much more attractive offering.

Review
Really great alternative to your regular SUV. You get a car that is still tall for easy entry and exit, and it still has loads of room for everyone, but looks more like a jacked-up estate.

What I like
Loaded with tech. The Subaru Eyesight system works well to warn you of cars, pedestrians, etc on the road if you miss them. Very nice cabin as well, feels solid, not too flash like in the luxury cars you can get in this price. So much space for everyone.

What I do not like
Doesn't look very different from the old model.

Review
If you're looking for something different than the usual crop of SUVs from Subaru, this Outback will just be it. Basically a raised estate but with loads of equipment.

What I like
Decent power, as well as the fact that the Outback is loaded with lux items such as leather seats and Subaru's latest Eyesight safety features. The Harmon Kardon Speakers is way better than the standard items inside the Forester.

What I do not like
Watch out for fuel consumption.

Review
If you're looking for something that will keep you safe on the road, this is it. Eyesight system works great: The car keep within lanes no problem so you can just relax on the highway, and yoou even get automatic braking when pedestrians run across the road.

What I like
Driver Monitoring System works flawlessly as long as you take off your mask (obviously!). Crazy amount of space inside for wife and kids. Really distinctive bodyshape. Speaker system is way better than the one in the normal Forester.

Review
Outback is indeed a very special car that looks very different on our roads.

But one thing that has improved is their interior. A very expensive feeling car inside. The Eyesight system is also very intuitive. So far, one of the best assist systems I've come across.

Low NVH, comfortable, but it feels underpowered.

What I like
-High quality interior
-Refined and quiet drive
-Eyesight system is one of the best

What I do not like
-Underpowered

Review
In search of a replacement for a sedan, I had decided on either a SUV, Crossover or a wagon. At about the same price point of about 160K there are quite some options amongst the SUV and Crossovers but few wagons. The German and Swedish ones are beyond the budget. However the Outback was in the range, I had test it when it first came out some 5 or 6 years in this iteration and found it quite a decent option but the look was not there. It has a rugged exterior but the latest model though longer and wider don't look very different form ots predecessor. However the interior is very nice with Nappa leather and a Volvo like vertical screen that was large and friendly to use. The drive is comfortable and being 4 wheel drive and steer, Subaru handling is never in question. Comfort levels are good but engine noise filters in. It will be an easy car to live with and those who own one grow to appreciate its virtues, so few in used market. The eyesight tech offers good safety but did not have the chance to test that! Overall a very good car but unfortunately it's look doesnt take your breathe away!

What I like
Interior is very upmarket for the price point. Safety is excellent and drive is overall satisfying and easy to live with.

What I do not like
Same look. If Subaru designers were aliitle more imaginative!

Review
Always thought the older outback was quite cool, was basically a jacked up version of the legacy with a flat-6 NA engine. Very unique car.

New car is a big step up. Went for a test drive and i am impressed by the refinement and cabin materials. Very relaxing drive with very little noise and vibration. Overall is a nice drive.

Only thing is that is not so powerful compared to many turbo competitors these days, even tho the outback never had turbo back then either. Fuel economy also but it is expected from Subaru car. Drive it normally, with normal throttle input is ok.

What I like
-refined
-looks special compared to the usual suvs today
-high quality cabin compared to other japanese competitor

What I do not like
-feels a bit underpowered
-no turbo
-fuel economy

Review
On first look, I thought this would be a 7-seater SUV considering its size, being larger than the Subaru Forester. It turns out the Outback is a 5-seater with plenty of space! Although the interior isn't as good looking as other conti cars, it is still one of the nicer ones compared to most Japanese cars.

What I like
Very comfortable ride, well insulated and comes with many features. Tried out the EyeSight adaptive cruise control, it is pretty amazing, the car can steer itself and maintain a safe distance from the car in front on the highway.

What I do not like
Even though it has a big 2.5 litre engine, it is not very powerful. Had to step quite alot of the accelerator when moving off traffic light to not end up being the last.

Abit expensive compared to the Forester.
