While part of the midsize crossover class today, the Subaru Outback started out as a wagon, thus providing the best of both worlds. It offers the space and versatility of an SUV with the comfort and car-like drivability of its long-roof predecessor. Additionally, with attributes like standard all-wheel drive, Subaru X-MODE® traction management, and tall ground clearance, the Outback is well-equipped for outdoor adventures, particularly in its Wilderness trim. The 2025 Subaru Outback is available for sale or lease here at West Houston Subaru. Here's a quick rundown of some of the highlights.
Performance
Subaru Outback's standard powertrain is a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® four-cylinder engine with 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. The automaker's Lineartronic® CVT optimizes responsiveness and efficiency, while standard Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive and X-MODE® traction management ensure confident handling and control in various conditions. Are you seeking something more potent to propel your Katy commute? Outback XT and Wilderness variants upgrade to a 2.4-liter turbo-four engine, increasing output to 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque.
Subaru Outback Wilderness
While all Subaru Outback trims can take you beyond the asphalt, the Wilderness variant is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts seeking to maximize their off-road prospects. Exclusive attributes include unique suspension tuning, increased ground clearance (from 8.7 to 9.5 inches), and a revised final drive ratio for easier climbing. It also has Yokohama GEOLANDAR® all-terrain tires, a dual-function X-MODE® system, and a 180-degree front-facing camera for better visibility on tight trails. Plus, the reinforced roof rails can carry 200 pounds while moving and up to 700 pounds while stationary, making them well-suited for a rooftop tent.
Interior and Versatility
The Subaru Outback's cabin is open and accommodating, with modern interior design details, an intuitive control layout, and seats that provide long-distance comfort. There's generous room for both front and rear passengers, with 32.6 cubic feet to spare for your gear or groceries. When your Houston-area adventures require more storage, you can fold the rear seats, expanding the cargo area to 75.6 cubic feet.
Numerous amenities are available to improve convenience and comfort. Depending on the trim level or package, you can upgrade your daily drives with features like:
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- StarTex™ leatherette or Nappa leather upholstery
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Heated rear outboard seats
- Driver-position memory settings

Infotainment and Safety Technology
The Subaru Outback provides convenient and intuitive smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 7-inch touchscreen comes standard on the base trim, while all higher tiers upgrade to an 11.6-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. A Harman Kardon premium audio system is also available to enhance your road trip soundtracks.
The Subaru Outback demonstrates the automaker's renowned commitment to safety, supporting your attentive driving with a comprehensive roster of advanced driver aids, including standard Subaru EyeSight® technologies like:
