2023 Subaru Outback AWD Sport XT 6GEN MY23 AWD

This 2023 Subaru Outback Sport XT combines the long-distance practicality of a family SUV with the stronger performance and additional capability of Subaru's turbocharged powertrain. With 55,418 kilometres recorded, it is specified with a 2.4-litre turbocharged boxer engine producing 183kW and 350Nm, paired with a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission. An eight-speed manual mode with steering-wheel paddle shifters provides stepped ratios when a more involved driving response is useful.

Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel-drive system is central to the Outback's appeal. It continuously distributes drive to all four wheels and is supported here by dual-mode X-MODE, with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings designed to help manage traction at low speeds. The 213mm ground clearance gives the wagon-inspired SUV useful separation from uneven surfaces, while the listed 2,400kg braked towing capacity adds flexibility for hauling a substantial trailer or recreational equipment.

The Sport XT's cabin is designed around everyday usability as much as outright performance. A vertically oriented 11.6-inch touchscreen brings together navigation, climate controls and vehicle settings, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto reduce cable clutter for compatible phones. A wireless charging pad adds further convenience. The water-repellent seat upholstery, green stitching and practical presentation suit a vehicle intended to accommodate active use, and the hands-free power tailgate can be opened when both hands are occupied with luggage or equipment.

Exterior details give this Outback a more distinctive character than the standard model. Dark metallic 18-inch alloy wheels, black grille inserts and black door mirrors complement the Sport XT treatment, while integrated roof rails include tie-down points for carrying additional gear. These features preserve the Outback's versatile touring focus without relying solely on a large cargo area.

Driver assistance is supplied through Subaru's fourth-generation EyeSight system, which uses wider-view stereoscopic cameras and a wide-angle monocular camera to improve monitoring around intersections and vulnerable road users. Autonomous emergency steering works with autonomous emergency braking when braking alone may not be sufficient, while the infrared facial-recognition monitor can identify signs of driver distraction or drowsiness and load stored seat and mirror profiles.
