Subaru unveiled the refreshed 2023 Outback during the 2022 New York International Auto Show, and we couldn?t be more surprised. We?re used to the car-like aesthetics of the Outback, but the new variant begs to differ. It now has a more rugged, SUV-like countenance resembling the Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X, with an aggressive front bumper cover that stretches under the revised headlight clusters. We?re still not sold on the looks, but the 2023 Subaru Outback is the most outdoorsy version of the globally-adored station wagon.

2023 Subaru Outback: What?s New"

Apart from its truck-like mug, the 2023 Subaru Outback gets a bolder front grille, new fog lights, and beefy wheel arch claddings to complete the trail-ready vibe. If you don?t like the looks, the new-for-2022 Outback Wilderness will carry over minus the exterior updates. New for 2023 is the availability of Subaru?s naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter Boxer four in the Outback Onyx Edition trim, previously offered exclusively with the turbocharged 2.4-liter Boxer four in the outgoing Outback Onyx Edition XT.
Other goodies for the new Onyx Edition include 18-inch alloy wheels, a gray two-tone exterior, a front view monitor, water-repellent StarTex seats, dual X-Mode off-road driving modes, and a full-size spare tire.

Subaru has yet to unveil the official spec sheet, but all models have power door locks, welcome lighting, a sound-insulated windshield, front and rear USB A ports, two 12-volt DC power sockets...
