After discontinuing the #OutbackXT about 10 years ago, #Subaru is reviving the #XT name for 2020 and under the hood, you'll find the most powerful #turbocharged engine in the #Outback ever. Borrowed from the Ascent, this 2.4L boxer 4-cylinder offers up 260 HP and 277 lb-ft of torque in a car that is about 400 pounds lighter over the Ascent. Towing capacity improves to 3,500 pounds and fuel economy also gets a much needed boost over the old H-6 and 2008 Outback XT Limited to 23/30 MPG. Along with the new Subaru Global Platform, the 2020 Outback is the safest, stiffest, and most tech forward Outback the company has ever made. It should continue to be the best-selling model in the Subaru portfolio when it goes on sale in August 2019. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Morning guys! The format of this video is a bit different so here are some timestamps if you want to skip around to see a certain scene. This is also our very first video to include our new RPM Rating Scale at the end. Hope you guys enjoy and thanks for watching!
7:45 Exterior walk around of XT
10:58 Off-road driving in XT
13:50 Off-road driving montage
14:59 On-Road driving for XT
20:53 Conclusion and RPM Rating Scale
THIS IS GREAT!
Redline Reviews You did great with the “RPM Rating Scale” I definitely understand it so great driving review.
What SUV do you concider to be the best for starters?
Excellent review and rating system. I hope you continue to give an overview on pricing including the "as tested with options".
What about the auto stop/ start, was it obtrusive and is it fully defeated in the menu system, or does it reset each time, without a physical button that would be a pain if you didnt want it on.
7:40 is where he starts to show the XT
Thank you for that - you gave me 7 minutes of my life back!
Sofyan is awesome he was pushing that Subaru thru the corners and look like he caught up with everybody.
Just placed my order for the 2020 Outback Onyx edition XT yesterday. Comes mid to late October!
Thanks Sofyan for all your great and thorough reviews.
This model is more appealing than ever before Very good review
Your first RPM score! A very successful new milestone in a very successful career. Thanks for all you do.
I truly enjoy the way you describe the car. You are far one of the better car guys I will follow. Your voice and the way you deliver the information works really well. Thank you.
Thanks for the note about the XT using regular gas 😍🙌🏼
Just bought a 2022 Limited XT Outback after passing our 2019 Acura RDX to our son and family. Your videos from prior to our purchase of the RDX informed us well and played a part in our purchase back then. This video on the Outback is reassuring that we made a good purchase.
Keep up the good work with your car review videos!
I used to hate CVTs, but after having the last gen (2018) Outback as a rental for 3 weeks, I was pleasantly surprised by the Subaru's responsiveness and also fairly decent simulated shifts during moderate to high throttle. Compared to the Nissan rentals I usually end up with, the eagerness of the Subaru CVT was good enough to make me stop universally hating these transmissions. Even with the modest base engine, it was completely tolerable - So good that I'm confident any non car enthusiast would have no idea it isn't a regular automatic.
I agree, Subaru (and Honda I’d say as well) do an excellent job with their cvt’s. Nissan cvt’s sadly remain laggy gear hunters and they don’t even seem to care all that much.
Kevin Andrew Subaru, Honda, and Toyota actually make decent CVTs that behave nice enough to make people think they’re normal automatics. Every Nissan I’ve driven with a CVT has been pure trash. They’re rubber bandy, noisy, refuse to accelerate smoothly, and unrefined. I’ve come to the conclusion that Nissan is just bad at CVTs. They really ought to give up and go back to normal automatics because they can’t seem to get CVTs right.
@@97I30T Agree completely. It's extra ironic because Nissan was the first to widely adopt them, so you'd think they would have worked out all the kinks and "unnatural" responses by now. Instead, they've been left behind. Mitsu's is probably the only other bad one I've driven, but it's harder to give Nissan a pass because of how big of an automaker they are.
I'd agree with your comment as well. I've driven some early model Honda's with CVTs and wasn't a fan, but after driving a Forester recently I was pleasantly surprised. I'm currently in a Golf R atm (and the DSG is definitely a love/hate affair) and am certainly considering this as my next car.
I really dig that rating system! It's much more in depth than a simple 0-10 scale so I can tell a lot more about your impressions.
The first implementation of your new score system. I like it, keep it up!
Intros are getting better sofyan! Keep it up
The video footage between 13:49 and 14:55 is so well synched with the music and professional! ... nice! ... watched it a couple of times
GOOD review, Sofyan! Your reviews are interesting, useful, and wow, you sure can articulate & communicate a whole lotta information efficiently! Time to visit the Subaru dealer again... the wife wants to see one...
the dramatic music to start...EPIC!!
I like this Subaru, it´s the perfect car (or wagon) to take my family and me to weekend trips or daily use. It has enough room and comfort for us and our stuffs. Well done Subaru!
I would love for a crosstrek XT..
over me Got a 2019 Crosstrek Sport and can’t wait for the lease to end. Got a long list of stuff that i don’t like about it that will make me look somewhere else next time.
Can’t believe I got myself in leasing this dull and noisy, bad ventilation (passengers freeze their feets in the back seat) in winter small crossover. Piss poor ventilation design for winter 0c all the down to -20C as tout your back passengers will freeze their feet. If you put vent for the feet/windshield then your windows become foggy due to lack of air circulation. so you will end up with the air fan in high speed yet to much avail. On colder days -15C and below , heating is insufficient for even cold temperatures. After a highway ride of close to 25 minutes with an exterior temp of -22C/-33C with wind chill, heat was almost absent inside the cabin.
I knew that i was getting 140 HPs less than my previous vehicle with the Crosstrek but this engine is so noisy!!! You wake up the neighborhood when starting it at 5am , it’s even worst that it revs high for a long time (blue thermometer only turns off when CVT is warm which is never). After 10 minutes on the highway engine stills revs pretty high (way above 2.3K/RPMs) then it lowers into the 1.7K/RPM. CVT is sluggish and the car feels like it’s constipated or depleted of power when CVT is still cold.
OEM tires kills the mood on the car on the highway, as soon as i installed my winter tires interior noise when down more than a couple of decibels.
To resume: will never buy another subie in the future.
over me that would be awesome! Put some aggressive tires and Used to take mine up to jeep trails and desert trails and keep up as best I could 🤣
If they did it would be the quickest one for sure
You will enjoy the sport that offer now lool
I doubt they will offer a turbo for the Crosstrek, at least I'd be surprised, because that would cut into the sales of the WRX.
You’re the review King 👑
Great review!! I have a 2012 2.5 Outback 6-sp manual that I love. Wish I had that turbo engine. The XT is going to be my next outback
I'm more tripping about that scenery in the beginning of the video. That place is freakin beautiful.. with that majestic af Elk in the background
I own a 2016 STI and my wife drives a 2018 Outback. Really excited to drive the new XT model with the turbo, because going from my STI into her Outback takes some getting use to lol.
LOVE seeing that oil filter placed on top like that. Makes changing oil a clean and simple task.
me too although I do wonder if the oil drains out when the engine is off?
@@dmbassettI always use OEM Subie filters due to the higher bypass pressure rating - they have anti drain back valves, but that can also be a bit messy when changing the oil.
You still have to be under the car to drain the oil. Do Subaru owners not change their own oil?
@@brainrobinson does the valve hold the oil overnight? For days?
@@dngrdnr I have a Pelican vacuum pump too for marine use. It doesn't always get all the oil out when used on the cars plus you may be missing metal shavings or sludge evidence found by draining.
Great job Redline!
As an owner of 2016 Outback 3.6R, gotta say I really love the new interior design.
You should as we sat in the $40K OB 3.6R at the autoshow and was surprised on much injected mold flashing the door map pockets had for the price. It was like you see where Subaru stopped at the door handles.
I have a 2018 Limited 3.6R, and agree. More luxurious, better tech, still functional.
Do you have transmission problems? I heard that they arent reliable, but I want 1 so bad...
@@Redmaile25 Consumer Reports rated Subaru #1 for 2019 so, there's that.
@SlitWristMisfit Subaru is a developing country car at best. Like Mazda they would like to sell more of a luxury level but do not have brand cache to do so. They ratchet up.+$40K prices.
Great review, thank you
Can’t wait to get my 2020 Subaru sti.
I literally just saw a Green Onxy XT in Portland this morning, with a big badge on the side "The All New 2020 Subaru Outback", looks a lot like the last Gen, but a little grittier, can't wait for them to drop on dealers lots and in the driveway
I love the new RPM Rating Scale. Very well done! You'll hit a million subscribers by the end of the year!
loving RPM rating scale, keep it up man
great review - beautiful scenery!
I love that you're following an 01-04 Outback @ 19:09 lol
Great review, I really like your new rating system!
Subaru needs to return the forester XT
I had a Forester XT 2004. Ride quality, handling and acceleration were excellent. Car was made in Japan.
Maintained the car as per the service manual. Was never in any accident.
Had the following issues over the years:
- Alternator replaced 3 times
- A/C Condenser replaced
- Sun roof stopped working, had the dealership just lock it shut as the repair would cost CAD 1,000
- Driver side mirror stopped moving in horizontal directions
- Driver side power window mechanism needed to be replaced
- Intermittent water leakage from lift gate near the top, never resolved
- Driver side seat heating stopped working on high setting
- Trim on driver side A pillar fell and couldn't be reattached as the plastic pins were broken
- Passenger side window seemed to develop a small gap causing unbearable wind noise
- In 2018, turbo showed signs of imminent failure and check engine light indicated gas leakage traced to somewhere in the fuel filler pipe
Repair estimate for the last two items was CAD 4,000. So I just donated the car to charity. They sold it for scrap for CAD 300 in 2018. Total mileage was 250K Kms.
Give me a forester with the 2.4 liter turbo and a beefed transmission fluid cooler so you can tow and bomb hills with out burning up the transmission fluid. I won't be able to throw my money at Subaru fast enough.
With a stick.
Just got a blue 2020 Onyx XT in transit. As soon as it comes off the truck and the sales people stop freaking out it's mine! :-D This will be my 4th Outback!
Nice, I'm looking at an Onyx XT myself. The huge price spike from standard to turbo makes me wince but I think it would be worth it in the end.
@@hurpdurp916 I had an XT before; it's worth it
I personally appreciate the new RPM, overall review at the end. It was a great idea.
Simply amazing! Subaru, my favorite car maker
Dealerships will LOVE you!
"...70 percent of new Subaru vehicles are now the object of recalls or service campaigns within two years of being purchased, noting that the “permissible limit” should be around 10 percent."
www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2019/06/report-outlines-how-subaru-is-coping-with-quality-control-issues/
Nice work. I like the channel changes.
@16:58 more like dropping heavy loads. Love the current outback, so very glad to hear about the new engine as an option.
I Love The All New 2020 Subaru Outback. Nice Review Of 2020 Subaru Outback. 😁
I placed an order for the Subaru Outback Touring XP in White! Can't wait until I take delivery in October! Also, this is my first SUBIE!
Excellent choice my friend! I got my first Subie in Feb 2018 and I'll NEVER go back to anything else!
Awesome I am considering the same was going to buy 2019 Forester Sport but it lag a bit.
you are gonna love it... I have my very first 2017 legacy without turbo and I just became a big fan of SUBIE ! for me, it's the best reliable JAPANESE car producer... LOVE their intelligent AWD and their perfect Simplicity...
You will love it,
You're going to love it. That would be my everyday car, even if I won the lotto.
I just bought a 2017 Outback Premium 2.5L with 58k miles. You’re right about the stiffer ride on the newer model. I have a 2021 loaner and find it more car like handling. I prefer my 2017 since the ride is softer and great for long road trip!
I have a 2018 Touring with the 3.6R engine...love it. Wasn't going to get rid of it, and now with it being discontinued, probably never will. The power is immediate and the sound is loverly. This must be what getting old feels like, but I'm okay with it.
I love the front end on the 2019 outback but the rear in the 2020 looks much better
I’m still in a 01 and still rides like a champ but looking into getting a new one
Thanks for your reviews of the Outback. Just ordered an Onyx XT... :)
When are you doing a 2019/2020 Honda HRV Video!! All your videos are great!!
Prob never - the demand for that review would be >1% plus no one drives or buys them. And Honda really doesn't release that model as a press/media car.
I have always loved the Outback and they just keep getting better and better. I would get one in a heartbeat but with everything we put into a car for our trips, it is just too small. But it is a great car. I have a friend who is on his second one and it is hard to beat in its class...and maybe even plays a bit above its weight class.
Love driving my 03 Legacy wagon on that portion of CA 1 :)
It looks amazing. I love wagons. One day that might be on my driveway, although I am hoping for Subaru to come up with a minivan for Japanese market ;)
I like your new rating system. Are you going back to older reviews and rate them for comparison sake? keep up the good work.
I like the new rating a lot!
I like your way to rate it! REDLINE! Cool!
My mom has a 2019 with the 3.6 and I hate the CVT. Makes the engine feel like it’ll blow up any second
Its the everyday I need a vacation super hero!
I’m liking the oil filter location!!
yes some cars the engineers clearly never talked to a mechanic. Looking at you 2000 Impala, Absolutely fantastic road car. IMO for its time it was probably the best road trip car for a reasonable price. But some idiot thought the oil filter should be behind the passenger side wheel, You had to take the wheel off to remove the filter.
How has this channel not have a million subs yet ?! These are amazing reviews !
You should review the current WRX STi before there discontinued I’ve only seen your WRX video
Great review. Glad to hear the Turbo is a worthy successor to the 3.6R. Too bad we can’t get ventilated seats on other trims as an option, and as a city driver I would love to see a hybrid option.
same engine as the Subaru Ascent. Nice!
I placed an order for a 2020 Outback Limited XT. Will be trading in a2016 3.6R. Even without seeing one in person I could tell it would be a major upgrade. It is better equipped for almost the same price as the 2016.
I just wanna say a big thank you for doing this great review. Because of you and some of the car reviewers out there. Because today we added a all new 2020 Subaru Outback XT Onxy in the white pearl to our car family. And it's my moms new car the replacement to her old 2011 Toyota Venza that we sold two weeks ago.
Great all around car. Smart choice over a crossover
I really like the changes Subaru has made to the Outback. I have a 2016 2.5i and my biggest criticism is that the engine needs more grunt. Looking forward to testing the XT model, plus I like the Onyx addition which gives the Outback more visual pizzazz.
Lash195 you will love the turbo engine. Because 3 weeks ago we added the all new 2020 Subaru Outback XT Onyx edition in the pearl white. It’s my moms new car we sold her 2011 Toyota Venza a month ago.
I hope Suburb has improved their gear shifts I drove a 2015 suburb crosstrek and man it jerks u back when you try to switch gears and the lag when you try to accelerate was dangerously slow!
Glad to see turbo Outback, but Subaru needs to come out with a new turbo Forester. Shame they got rid of the Forester STI.
Shame that the Forester STI never reached the North American market.
You mean shame on them for getting rid of the XT model.
I'm with you on a turbo option for the Forester, not a fan of that slow base engine
People say they want the forester xt but that sold a lot less
@@ciello___8307 The problem is everybody wants the turbo, but, nobody was buying it, that's why no Forester turbo.
Yayyyyyy!! Ratings!!
You have actually improved Red line review! You show that no matter how great a product is it can be made better.Keep up the great job you and your crew.
Turbo is back for the Subaru!
The Touring XT will be my next car.
I'm honestly impressed here. If they market the new model right to get people's attention I think Subie will make a killing out of it. The pricing is pretty good. I expected it to be a lot higher for some reason.
16:12 the look on his face when he brake torqued the car lol
I’d love to see Subaru offer an Onyx edition Ascent. Knowing that a lower level Limited is $40k (still a good deal) an Onyx would be right around $37k which would be a tremendous value. We own a 2.5i 2013 Outback and thinking of something new next year.
Hey man you should be a singer ,you ramble on with the words explaining this and that . Your awesome man well done.
The vocabulary coming out of your mouth is so knowledgeable of what your portraying and makes it easy to understand what you are talking about.
The Subaru team are superb in what they put together top points there.
The big screen is the cherry in the cake ,I like the way it fits into the dashboard.
Well done everyone
I love your videos! Can you pass on the Subaru to add a full power seat to the passenger side in front as they continue to make modifications to future outback models? It would be nice if you could raise that up electronically.
Are you going to go back and score some of the vehicles you previously reviewed such as the Honda Passport so we can compare? Love the new scoring system! Maybe look at scoring everything you reviewed in 2019.
anyone else notice the giant ELK in the back at 0:54??? that thing is majestic!
Dude I noticed that to. Do you think they put that elk out their for marketing purposes
This outback in Turbo is faster than the Ascent du to weight difference. That Ascent is a heavy beast.
It looks good! Though I'm not the Outback type owner. I'll be curious for the Legacy.
CruiseDude Interstate5.0. Why legacy while the similar one is the Sti which is faster and more fun...
There’s talk for a legacy Xt in the near future just keep asking Subaru and they’ll look into it ;)
Glad they are going with a unified central console.
Thank you for *_60FPS_*
Hope they do a flashback Forester XT with a bonnet.
An excellent video, and thanks! My only real gripe is that comparisons keep being made between an Outback, or Subaru in general, and "a Jeep." That's not a comparison, and I get that he's referring to going offroad (even light-duty), but far better to compare to OTHER crossovers that this is marketed against: RAV 4, CR-V, etc. Otherwise, I'd just as easily say "it's not a Jeep: look at how much cheaper it is" or "Look how much better gas mileage it gets," or, "Look how it doesn't roll over and kill everyone inside in a collision..."
OMG when is this comming to Europe, I want it!
Please mention that the tires were not aired down to appropriate surfaces, thats OK to compare suspension (25, 20, 15 for mud rock or sand & smow)! Nice complete review! 👍 note it's also way cheaper than Jeeps! 😉
Activating X-mode (or any function) through the 73" tablet is gonna be a killer feature when these cars are 15 years old and none of the Buck Rogers stuff works. Nice move.
Agreed. I hate how everything interfaces through these touch screens. What the hell was wrong with mechanical switches, knobs, and buttons? I'm not looking forward to buying a car with any of this stuff in it. But one day I may have to.
Can't wait to get my hands on thisbeauty. Coming from a 2014 STI. This will be a perfect roadtrip/getaway car for the fam/
I'm just curious if you have considered the Telluride or palisade?
T I those are mommy cars
@@mostly_normal_man I don't know about getting a KIA/Hyundai. I'm a big fan of Subaru's AWD.
@@f181234 planning to lift my future mom car haha
Waiting on you to get your hands on the new Corvette
Now I know why Sofyan always wears sunglasses: to hide the disappointment in his eyes when the power isn't enough.
nice size screen
Hope that they come to Australia 🇦🇺 nice car.
I need to upgrade my 8th gen si and have been debating between crv and the new forester, but I think the onyx xt might be it! It’s getting tough taking my baby out of my two door 😬
Sofyen - very nice review, as usual. Looking very hard at ordering a '20 Limited XT. If you remember from your testing last July: what do you think of, 1) The Subaru infotainment system overall, and, 2) The Outback's Start/Stop system (I hear it's pretty rough).
Love me an outback man
I wish to see more Outback comparisons with other two row midsize SUVs. to me they are the same segment
Yes, this is a crossover and it a wagon.
Hi, If you live in the D.C. area, I'd enjoy learning more about your test drive of this car (whichever version you choose) as I live in Maryland, right on the D.C. border and am interested in learning more about Subaru Outbacks and how to learn to drive them with all their great features.
I wish Subaru still did a manual gearbox. The 5 speed dual range box was great.
Thalass That's why you buy a WRX/STi
@@12dbortle can't make a battlewagon out of a rex haha
Great video as always!
Anybody know where this road is exactly?
GOOD Review, Just want let you know that Sony action cam has features call # voice active start and stop recording and you don't have to bring a passager with you every time to do the start and stop job :)
Hey Sofyan when are you going to review the Lincoln Aviator?
Holy shit man, take a breath! It's just solid words!
