The 2018 is not all-new. It is a mid cycle refresh of the 2015 redesign and that even had a lot of carry over from the design prior to it. This has new infotainment and a new front end and those are the major changes from the 2017 model. The Outback/Legacy platform will be redesigned for the 2020 MY and it is almost assured the H6 is going away and getting replaced with the direct injected turbo 4 introduced in the much bigger Ascent.
TOTO Cult The 3.6L H6 has one more year in the US with the 2019 legacy/outback getting it (maybe) and then it's going to be gone and replaced with a turbo 4 introduced in the bigger Subaru Ascent. The H6 is underpowered for its displacement and bad on gas. My 2015 3.6 would average about 20-21mpg mixed and that just doesn't cut it anymore. It was smooth and sounded like a Porsche though.
Didn't cover the eyesight safety features at all. Adaptive Cruise Control, Frontal Collision Mitigation, Lane Keep Assist and Departure Warning. That stuff is huge.
why Subaru didn't put this engine to ascent..?? smh.. can someone explain this to me. yes i understand its for better fuel economy.. but still, ascent is twice as big and needs more power than 4 cyl, turbo. i feel i got ripoff.
What no one ever comment on is the suspension. That is the reason why you buy Subaru. There is no car in the planet that handles like Subaru. That that SUV to hit some corners and you’d see what I’m talking about. It’s the perfect ratio of Stability/Confort.
I have a 2019 Outback limited and I love it. Great in the snow, it is a very nice looking car, and I have the 4 cylinder engine and it is by no means sluggish. The car moves when you hit the gas. Contrary to what many say about the 4 cylinder.
I just bought on and I am soooooo in love with it!
how much is it?
Chris Rubia I got a great deal on a touring model 2017 for around 30k after my companies discount. It’s fully equipped and I love it!!
Wow that's amazing your lucky
Assuming the 4 cylinder 2.5i not the 3.6 correct?
This is the best review I have seen, thank you.
i have 2 weeks in my new 2018 Touring love it,they fixed all the little things my 2016 needed they are really special
Great video. So sold and not driven one yet. We are shopping and this is top of my short list.

Those turbo engines suck I’d rather have the 3.6
Great instructional video. Thanks!
This engine should be an option on the Impreza hatchback sport and Crosstrek. Come on Subaru!!!

Christina Kendrick cool
1:47 except two heads, double the camshafts etc etc lol. I love my Subaru but I think the part count is higher in a boxer vs a straight four
Nice videos. Our crosstrek 2018 will be here within the next few weeks
Great vid how can 8 ppl dislike this?..

Great review. I'm in for one in October 2018!
So glad they went with those low profile slimmer roof rack. The old blocks are so ugly.
Only on very few trim levels, pretty much all of them you see on the road will have those super ugly plastic crap
Like memory seats, but mirrors are not memory. Toyota and Honda offers this.

I love my 2018 Subaru Outback Touring 3.6R . Can I get a dealer installed wireless charging port ?
Why does it have paddles? Isn't it a cvt
Not a full size spare tire
does NOT have full size spare tire!!!!
Got to get one, who is selling one to me...?
very nice one question is the rear camera active does the lines bend to show you turn radius
cliffordb47 The lines did bend in my test drive, showing trajectory. I’m almost ready to decide on this vehicle.
cliffordb47 Yes.
