About the Subaru Outback BT
The sixth-generation Subaru Outback (BT) continues the model's legacy as a robust alternative to traditional SUVs, blending estate car practicality with genuine off-road capability. Built on the Subaru Global Platform, it offers significantly improved structural rigidity and a more refined ride compared to its predecessor. The Touring trim represents the luxury-oriented flagship of the naturally aspirated range, featuring Nappa leather upholstery and a comprehensive suite of EyeSight driver assistance technologies. While the CVT transmission prioritises efficiency, the symmetrical all-wheel-drive system and 213mm of ground clearance ensure it remains a favourite for those in rural climates.
