Subaru Outback
The Outback has been a successful nameplate in North America for 30 years, combining a comfortable ride and spacious interior with a solid AWD system and SUV-like off-road capability. The Wilderness model proves even more adventurous with a raised suspension, all-terrain tires, skid plates and more. The 2.5-litre flat-four engine is available in naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants producing 182 horsepower and 260 horsepower, respectively. All Outback models rely on a CVT.
