The Outback appeals to drivers seeking versatility including a spacious interior and generous cargo space. As always, Subaru’s excellent all-wheel drive system is another top reason to choose this Japanese midsize crossover/wagon. For serious off-road capability, consider the rugged and adventurous Outback Wilderness. Base models rely on a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre engine, but the more pleasant performer is definitely the turbocharged 2.4-litre mill.
