Like a crossover SUV, but better
No shortage of safety gear
Spacious, refined interior

Better off-road than many SUVs

Cons
6-cylinder engine guzzles fuel…

The 2019 Subaru Outback is both wagon and SUV. It has the profile of a wagon, yet its traction-enhancing all-wheel-drive system and extra ground clearance make it more capable off-road than most other SUVs.

Pros
Smooth ride,
intuitive infotainment setup,
surprisingly spacious cabin.

Cons
Not as fuel efficient as key rivals,
lacks standard safety tech,
just plain slow.
