Expert Reviews

Expert reviews:

Pros
Refined and silky inline-six,
punchy acceleration,
modern and high-budget interior.

Cons
Opting for the coupe version costs $4150 and reduces practicality,
optional extras can bring the total to more than six figures,
BMW offers a twin-turbo V-8 at this price point.

By:

caranddriver.com

Fully redesigned for 2021.AMG GLE 53 makes 429 hp from a turbo inline six-cylinder.AMG GLE 63 S cranks out 603 hp from a twin-turbo V8.EQ Boost adds up to 21 hp and 184 lb-ft.

Pros
Premium-feeling well-trimmed interior
Many standard safety and technology features
Effortless acceleration from either engine

Cons
Roofline compromises backseat headroom
Cargo space is similar to a compact SUV's
Only two trim levels available
On-road performance abilities limit off-road capability

By:

edmunds.com

Pros
Super smooth inline-six
Stunning interior
Capable handling
Good list of standard options
Improved styling over previous generation

Cons
It can get expensive when you add options
Limited practicality compared to GLE SUV
Fuel consumption suffers under hard driving

By:

carbuzz.com

The 2021 Subaru Outback hangs on to its remarkably rugged stance as it grows more refined than ever.

Pros
Capable as ever
Big 11.6-inch touchscreen
A roomy interior
Excellent safety record
Rides very well

Cons
Careful styling
Moderate acceleration from base engine
Needs more small-item storage

By:

thecarconnection.com

The 2021 Subaru Outback comes with a 3 yr./ 36000 mi. basic warranty, a 3 yr./ 36000 mi. roadside warranty, and a 5 yr./ 60000 mi. powertrain warranty.Adaptive LED headlights now standard on all trims.Seat-belt reminder standard for all passengers.Reminder to check rear seat added as standard safety feature.

Pros
Spacious cabin and smooth, comfortable ride
Optional turbocharged engine provides plenty of power
Loading the roof or cargo area is easier than in most SUVs
Above-average off-road ability

Cons
Big touchscreen is slow to respond and buries many controls in complicated menus
Slow acceleration from standard engine
Native voice recognition system isn't very accurate

By:

edmunds.com

The Outback was redesigned from the ground up for the 2020 model year, so for 2021 Subaru has made only three minor changes: Adaptive headlamps, a rear-seat reminder system, and a passenger's seatbelt warning light and chime are now standard across the lineup.

Pros
Ground clearance helps off-road or in snow,
spacious cabin,
tons of available tech.

Cons
Unhurried acceleration,
ho-hum driving dynamics,
indistinct exterior styling.
