2017 Subaru Outback Used Price Estimates

There are vehicles roughly in the same ballpark as the 2017 Subaru Outback, but nothing plays the same position. The Outback is a midsize wagon with standard all-wheel drive and about the same ground clearance as a Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's definitely an alternative choice but also checks so many practical boxes that it's a must-drive for anyone looking for a reasonably priced crossover SUV.

The Outback has the interior space of midsize models such as the Ford Edge and Kia Sorento, but its lower roof makes it easier to load gear, and its higher ground clearance gets it over rocks and through deep snow without a snag. The Outback holds similar advantages over smaller SUVs including the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Subaru's own Forester, with the further benefit of greater comfort and refinement. And with fuel economy rated at 28 mpg combined (with the four-cylinder) and 22 mpg combined (six-cylinder), the Outback offers good efficiency for its size and purpose. If you like wagons, the 2017 Outback offers a just-right mix of attributes that could make your vehicle search a one-stop affair.

Notably, we picked the Subaru Outback as one of ' Best Used SUVs for 2017.

The 2017 Subaru Outback is a five-passenger wagon that comes in six trim levels: 2.5i, 2.5i Premium, 2.5i Limited, 2.5i Touring, 3.6R Limited and 3.6R Touring. The base model covers the essentials (roof rails, Bluetooth), while Premium and Limited trims include conveniences such as heated seats, leather and satellite radio. Touring trims are fully loaded, and 3.6R models have similar equipment but add a more powerful six-cylinder engine.

The base 2.5i starts with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (175 horsepower, 174 pound-feet of torque) and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that feeds power to all four wheels. Standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels, hill descent control, hill holding assist, automatic headlights, a rearview camera, roof rails (with integrated cross bars), air-conditioning, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a height-adjustable driver seat, a 60/40-split folding rear seat, Bluetooth connectivity, Subaru's Starlink 6.2-inch touchscreen interface, and a four-speaker sound system with a CD player, an auxiliary audio jack, a USB-iPod interface and various smartphone-integration apps.

The 2.5i Premium adds rear privacy glass, heated exterior mirrors, a windshield wiper de-icer, foglights, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an eight-way power driver seat (with two-way power lumbar adjustment), heated front seats, a cargo cover, a bigger 7-inch touchscreen, voice controls, Bluetooth text messaging connectivity, satellite radio, an additional USB port and a six-speaker sound system. The Power Moonroof package adds the obvious plus an auto-dimming rearview mirror. A power liftgate with memory height is also optional.

The 2.5i Limited bundles the Premium options plus 18-inch wheels, a blind-spot monitoring system, rear cross-traffic alert, a front bumper underguard, keyless ignition and entry, leather upholstery, driver-seat memory functions, a four-way power passenger seat, rear air vents, heated rear seats and a 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. Xenon headlights are optional on the 2.5i Limited.

The 3.6R Limited gets the xenon headlights as standard equipment and a more powerful engine, but it is otherwise the same as the 2.5i Limited.

The Premium and Limited trims can be upgraded with a navigation system as well as the Driver Assist Technology package that includes the EyeSight system, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, steering-responsive foglights and upgraded gauges. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are included in the Premium version of that package.

The 2.5i Touring and 3.6R Touring trims include the standard features and options from the Premium and Limited trims, as well as the Driver Assist Technology package. Touring models also have different 18-inch wheels, dark exterior trim, fixed low-profile roof rails without crossbars, simulated-leather extended interior trim, upgraded leather upholstery and a heated steering wheel.

While the 2017 Subaru Outback Touring is loaded with every option, adding special leather and model-specific exterior trim to appeal to luxury buyers, one thing remains true: Regardless of model, the Subaru Outback can handle just about anything. Sure, there's the quiet cabin, car-like driving characteristics thanks to sharing its underpinnings with the Legacy sedan, and a comfortable around-town and highway ride. But when the roads turn nasty, the Outback keeps going. The standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder is no powerhouse, but it's plenty adequate for the task, and it offers very good fuel economy. The 6-cylinder has more power, but not quite as much as you might think, and it's only available on more expensive models. The real hero is the standard all-wheel-drive system, which uses Active Torque Vectoring to enhance traction at higher speeds by automatically routing power for better stability, and X-Mode and Hill Descent Control to bolster off-road ability.

X-MODEX-Mode is a standard feature of all Outback models. It's designed to help this crossover SUV maintain its composure even under difficult off-road circumstances. On top of that, it includes Hill Descent Control, which takes over braking duties during steep descents.PIVOTING ROOF CROSSBARThe Subaru Outback makes exceptionally clever use of its roof rails. Normally, they're lengthwise with the car, but when you need crossbars to actually carry something on the roof, the rails pivot outward, snapping into place on the other side. They even adjust fore and aft.

Part of the new 2017 Outback Touring's upgrades is new Java Brown perforated leather upholstery, with contrasting ivory stitching. It also includes a unique woodgrain and piano-black interior trim. Otherwise, the interior is very similar to the Legacy sedan’s, no bad thing, as the clean and functional layout benefits from good ergonomics and the latest touch-screen infotainment system's design. All seating positions are comfortable, but we especially like the roomy, reclining rear seat. There's plenty of cargo space in this crossover SUV, of course, and that goes double with the seats folded. It's also notably quiet inside, whether accelerating or cruising.

The Outback Touring for 2017 adds some visual flair to what is already a solidly handsome crossover SUV. There's a unique-to-the-model Brilliant Brown color that looks good, even though "brilliant" is an odd adjective for brown. We also like the silver finish on the roof rails. But it's all frosting on an already tasty cake. We like the shape of the Outback, which looks purposeful and stylish, one of those cars that still looks classy when it's caked in mud. The rugged lower body cladding and round fog lights would be passé on another car, but here they're signature styling elements.

All 2017 Outback models come with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and all-wheel drive with X-Mode and hill-descent control. Other features include standard grille shutters, which close at highway speeds to improve fuel economy. Inside, you'll find the usual things like power windows, door locks and mirrors, cruise control and air conditioning. The standard infotainment system uses a 6.2-inch touch screen, and includes compatibility with iHeart Radio, Aha and Pandora, and of course also comes with USB and Bluetooth inputs. Safety features include a standard rearview camera, and airbags under the seat cushions to prevent submarining in a crash.

Chief among options for the Subaru Outback are the company's EyeSight system, which uses cameras to add adaptive cruise control; lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, pre-collision braking and even steering-responsive fog lights on some models. Available for the first time are Reverse Automatic Braking and automatic high beams, available on Sport models as part of the EyeSight system. The available power liftgate has a programmable maximum height, and there's a voice-activated navigation system with a larger and sharp 7-inch screen. Also available is a leather interior trimmed with classy-looking faux wood on Limited models, along with an upgraded harman/kardon audio system.

Subarus use an engine configuration known as a "boxer," where the pistons are parallel to the ground; imagine a "V-type” engine, then widen the V until you've made it into a flat line, and you have the layout of the Subaru engines. This layout lowers the center of gravity, which aids handling. There are two engines available. The 2.5-liter standard 4-cylinder offers up 175 horsepower, while the 6-cylinder version has a much more robust 256 horsepower. However, while the 6-cylinder is definitely quicker than the 4-cylinder version, neither is what we'd call quick. Both send power through a continuously variable automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is standard. The all-wheel drive system includes X-Mode for low-speed traction, and Active Torque Vectoring for high-speed stability in corners. 2.5-liter boxer-4 175 horsepower @ 5,800 rpm 174 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 25/32 mpg 3.6-liter flat-6 256 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm 247 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/27 mpgNote: Due to changes in EPA testing to more effectively reflect real-world conditions, some 2017 models show slightly lower fuel-economy scores than their 2016 versions.

The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) on an Outback 2.5i is about $ 26,500. For the Premium model you'll pay about $ 28,500, and the Limited starts around $ 33,200. The new Touring model starts a little below the $ 37,000 mark, and that's with the 4-cylinder. If you want the 6-cylinder engine, you'll add about $ 3,000 to the price of an Outback Limited or Touring, the only models where the 6-cylinder is available. Note that while the 4-cylinder Outback is decently priced, its 6-cylinder models are notably higher than competitors like the Ford Edge and Chevy Equinox, both of which offer V6 models for less than $ 30,000; maybe a 6-cylinder Premium model priced closer to $ 30,000 could broaden the Outback SUV-wagon's appeal. Subaru Outbacks usually hold their value better than average for the class. Before buying, be sure to check the Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying.
