Today on Savagegeese, we delve into the 2025 Subaru Outback XT, a car that promises practicality and functionality in a quirky package. With its turbocharged engine, this Outback aims to offer a driving experience that goes beyond the ordinary. The exterior design may not be conventionally beautiful, but it caters to a loyal customer base seeking adventure and off-road capabilities. The high ride height and rugged cladding hint at the Outback's potential to dominate trails and rough terrains, setting it apart from typical crossovers and SUVs in its segment.
Inside, the Outback impresses with its spacious second row, comfortable seating, and ample cargo space, making it ideal for families and outdoor enthusiasts. While the materials and controls are well-executed, criticisms arise regarding the laggy Starlink infotainment system and the overpowering bass in the audio setup. Jack breaks down the pricing and configurations, emphasizing the turbocharged engine's performance, symmetrical all-wheel drive, and various trim levels available. The Outback XT shines on the road, offering quick acceleration, refined handling, and a responsive all-wheel drive system that instills confidence in various driving conditions.
Compared to its competitors, the Outback XT stands out for its comfortable ride and well-tuned drivetrain, providing a compelling option in its price range. Despite some interior shortcomings, such as the infotainment system's usability issues, the Outback XT delivers a balanced and enjoyable driving experience that surpasses expectations. As the team looks forward to Subaru's future developments, the Outback XT sets a promising precedent for the brand's evolution in the competitive automotive landscape.
