Used 2024 Subaru Outback for Sale nearEdmonton, AB

How much does the 2024 Subaru Outback cost?

Prices have softened 13.91% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 306 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of choice in the used market.

Is the 2024 Subaru Outback a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Subaru Outback earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating, which supports its reputation as a practical, confidence-inspiring choice. The model scores 9/10 across Cost effectiveness and Safety.

Its raised wagon shape gives you a more distinctive alternative to a conventional crossover, while the higher ride height and excellent visibility make it feel reassuring in everyday driving. The broad trim range also means you can choose a more affordable version or move up to a more upscale one without leaving the model line.

The main trade-offs are the underwhelming base engine and the dated infotainment system. If you want the strongest overall package, the turbocharged versions address the power shortfall better than the base setup.

With 34.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some room to shop carefully.

Is the 2024 Subaru Outback reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2024 Outback’s appeal is reinforced by its standard all-wheel drive, comfortable ride, and strong safety reputation. The expert evaluation also points to a well-rounded ownership experience, especially if you value everyday usability over flashier design.

Its powertrain lineup is straightforward, with the base 2.5-litre engine and the stronger turbocharged 2.4-litre option, and the turbo version is described as a better fit for the vehicle’s weight. That suggests the model is engineered to handle daily use confidently, especially when you choose the more capable engine.

If you buy used, the biggest long-term ownership risk is ending up with a base-engine example that feels less satisfying than the rest of the package.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Subaru Outback?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Convenience and Touring use cloth seats, while Onyx and Wilderness get StarTex synthetic leather and the Limited trims use standard leather seating surfaces. The Premier XT adds the most chrome, a larger infotainment screen, and a more upscale cabin feel, while the Wilderness gets its own exterior tweaks and rugged hardware.
• Powertrain: The base 2.5-litre flat-four makes 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque, while XT trims and the Wilderness use a 2.4-litre turbocharged boxer four-cylinder with 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. The turbo engine is the better match if you want stronger acceleration and more towing capability.
• Safety package: The EyeSight suite is standard and includes adaptive cruise control with lane-centring, automatic pre-collision braking, and lane-keep assist. Blind-spot monitoring with lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency steering start with Touring, while the Limited trims add a driver-attention monitor and the Premier XT gets a digital rearview mirror.
• Infotainment: The Convenience trim keeps the dual-7-inch-screen setup, while other trims get the larger 11.6-inch portrait-oriented screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, wireless connectivity starts with Touring, and nearly every trim gets a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The base engine is rated at 9.2 L/100 km city, 7.3 highway, and 8.3 combined. The turbo engine is rated at 10.6 city, 8.1 highway, and 9.5 combined, while the Wilderness is rated at 11.0 city, 9.0 highway, and 10.1 combined.

Which 2024 Subaru Outback trim should I buy?

The 2024 Subaru Outback is offered in 7 trim levels: Convenience, Touring, Onyx, Limited, Wilderness, Limited XT, and Premier XT.

Here's the short version:

• Convenience: This is the most affordable way into the Outback, but it also keeps the simpler dual-7-inch infotainment setup and the four-speaker audio system. It makes sense if you want the Outback shape and standard AWD without paying for extras.
• Touring: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus the safety upgrades that begin here. If you want the most useful mix of comfort and equipment, this is the trim to target.
• Onyx: This trim adds a darker look, 18-inch black wheels, and StarTex synthetic leather, giving you a more distinctive cabin and exterior presentation. It suits you if style and easy-clean materials matter.
• Limited: This is the step up if you want standard leather seating surfaces and a more upscale feel without going all the way to the turbo models. It also gets the driver-attention monitor.
• Wilderness: This is the one to choose if you want the most rugged version, with 24.1 centimetres of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and dual-function X-Mode. It is the clear pick for buyers who want the most capability.
• Limited XT: This is the better choice if you want the stronger turbo engine with a more premium cabin than the Wilderness. It balances performance and comfort well.
• Premier XT: This is the top luxury-oriented choice, with the larger screen, CD player, digital rearview mirror, and the most upscale interior presentation. It is the right pick if you want the most features.

The Touring trim is the best-value recommendation for most used buyers, while the Wilderness is the right move if you want the most capability and the XT trims if you want stronger performance. The Touring trim is also where the key safety-package upgrades begin.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Subaru Outback?

This looks like a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to compare listings and enough price softness to reward patience.

• Deal availability: 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 306 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.91% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $34,935 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Subaru Outback's resale value?

The current average of $35,013 CAD sits slightly below last year's $40,670 CAD.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help future buyers but may pressure sellers who are trying to hold firm on asking price. If you own one, a well-priced listing will likely move faster than an overpriced example because shoppers can see the recent decline clearly.

The broad trim range also helps resale because it gives used buyers more entry points, from lower-cost versions to more premium turbo models. Strong safety and practicality should continue to support demand over time.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Subaru Outback safe?

The 2024 Subaru Outback earned a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave it five stars overall.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The EyeSight suite is standard and includes adaptive cruise control with lane-centring, automatic pre-collision braking, and lane-keep assist. A backup camera and high-beam assist are also standard, and Subaru added a wide-angle camera for 2024 to improve detection of cyclists and pedestrians.

One important trim-level note is that automatic emergency steering, blind-spot monitoring with lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert start with Touring. Reverse automatic braking also begins at Touring, while the Limited trims add a driver-attention monitor and the Premier XT gets a digital rearview mirror.

Should I buy a 2024 Subaru Outback or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.91% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the wagon-like shape, strong safety ratings, and broad trim range that define this year.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $31,926 CAD, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $35,013 CAD average.
• It adds fresh styling, new infotainment and safety technologies.

Consider the 2025 if:

• It remains one of the last remaining station wagons on the market.
• It offers a unique combination of practicality and value.

The bottom line: The 2024 is the best all-around pick if you want the current-year mix of safety, practicality, and trim variety. If your priority is saving money, the 2023 is the smarter value play; if you want to stay close to the latest version of the Outback formula, the 2025 is worth a look.
