Used 2024 Subaru Outback for Sale nearQuebec, QC

How much does the 2024 Subaru Outback cost?

Prices have softened 12.96% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 397 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory for you to compare.

Is the 2024 Subaru Outback a good car?

Yes — it earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 7.8/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Cost effectiveness and Safety.

The 2024 Subaru Outback stands out because it stays true to the raised station wagon formula, giving you SUV-like ride height and excellent visibility in a smaller, more practical package. That makes it a strong fit if you want everyday usefulness without moving to a bulkier crossover.

The main trade-offs are an underwhelming base engine and a dated infotainment system. Even so, the broad trim range gives you room to choose between value and a more premium feel.

With 33.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Subaru Outback reliable?

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

The 2024 Outback’s strong safety credentials and practical design support its reputation as a dependable everyday vehicle. Its standard all-wheel drive and broad trim range also point to a model built for all-weather use and long-term versatility.

The base engine is described as underwhelming, but the turbocharged versions address that weakness more convincingly. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is ending up with a trim that does not match your expectations for performance or technology.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Convenience trim keeps the dual-7-inch-screen system, while Touring adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, reverse automatic braking, blind-spot monitoring with lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency steering. The Limited trims add the driver-attention monitor, and the Premier XT adds a digital rearview mirror and a driver-attention monitor.
• Powertrain: The default engine is a 2.5-litre flat-four with 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. Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a Lineartronic CVT are standard.
• Safety package: The EyeSight suite is standard and includes adaptive cruise control with lane-centring, automatic pre-collision braking, and lane-keep assist. Touring adds automatic emergency steering, blind-spot monitoring with lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and reverse automatic braking.

• Fuel efficiency: The base engine is rated at 9.2 L/100 km in the city, 7.3 L/100 km on the highway, and 8.3 L/100 km combined. The turbo engine is rated at 10.6 L/100 km city, 8.1 L/100 km highway, and 9.5 L/100 km combined. The Wilderness is rated at 11.0 L/100 km city, 9.0 L/100 km highway, and 10.1 L/100 km 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 value play if you want the Outback’s core strengths at the lowest entry point, but it keeps the simpler dual-screen setup and the four-speaker audio system.
• Touring: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds wireless smartphone connectivity and important safety upgrades, including reverse automatic braking and blind-spot monitoring with lane-change assist.
• Onyx: Choose this if you want a darker look and StarTex synthetic leather without moving up to the more expensive trims.
• Limited: This is the better pick if you want leather seating surfaces and the added driver-attention monitor.
• Wilderness: This is the right choice if you want the most rugged version, with all-terrain tires, extra ground clearance, and the dual-function X-Mode system.
• Limited XT: Pick this if you want the turbo engine with a more upscale feel and the Limited trim’s equipment.
• Premier XT: This is the most premium version, with the turbo engine, the 11.6-inch screen, the digital rearview mirror, and the most upscale interior presentation.

The Touring trim is the best-value choice for most used buyers, while the Wilderness makes the most sense if you want the most capability-focused version. Safety equipment expands as you move up the range, with Touring bringing in the key driver-assistance upgrades.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 397 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.96% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $34,343 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 $34,355 CAD sits slightly below last year's $39,472 CAD.

That price decline suggests the Outback has become more accessible for used buyers, which can make it harder for a future seller to command top dollar immediately. If you buy at today’s average, you may have less downside risk than someone who bought when prices were higher.

The Outback’s broad appeal should still help support demand over time, especially because it offers a distinctive wagon shape, standard all-wheel drive, and strong safety credentials. That combination can make it easier to resell than a more ordinary crossover when the time comes.

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 cyclist and pedestrian detection.

There are a few trim-level gaps to keep in mind. Reverse automatic braking starts with Touring, and automatic emergency steering also comes in at Touring along with blind-spot monitoring with lane-change assist and rear cross-traffic alert. The Premier XT adds a digital rearview mirror and a driver-attention monitor, while the Limited trims also get the driver-attention monitor.

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:

• 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.96% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds feature-enriched trims and trim-specific aesthetic tweaks.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $31,392 CAD, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $34,355 CAD average.
• It brings fresh styling plus new infotainment and safety technologies.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $39,724 CAD, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $34,355 CAD average.
• It keeps the Outback’s rugged wagon identity and adds strong practicality and value.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, features, and availability, the 2024 is the strongest all-around choice. If you are more price-sensitive, the 2023 is the better value play, while the 2025 makes sense only if you want to spend more for the newer model year.
