Which Subaru Outback trim should I buy?

• Premium XT: This trim adds several niceties and driver assists, making it a good fit if you want more equipment and are willing to pay more for it.
• Wilderness: This version adds extra capability for adventure use, and the content highlights its more demanding off-road focus.
• Limited XT: This trim adds the native cloud-based navigation system and pairs it with the turbocharged setup.

What Subaru Outback do most buyers choose?

The Subaru Outback years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they offer a strong mix of newer features, broad availability, and pricing that still sits below brand-new inventory. More listings also give you a better chance of finding the trim, colour, and condition you want.

What is the Subaru Outback's resale value?

Most model years in the table are down year over year, which creates more room for used buyers to find value. The largest drops are concentrated in several newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older examples have moved down by smaller amounts. That pattern suggests the Outback remains in demand, but shoppers can still benefit from softer pricing across much of the range.

The 2021, 2014, and 2019 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
