What Subaru Outback do most buyers choose?

The Subaru Outback years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2021.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a wider selection of trims, prices, and equipment levels. They also often sit in the sweet spot between newer features and more accessible used pricing.

What is the Subaru Outback's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, and several have seen double-digit declines.
