The comfort bias also serves it well in its intended role of traversing rough roads and forays off the beaten track. This is perfect for around-town and highway driving where it deals with manhole covers and expansion joints without fuss. The Outback makes no pretensions to sportiness and has a clear focus on providing a soft ride that soaks up shocks and vibrations before they reach the cabin. The Touring trims also get a camera-based digital rearview mirror this year. Standard equipment has been shored up with the addition of a camera-based digital rearview mirror and an additional wide-angle front camera on the Touring trim that works in conjunction with EyeSight to give the driver earlier warning of hazards like pedestrians or cyclists. The EyeSight driver-assistance tech has been upgraded to the latest version that operates more smoothly and under a wider range of conditions and now includes automatic emergency steering. The previously turbo-only Onyx Edition gains access to the base engine this year, but if fitted with the turbocharged engine, it now gets a standard moonroof. On all trims but Base, the infotainment system is now the latest Starlink system with an 11.6-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, improved on-screen controls for vehicle functions, and W3W (What 3 Words) location technology, enabling owners to share locations such as trailheads and lookout points. The 2023 Outback crossover station wagon gets a light restyle with more rugged wheel-arch cladding, more aggressive front and rear fascias than last year's car, and new LED headlights and LED foglights. In fact, it's all the off-road vehicle most people will ever need, which is why it's so popular. It's now become a model in its own right, and although a quick review of the Subaru Outback's competitors sharing its form produces a list that more accurately contains the Audi A4 allroad, the Volvo V60 Cross Country, the Outback cross-country wagon is far more off-road capable than any of these European posers, even if you can't exactly tackle the Rubicon Trail with it. The new 2023 Subaru Outback isn't quite an SUV, even if Subaru calls it so, and although it vies for the same buyers as compact crossover SUVs like the Forester and Toyota RAV4, it started life as a hopped-up and ruggedized Legacy station wagon. All Outbacks are AWD, so they appeal to SUV-minded people or those who frequently take the more adventurous road home. It's available with a 182-horsepower naturally aspirated engine or a 260-hp turbocharged one, so decent performance is available. The Subaru Outback is an extremely important car for Subaru USA and was its second most popular model locally in 2022, outselling the Forester and breathing down the neck of the top-selling Subaru Crosstrek.
