View dealThe Subaru Outback is a raised, all-wheel-drive estate built for people whose roads run out. It carries five people and 561 litres of luggage, tows up to 2,000kg braked, and comes with all-wheel drive on every version - no options list to wade through.
In Subaru's UK line-up it's the estate among the crossovers, and it sits in the current seventh-generation form that has been on sale since 2021. If you want the space of an estate with genuine grip in mud, snow and wet farm tracks, very little else does the same job.
The choice is simple. One body style, one petrol engine, and four trims: Limited, Field, Touring and Touring X.

The Outback is an estate car with off-road ability, not an SUV with estate styling. Reviewers consistently rate its all-wheel-drive traction and ride comfort above almost anything at the price, while noting the engine sounds strained when worked hard.
It has been doing this since the 1990s, and the recipe hasn't changed much: petrol power, permanent all-wheel drive and a load bay that swallows dogs, tools and holiday luggage.
Practically, you get five seats, 561 litres behind the rear seats and a body 4.87m long. Subaru backs it with a three-year or 60,000-mile warranty and a 12-year anti-corrosion guarantee, with servicing due every 12 months or 12,000 miles.
Because the Outback is generously equipped as standard, the version you lease matters less than it does with most cars. Every trim gets all-wheel drive, the same 167bhp engine, built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front and rear seats and an electrically adjustable driver's seat.
Safety is a genuine strength. Every Outback carries adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, active lane-change assist, traffic sign recognition, a rear-view camera and rear parking sensors, and the car holds a five-star Euro NCAP rating with 95% for safety assist and 88% for adult occupant protection.
Roof rails, privacy glass, dual-zone climate control and power-folding mirrors are standard too. Boot space runs from 561 litres with the seats up to between 1,750 and 1,822 litres folded, depending on version, and braked towing is 2,000kg.
There's only one, so the decision is made for you: a 2.5-litre petrol with an automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive.
No plug, no charging, no battery to think about. The 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol produces 167bhp and 252Nm, reaching 62mph in 10.2 seconds and 120mph flat out, through an eight-ratio automatic with paddle shifters. WLTP economy is 33.0mpg and CO2 is 193g/km.
That CO2 figure makes it an expensive company car, so the Outback is usually a personal lease choice. If you're weighing fuel type, our guide to choosing between petrol, diesel and electric is a sensible starting point.

All four trims share the same engine, all-wheel drive and 18-inch alloy wheels, so you're choosing seat material, comfort kit and wheel finish rather than capability.
The entry trim is far from basic. Limited has 18-inch dark grey alloy wheels, LED headlights with auto leveliser, satellite navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, cloth upholstery and climate control.
The Limited is currently available from £585.54 a month.
Field is the outdoorsy one. It swaps in 18-inch black alloy wheels and synthetic leather seats featuring StarTex, which wipes clean after muddy boots and wet dogs, and adds a heated steering wheel and a hands-free power tailgate.
The Field is currently available from £614.54 a month. Against the Limited, that is currently £29.00/mo more expensive.
Touring is the comfort-led choice, with 18-inch machined dark metallic alloy wheels, a power sliding and tilt-adjustable sunroof, Nappa leather seat trim and an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support and a memory function.
The Touring is currently available from £693.94 a month. Against the Field, that is currently £79.39/mo more expensive.
Touring X takes the Touring and changes the wheel finish to 18-inch diamond-cut dark metallic alloys. It's about appearance rather than extra equipment, so pick it if you prefer the look.
The Touring X is currently available from £710.06 a month. Against the Touring, that is currently £16.13/mo more expensive.
