Appearance

There aren't really any exterior differences between the 2018 and 2019 models of the Subaru Outback. And while there are five trim levels available in each model year, the only exterior difference in any of the trims is in the 2.5i Touring model. That trim package includes dark-gray grille inserts, 18-inch wheels and silver-finish roof rails on the exterior and an interior that includes an exclusive interior color palette of brown leather seats with contrasting white stitching.

Features

Both the 2018 and 2019 Subaru Outbacks come with five trim levels and both years include basically the same features. The only big differences between the two model years is that the 2019 models include a new 6.5-inch multimedia system inside. Subaru has also added its EyeSight safety technologies bundle as a standard package. That includes a backup camera, rear safety warnings and a lane departure warning system.

Aside from the standard configuration, five optional trim levels are available in both 2018 and 2019. The 2.5i Premium models ups the size of the multimedia screen to 8 inches and includes an all-weather package with heated mirrors and heated driver and passenger seats. The 2.5i Limited models adds heated rear seats, rear air conditioning vents and leather seating surfaces. It also includes standard keyless entry with push-button start along with an auto-latch power liftgate. The 2.5i Touring model trim gets the upgraded trim package mentioned above, along with standard LED adaptive headlights. The big addition in top-level 3.6R Limited and 3.6 Touring trims packages is the addition of a more powerful 256-hp, 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine.
