2021 Subaru Outback vs 2020 Subaru Outback
Serving Harrisonburg, VA
The Subaru Outback does not have many changes in 2021 compared to the Outback in 2020. The 2021 Outback carries over with the same award-winning safety technology, power, and creature comforts that it offered before. Exceptional ground clearance is still a highlight of the Outback in 2021, and it comes with many opportunities for a custom finish.
Performance
There are two different engines offered for the Subaru Outback in both the 2021 and 2020 model years. The first engine, which powers the Base through Touring trims, is a 2.5L with four cylinders. This engine creates up to 182 HP in peak power, and it delivers up to 176 LB-FT in torque. On the XT models, you'll get a more powerful engine with a 2.4L displacement. This engine increases the Outback's power output to 260 HP and 277 LB-FT of torque. Both engines get a continuously variable automatic transmission, and you can get all-wheel drive across the board.
