Appearance

The 2024 Subaru Outback is built to take you off the beaten path while still looking great on city roads. It boasts elevated ground clearance, a low-profile roof, and prominent molding on the sides. This molding flares over the door panels and fenders. Molding extends across the bumpers and rises in a column underneath the LED headlights. The dimensions of the 2024 Subaru Ascent are larger, and the sides and hood are lightly defined. Thin molding lines the perimeter and expands over the foglamp ports. The nose is also distinguished by a pronged LED band that partially surrounds a round bulb.
