FROM
$13,420

The 2016 Subaru Outback range of configurations is currently priced from $10,990.

Our most recent review of the 2016 Subaru Outback resulted in a score of 8 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Tim Robson had this to say at the time: The addition of a strong yet sophisticated diesel gives the large, practical and good looking Outback a real boost as a long-distance family rig that eschews the often compromised dynamics of the traditional diesel SUV wagon.

Subaru Outback 2016 FAQs

2017 outback release?

MY17 Outback is on sale now. There are no major changes from MY16 model.

Which SUV should I buy?

You have clearly done your homework, from which you should be able to decide which is best for you. Without knowing what your needs and wants are all we can advice is that the three cars you have honed in on are good choices.

Best replacement for a Liberty Wagon?

With 2000 kg towing capacity the Discovery Sport has the towing capacity you want, it's more than the CX-5, and it's not limited to 80 km/h like the Subaru is. That's a big plus. The only criticisms we've heard about are some niggling interior fit and finish issues, and one or two electrical gremlins. The Land Rover also has more ground clearance than the CX-5 and a traction control system better set up for actual off-road work.
