The Subaru Outback has been available in the U.S. in different iterations starting in 1994, but it didn't truly become the vehicle people recognize today until the 2010 model year, when it was refined into a single, dedicated offering. Over its years on the market, many have traditionally viewed the Outback as a station wagon, though in recent times it has evolved into what is essentially now a midsize crossover SUV.
Label it as you like; the Subaru Outback has attracted a devoted following due to its adaptability, all-wheel-drive performance, and a strong reputation for safety and dependability. However, just like any vehicle, certain Outback model years are more desirable to own than others. We closely examined the Outbacks produced since 2010 to help you determine which ones are worth purchasing and which ones you’re likely better off steering clear of.
