Steering is nicely weighted, direct and natural. The ride is composed, with good bump absorption and predictable, comfortable maneuverability. Subaru says it retuned the Outback’s steering, brakes and shock absorbers to improve drivability, and I believe it. Both engines work through a CVT and standard all-wheel drive. A 175-horsepower, 2.5-liter flat four-cylinder is standard, while a 256-hp, 3.6-liter six-cylinder is optional. While I wouldn’t call it quick, the Subaru Outback isn’t slow, either. The 2018 Outback, however, is both responsive and quiet. My time in Subarus past was marked by irritation and aggravation the brand’s heavy use of continuously variable automatic transmissions has helped fuel economy but hurt responsiveness and quietness. Lastly, the climate controls have been relocated directly under the multimedia screen for a more cohesive look.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone infotainment compatibility are new this year, and they’re standard. Even better are the handy tuning and volume knobs. The graphics are crisp and modern, the menus straightforward and easy to use. A standard 6.5-inch touchscreen replaces last year’s smaller unit, and an 8-inch touchscreen is optional. These small pops of unexpected luxury impress in the thoughtfully designed cabin. New stitching on the upper dash of top trim levels also adds some pizzazz.

Subaru even added a dose of luxury in higher trim levels, with high-quality materials highlighted by padded plastic where it counts, plus comfy leather seats with contrast stitching and faux (but believable) low-gloss wood paneling on the door sills and dash. Interior design is classier across the lineup, and materials quality is better overall. The Subaru Outback’s cabin has always had a utilitarian, serviceable look to it, but there’s a surprise inside for 2018.
Its tall-wagon looks set it apart from the pack, though with each redesign it takes on more of the bloated stance of an SUV.
While the Outback’s exterior styling doesn’t raise eyebrows, it stands out among the throngs of SUVs in grocery store parking lots and school drop-off lanes in that it’s not an SUV - or at least, not exactly. The Outback also competes against more traditional mid-size SUVs like the Ford Edge and Jeep Cherokee. The Subaru Outback’s most direct competitor - spiritually if not in size - is the VW Golf Alltrack, another tall wagon with AWD. Subtle styling tweaks - like more angular headlights and a slightly larger grille - maintain the Outback’s clean, unfussy design, while an updated multimedia system and retuned transmission improve usability and drivability. Minor updates for the 2018 Subaru Outback make an already good thing better. Versus the competition: The Outback blurs the line between wagon and SUV, but it’s more affordable than similarly sized SUVs and just as capable and practical. The verdict: The Subaru Outback offers a blend of two worlds: It’s rugged-looking and capable outside, and it provides just the right balance of comfort and coddling inside.
