2022 SUBARU OUTBACK WILDERNESS; VEHICLES THAT MAY HELP SURVIVE A STORM | TALKING CARS #316

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness is presented as a more rugged, off-road-focused variant of the standard Outback. Reviewers found it to be a capable vehicle, offering increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and mechanical tweaks like a revised final drive ratio for better torque. Notably, the driving experience remained largely similar to the regular Outback, with no significant compromises in on-road comfort or noise levels, despite the added off-road features. The turbocharged engine was praised for its responsiveness. While the "Wilderness" trim adds visual appeal and perceived capability, it does come at the cost of slightly reduced fuel economy. The vehicle is positioned as a profitable addition for Subaru, appealing to buyers seeking an "outdoorsy" aesthetic and enhanced capability without venturing into extreme off-roading. The review also touches on the vehicle's unique styling, which garners attention. Overall, the Outback Wilderness is seen as a smart move by Subaru to capture a popular market segment.
