July 24th, 2025 by

If you’re looking for a vehicle that can keep up with your active lifestyle, the 2025 Outback’s performance delivers the ideal mix of power, capability, and efficiency. Whether you’re heading into the mountains or simply cruising around town, the 2025 Outback makes every drive smooth, controlled, and reliable.

Turbocharged Options That Fit Your Drive

The 2025 Outback performance lineup includes two strong engine choices.

  • Standard 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine
    • 182 horsepower
    • 176 lb-ft of torque
    • Great fuel economy for everyday driving
  • Available 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine
    • 260 horsepower

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Comes Standard

Unlike many crossovers that charge extra for all-wheel drive, every 2025 Subaru Outback comes equipped with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard. This system provides enhanced traction and stability on both dry pavement and slippery surfaces. It’s perfect for Northern California roads that can take you from city streets to dirt trails in minutes.

Additional capability features include:

  • X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control for enhanced off-road traction
  • Improved balance and control in challenging conditions

Fuel Efficiency That Goes the Distance

The 2025 Outback performance isn’t just about power—it’s also impressively efficient.

  • Standard engine: Up to 32 MPG highway
  • Turbocharged engine: Up to 29 MPG highway
  • Estimated driving range: Nearly 600 miles on a full tank (standard engine)

This makes the Outback an ideal companion for long-distance travel, weekend getaways, or your daily commute.
