SUBARU ANNOUNCES PRICING ON REFRESHED 2023 OUTBACK SUV

  • Outback receives a redesigned front fascia
  • Latest version of EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology is standard  
  • SUBARU STARLINK® multimedia systems offer improved on-screen controls
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ are standard on 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system

Subaru of America, Inc. today announced pricing on the updated 2023 Outback. The legendary SUV receives updated styling as well as new safety and in-vehicle technologies. This year, the Outback Onyx Edition trim level is available with two engine options. The 2023 Outback will begin arriving at Subaru retailers this fall.
 
The 2023 Outback (except Wilderness) receives a bolder look thanks to a new front fascia incorporating a more prominent grille and redesigned LED headlights. On the sides of Outback (except Wilderness), the expanded wheel arch cladding adds to the vehicle’s new look while providing additional protection.
 
The vehicle comes standard with the latest generation of EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. The enhanced system operates more smoothly and under a greater range of conditions. These improvements are the result of a wider field of view, updated control software, and the addition of an electric brake booster.
 
The 2023 Outback makes available the latest version of the SUBARU STARLINK 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto with full screen display. The system features an 11.6-inch high-resolution touchscreen with combination meter integration and improved on-screen controls for audio, HVAC, X-MODE® (on Outback), and other vehicle functions. Additional standard features include Bluetooth® hands-free phone and audio streaming connectivity; AM/FM stereo; rear vision camera; SiriusXM® and SiriusXM Travel Link® (4-month free Platinum subscription); HD Radio®; over-the-air updates; and new Valet Mode.

The top-level Touring adds a Wide-Angle Mono Camera that works with the dual-camera EyeSight system. The additional camera expands the field of view even further to recognize pedestrians and bicycles sooner when the vehicle enters an intersection at low speed. EyeSight gives an alert to the driver and, when necessary, applies brakes to avoid collisions.
 
On models equipped with Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, EyeSight now includes Automatic Emergency Steering. The two systems work in conjunction to help avoid a collision with an obstacle at speeds less than 50 mph.
