How does the 2021 Subaru Outback wagon compare with the all-new Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Mazda CX-9, Toyota Highlander, Ford Edge, Lexus NX, Lexus UX, and Toyota Venza? According to a new study by Consumer Reports (by subscription), Outback is one of the nine best SUVs under $40,000. Show All nine SUVs rank top choices by Consumer Reports in several areas like crash scores, ride quality, fuel mileage, cabin noise, comfortable seats, and active safety features. Scores are also based on owner surveys asking buyers if they would repurchase the same vehicle. CR says the 2021 Subaru Outback wagon is a "smart alternative to an SUV" when rated with the other eight SUVs above. It's rated high for the new 2.4-liter turbocharged engine with additional power and "effortless acceleration." Outback also gets high marks for a ride that is "very comfortable, and handling is responsive and secure," and thoughtful details like built-in crossbars and a dual-position cargo cover. What is the downside to the Outback? CR says, "Some tasks through the large infotainment screen require more than one step." Additionally, "The base 2.5-liter four-cylinder does the job but can feel strained under stress." The newly-remodeled Outback is ranked number one of eleven midsize SUVs and gets a 91/100 on the road test score, 4/5 in owner satisfaction, and an overall score of 86/100. Consumer Reports ranks the Kia Telluride number one with an overall score of 97, Outback number two at 86, Hyundai Palisade 85, Toyota Highlander 84, Ford Edge 83, Lexus NX 82, Lexus UX 81, Mazda CX-9 80, and Toyota Venza 78.

Aaron grew up with home mechanics and maintenance on tractors, trucks, and cars as well as small engines and devices. At any one time, he’s worked as an automotive disassembler (aka “junk yard parts puller”), shade tree mechanic, over-the-road truck driver, and more. Aaron’s interests include family-oriented vehicles, off-roading, and anything fun involving tires and steering. With most of his life having been in rural America, Aaron understands pickup trucks and SUVs, winter weather hazards, and what life is like where phrases like “Just down the road” mean “within 100 miles.” Aaron’s automotive writing career has included outlets such as Carfax, CarTalk, NewAtlas.com, and many others. He’s appeared on NPR’s All Things Considered, on various YouTube channels, and on several podcasts. The Subaru Outback is known primarily for its station wagon design, ample interior space, go-anywhere attitude, and upscale feel. Considered the flagship for the Subaru lineup for many consumers, the Outback fits a niche that others have tried to copy and rarely match. But that’s changing as automakers up their game and become more competitive. Finding competitors in today’s crossover-laden market is easier now that AWD is becoming much more common.
Subaru Outback vs. Competitors1. Audi A4 AllroadThe Allroad is sporty with a lot of European appeal, with a high-quality interior and lots of technology. It’s more expensive than the Outback, but returns similar fuel efficiency and interior spaciousness. Audi’s all-wheel drive system is well-liked and capable as well. The Takeaway: The Audi A4 Allroad offers an experience that’s equal to the Outback in versatility but with more luxury fitment. It’s also more composed and energetic to drive by comparison.

Ford EscapeThe Escape does not compete off-road, however, with all-wheel drive being only available in the gasoline and hybrid models. That AWD system is geared more towards inclement weather than it is trail running and there is no “Wilderness” option for more get-out-there capability as can be had in the Outback. The Takeaway: The Ford Escape is primarily focused on a good drive dynamic and daily driving on the pavement with maximum efficiency.

Subaru ForesterGiving a more traditional crossover-SUV design, the Forester has a drive dynamic to match, being a little higher in seating and maneuverability than is the Outback wagon. It is, in other respects, very comparable to the Outback in terms of fuel economy, warranty, and comfort. The Takeaway: The Subaru Forester is not quite as upscale in appeal as is the Outback, but it offers a lot more interior space and cargo room when compared.
