2017 Subaru Outback

Pros: Spacious interior with wagon versatility; controlled, comfortable ride; standard all-wheel drive

Cons: Middling fuel economy with 6-cylinder engine; some ergonomic issues with climate controls and available navigation system

CG Says: Subaru Outback gains a new top-line model for 2017. The Touring has unique interior and exterior trim, as well as a heated steering wheel. Reverse automatic braking and self-dimming headlights are newly available on Outback. The 2017 Subaru Outback blends midsize station wagon and SUV attributes while delivering a host of welcome safety and convenience features. Car loyalists, crossover intenders, and even those searching for an at least mildly off-road-capable SUV will find a lot to like with the Outback.
