Fun to drive, well-mannered
Practical and easy to clean

Reduced fuel economy

The Outback lineup gains an even more rugged Wilderness model for 2022, which boasts extra ground clearance, an upgraded suspension, Yokohama all-terrain tires, and a host of styling enhancements to help broadcast its brawnier image.

Pros
Lifted suspension provides better ground clearance,
cargo-friendly interior,
plenty of tech features.

Cons
Lazy base engine,
uninspired handling,
CVT transmission dulls acceleration.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Spacious cabin and smooth, comfortable ride
Optional turbocharged engine provides plenty of power
Loading the roof or cargo area is easier than in most SUVs
Above-average off-road ability

Cons
Big touchscreen is slow to respond and buries many controls in complicated menus
Slow acceleration from standard engine
Native voice recognition system isn't very accurate

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Nicely equipped from the base model up,
cabin is spacious for its class,
refined driving demeanor.

Cons
Vague steering,
all-digital dashboard may not appeal to everyone,
noticeable turbo lag with entry-level turbo four.
