2022 Subaru Outback Exterior and Dimensions

It must be said that the exterior styling of the 2022 Outback is not all that exciting, especially compared to other crossovers in the USA. It takes a function over form approach, and while some might like this, it's not to everyone's tastes. The base model and Premium come standard with 17-inch wheels, growing to 18 inches from the Limited trim upwards with the exception of the Wilderness. All models get steering-responsive LED headlights and LED fog lights for the new year. A hands-free power rear tailgate is standard on Limited models and above, and Touring models, Limited XT, and Touring XT cars get a power moonroof. Some models feature unique styling elements. The Onyx Edition XT we tested has Crystal Black Silica-finish wing mirrors and matching black-finish alloy wheels. 2022's newest addition, the Wilderness, rides on 17-inch alloy wheels finished in matte black but also sports Yokohama GEOLANDAR all-terrain tires. This trim sports hexagonal LED foglights, unique two-tone decals, and model-specific raised roof rails with a 700-pound carrying capacity.

Classified as a wagon, albeit one with crossover-like styling and ground clearance, the 2022 Subaru Outback is a semi-SUV that rides on the new modular architecture that was introduced for the 2020 MY's new generation. This gives most models dimensions that include an overall length of 191.3 inches, a width of 73 inches, and a height of 66.1 inches including the roof rails. The car rolls on a 108.1-inch wheelbase. Ground clearance is an off-road friendly 8.7 inches, which is a class-leading figure. There are variations, primarily in the case of the new Wilderness, which is wider at 74.6 inches, taller at 66.9 inches, and has extra ground clearance for a total of 9.5 inches.

The curb weight of the 2022 Outback varies from trim to trim, with the lightest models weighing in at 3,637 lbs while the heaviest variants weigh up to 3,937 lbs.
