Subaru makes an upscale turn in its versatile 2017 Outback SUV with a new Touring model that includes every feature as standard equipment and adds an expensive-looking interior, so much so that the leather seats with ivory-colored contrast stitching would look at home inside a pricey Range Rover SUV.
The five-passenger Touring model also comes with the newest Subaru safety equipment, like lane-keep assist and reverse automatic braking that can stop the vehicle from backing up if rear sensors detect an obstacle behind.
The 2017 Outback is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports magazine, where reliability is predicted to be average. It also earned five out of five stars for occupant protection in frontal and side crash tests from the federal government — the same top score the Outback has had since the 2013 model year.
The five-door SUV has the highest base starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, of all 2017 Subarus — $26,520. That gets a buyer all-wheel drive, cloth seats and a 175-horsepower, four-cylinder engine mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that a driver operates like an automatic, as well as useful features such as keyless entry, cruise control and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity..
The federal government estimates the 2017 Outback’s fuel mileage at 25 miles a gallon in city driving and 32 mpg on highways with the four cylinder. This is akin to the mileage of a 2017 Hyundai Tucson, which is a smaller SUV. The test Outback Touring model averaged 24 mpg on mostly on city streets for a noteworthy travel range of more than 440 miles on an 18.5-gallon tank.
