And with ample over-104-cubic-foot passenger and up-to-73.3-cubic-foot cargo space, all-wheel drive capability, reliable safety features, and a user-friendly, hands-free SUBARU STARLINK multimedia system, it's no wonder that one in the Subaru signature line of midsize crossovers earned the consumer advice and information publisher's accolades as part of its 2017 Best Cars for Families awards.

A March 8, 2017 Subaru press release gives us more than a glimpse into why. U.S. News & World Report evaluated 211 vehicles, naming winners in 18 categories as pertained optimal interior capacity, positive professional car critical reviews, safety ratings and available technologies, and 2017 Subaru Outback was on veritable vogue therein.
In fact, there's plenty to love coming standard in 2017 Outback, from a punchy 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine, with Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), manual mode and the hands-on-the-wheel convenience of paddle shifters, to a terrain-tacking, traction-optimizing Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and the excellent ground clearance, X-Mode and go-getter Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist features to make the most of it. And with an up to 25 mpg city/32 mpg highway EPA-estimated fuel economy, among the highest for all-wheel drive-equipped midsize SUVs, Outback is a model to take you places. The 2017 Subaru Outback Touring model goes the extra mile on the styling side, with an exclusive Brilliant Brown exterior, dark gray grille and dark gray-accented, machined-finish 18-in wheels to complement low-profile, silver-finish roof rails, lower cladding and chrome-accent Outback badging.
We get a sense of what U.S. News & World Report meant when it came to 2017 Outback safety, too, with optional EyeSight Driver Assist Technology-equipped Outback receiving the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) 2017 TOP SAFETY PICK and optional EyeSight and HID Headlight-equipped Outback receiving the 2017 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award.
