Prices are up by only $500, but the updated model year 2014 Subaru Outback scores more than $2,500 worth of extra value. Without doubt Outback remains one of the slickest SUV wagons and is definitely a CarShowroom favourite.
Most noticeable in the pics is the sharper looks of the 2014 model. In response to customer feedback, Subaru has toughened the Outback with greater body protection.
The changes include wheel arch guards, front and rear under-body guard protectors and front mud flaps.
City-based buyers can elect to delete some of the protection elements.
There’s also new headlights with black backgrounds, dark grey alloy wheels, a dark grey front grille, side sills with cladding and roof rails with integrated cross bars.
