Subaru Outback is the same size, essentially, as Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento or Toyota Kluger, but people generally regard it as more car-like.
Unlike these three competitors, Outback is limited to five seats (seven for the other three). And unlike Santa Fe and Sorento, Outback is available only with a petrol engine.
How a novated lease works on a Subaru Outback
A novated lease on a Subaru Outback means being able to pay for your car and car running costs using your pre-tax salary.
Your employer deducts a regular car payment from your salary before tax is deducted. This arrangement with your employer is known as salary sacrificing a car. It means you pay less income tax.
The car running costs you can include in your Subaru Outback novated lease include: charging registration and CTP, comprehensive car insurance, servicing, tyres, car washes.

Large cargo space
What is Symmetrical All-wheel Drive?
Subaru’s most distinctive feature, perhaps, is the Symmetrical All-wheel Drive system - meaning all four wheels transmit drive to the road, all the time. Most competitors tend to offer ‘on-demand’ AWD, which reverts at times to front-drive and is controlled by a computer.
For this reason, Outback tends to be quite surefooted in slippery conditions, including wet bitumen and mud/gravel.
Subaru Outback's engine performance
Outback has a cavernous cargo space that is unencumbered by a third seating row. Engine is a 2.5-litre horizontally-opposed four-cylinder offering 138 kilowatts and 245 Newton-metres.
To put this in perspective, Toyota, Hyundai and Kia offer six-cylinder petrol engines in similar-sized vehicles. Toyota’s produces 218 kilowatts and 350 Newton-metres. (That’s 58 per cent more peak power and 43 per cent more peak torque.) The additional performance from six cylinders is not without penalty, however: The Outback offers 16 per cent better fuel economy compared with the Kluger.
Outback’s straight-line performance is therefore adequate rather than spectacular. It seems a shame that Subaru, for reasons known only to itself, has thus far declined to incorporate the 2.4-litre turbocharged engine available in other markets into the Australian Outback range.

All grades feature Symmetrical AWD, as well as Subaru’s excellent EyeSight safety system and 11.6-inch infotainment screen, eight-speed CVT transmission, 2000kg tow capacity and dusk-sensing LED headlamps.
‘Sport’ grade adds sat-nav, 18-inch alloys, front and side view monitors, heated seats front and rear (outboard seats only at the rear) and an auto tailgate.
‘Touring’ grade adds leather, an electric sunroof, uprated audio system, heated steering wheel, memory driver’s seat and gloss-finish 18-inch alloys.
