We evaluated the four-cylinder Outback last year this time around we tested a six-cylinder Outback 3.6R Limited. The Outback was redesigned for 2010 you can compare that version with the 2011 Outback here. As with all Subarus, all-wheel drive is standard. Trim levels include the four-cylinder Outback 2.5i and six-cylinder Outback 3.6R, each of which come in three versions: base, Premium and Limited (compare them here). Where others have tried in so many ways to reinvent the crossover concept, the Outback is happy to nail all of its essentials: utility, capability and drivability. The Outback’s formula for success is no secret. Indeed, a year after its redesign, the Outback has sold more than the competing Toyota Venza and Honda Accord Crosstour combined.
