Check out our Expert Rating below to learn even more from our test team's full evaluation. But overall the Outback's combination of comfort and capability is hard to beat. Or if you want something even capable off-road, take a look at the Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Wrangler or new Ford Bronco. Top rivals include the Honda Passport, Hyundai Santa Fe and Volkswagen Atlas Cross. There are plenty of other midsize SUVs in this class. Subaru also loads the Outback Wilderness with goodies for overlanding enthusiasts including a standard front skid plate, all-terrain tires, and an upgraded roof rack that can bear up to 700 pounds of weight so you can mount a rooftop tent. That's nearly an inch more than the regular model and further enhances the Outback's ability to roll over rocks and ruts without damage. The upgrades start with a lifted suspension that gives the Outback 9.5 inches of ground clearance. For 2022, Subaru is introducing the Outback Wilderness for customers who want a little more off-road capability from their SUV/wagon hybrid.
