Are you looking for a rock-solid SUV for your adventures in Escondido? Subaru has plenty of options that are sure to impress, and two of the most popular are the 2024 Subaru Outback and 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. Between the Subaru Outback vs. Crosstrek, which is the right match for your wants and needs? Learn whether the spacious Outback or the agile Crosstrek is your best bet, and take a few test drives at Hello Subaru of Temecula to see what you think!
So, which is the more rugged ride: the Subaru Outback or Crosstrek? The answer is that both models are always ready for an adventure, but they offer two slightly different sets of specs. Both utilize trail-tested SUBARU BOXER® engines and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. This means you get plenty of power and control, both on- and off-road near Temecula. Between the two, the Subaru Outback has the edge on horsepower (182 hp vs. 152 hp), while the Crosstrek has the higher fuel economy (34 mpg highway* vs. 32 mpg highway*). Both have an ample 8.7-inch standard ground clearance for trips off the beaten path, though the Outback’s Wilderness configuration has just a touch of extra clearance compared to the Crosstrek Wilderness.
Probably the biggest difference between the Subaru Outback and Crosstrek is the size. The Subaru Outback is a midsize SUV, while the Crosstrek is a compact SUV. You might prefer the extra room in the spacious Outback, or you might prefer the smaller footprint of the nimble Crosstrek in Riverside. Compare the dimensions below:
