 Welcome back to another one. If you are new to the channel, I'm Gulf Honey, I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube and today We're in the brand new 2024 Subaru Outback courtesy of Apple Subaru in York, PA for more information on their inventory Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below And so we are in this one today because of course Subaru's legendary all-wheel drive system symmetrical all-wheel drive system I should say also they have incredible resale value and the Outback traditionally is quite spacious It's ultimately in this video. We will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking steering Feel ride quality sound system exhaust clip all that fun stuff. So having said all of that What do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it and as always Let's start with pricing and so when it comes to pricing for the new 2024 Outback This is going to have a heck of a range ranging from 28,000 895 for the lowest trim to $42,795 for the highest trim so rather than me ramble off all of these prices I'm simply going to put a nice chart for you on the screen, but as you could imagine with all of those trim levels There are a couple different engine configurations for the 2024 Outback first one belonging to all of the non XT trim levels that one is powered by a 2.5 liter four-cylinder boxer engine putting out 182 horsepower at 5,800 rpm 176 pound-feet of torque coming in at 4,400 rpm that power sent to all four wheels They're Subaru's legendary symmetrical all-wheel drive system power sent to the ground there were linear Tronic CVT Zero to 60 time coming in at approximately 8.7 seconds with MPG numbers coming in at 26 in the city 32 on the highway taking regular Unleaded fuel but so then there is that other engine configuration Of course belonging to the XT trim levels that one is powered by 2.4 liter turbocharged four-cylinder boxer engine putting out 260 horsepower at 5,600 rpm 277 pound-feet of torque coming in at 2,000 rpm power sent to all four wheels through a CVT Zero to 60 time approximately 5.8 seconds with MPG numbers then coming in at 22 in the city 29 on the highway But again taking regular unleaded fuel All right, so before we test out the paddle shifters I first did want to mention to you guys there is a full paddle shift mode if you will Simply slide the shifter all the way to the back and to the left. It's actually going to display what? Gear you're in up on the digital portion of the gauges here and having said that I think we have a little bit of a straight away here I got it in first gear and three two one Yeah All right, so the paddle shifters are pretty darn quick and I like how it didn't kind of Shift for me when I kind of winded out the RPMs. I think that's pretty clever as well But having said that it still does feel like a like a CVT a continuously variable transmission when you're shifting through the gear So it's kind of simulated shifting, but still they are quite fun and they're there for you if you need to don't but anyways Now I'll have it got that all to the way. What do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find one more straight away I'm gonna slide the shifter back to the right here that gives back full control to the outback and let's now put the Acceleration here to the test and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2024 outback here up to speed All right in three two one go Not bad from the get-go there tell it to CVT It's okay, it's not the very quickest acceleration out there, but you should get the job done for sure So not gonna have any issues emerging on to the highway, but it's not the quickest thing out there But like I said, you know get the job done But anyways to go along with that acceleration as always breaking is equally important So when it comes to breaking of the 2024 outback, of course coming standard will be four-wheel ventilated disc brakes All right, so as far as breaking feel goes as we are pulling up to this stop sign here It's actually been perfectly fine in my short test drive here today. It's definitely not a firm breaking feel But it's not a soft break you feel either It's kind of like it's kind of like that just a bright breaking feel for the outback quite honestly So I haven't had any issues no dead spots or anything like that But anyways then touching on suspension and handling as far as ride quality goes It's been perfectly fine in my short little test drive here today It definitely absorbing Pennsylvania's road of perfections quite nicely. So go ahead and hit this manhole real quick. Yeah It's fine. Definitely no issues there. So where steering feel goes that is 100% on the looser side of things Which is to be expected for the outback. It's not a sports car You shouldn't expect a heavy steering feel like a WRX or something But it's definitely on the looser side wouldn't have minded if they maybe made even a Steering responsive driving mode where it kind of gave a heavier weight to the steering now It's probably what my preference would be for this thing But yeah, it's definitely on the looser side of things as far as cabin noise goes now that that's been perfectly fine I'm a short test drive here today. So I personally haven't had any issues there Not a whole lot of road or wind noise coming into the cabin So that's 100% on point taking a look out my rear view mirror touching on visibility a little bit I can see 100% perfectly fine out the back So that is definitely not gonna be an issue either and Rain-sensing windshield wipers actually do come standard on the outback as well But that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review you guys Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2024 Subaru outback. All right. So here she is you guys the new 2024 Subaru outback as always let's go ahead and start with where this one is made taking a look at the van first character is the number 4 Indicating that the new 2024 outback is built and assembled here in the US at least for US customers the four Indicates specifically it's going to be Indiana. I guess so that's pretty cool But before we continue on I'm doing things a little bit differently in this review So let me know in the comment section if you like this new style slash format whatever you want to call it But let's go ahead and start up front on this one front face is going to differ slightly dependent upon the trim level that you go With you got this matte black front cladding here on the front lip LED headlights with LED daytime running lights Of course, you do get the automatic feature with that as well You also though get automatic high beams which essentially means if you have your high beams on in night It senses a vehicle coming in the opposite direction It's got to automatically dim them back to low beams then when the vehicle is gone It's got to automatically then balance it back up to high beams So definitely a very convenient feature there for you also though fog lights and these aren't even halogen bulbs These are full LED fog lights down below here So added illumination at night there about my very favorite part about most Subaru's that I think like 90% of other manufacturers Don't do is about the headlights. These are actually LED steering responsive headlights So what does that mean and essentially means is when you're going around a bend at night Those headlights are going to swivel based on the direction of your steering angle better help illuminating what is around that bend So you're less likely to hit a deer or a possum or a squirrel or a chipmunk or that's all the animals I can think of right now or a pedestrian for that matter or cyclists So it's definitely a plus for visibility at night and really it's a safety feature in itself So that is pretty darn cold but that pretty much rounds out the front So go ahead and make our way to the side of this one I can so pronounce since we are around to the side of the new outback first thing I want to mention starting up top here you do with these very heavy-duty roof rails Super who does roof rails like no other manufacturer out there. They're super beefy rear privacy glass does come standard touching on the side mirrors They're going to be body colored or gloss black depending upon the trim level they go with They are power adjustable, of course, and you do get LED integrated turn signals as well So that's pretty cool But one of my favorite parts about the new outback is really they've been doing this for a while But I love the outback lettering found in the side skirts there That's something like I said Subaru has been doing for a long time with the outback It really distinguishes itself from the other Subaru's you do have some matte black cladding found in the side skirts as well It's just around the fenders there and their gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels that's specific to the Onyx trim level And of course they are going to differ Dependent upon the trim level that you go with but that pretty much rounds out the side profile of this one Let's not go ahead and make our way to the back All right, so but now since we are around to the back of the outback here First thing I want to mention you do have the matte black shark fin antenna all the way to the top Just below that rear spoiler with the integrated brake light just below that rear window wiper You do have these ledc shaped tail lights back here. That definitely looks good as far as the badging goes back here It's going to be finished in gloss black since we have the Onyx edition trim level that makes sense It's not going to apply for all trim levels, of course But that looks pretty darn good and just underneath of it all you will actually find a single exhaust outlet It's under here on this side. So having said that I do believe you guys know what we have to do next as always here Is that exhaust clip? All right, you guys So now since we are around still to the back of the outback here when it comes to opening that rear tailgate It is a hands-free power tailgate, which is pretty darn convenient If you have your hands full of groceries or kids or whatever the case But there is a button on the key fob you can use that as well And there's also a button on the trunk itself any of those options is going to open it up for you But once it opened up you actually do have quite a big going on back here though First thing I want to mention. There's a 12-volt power outlet right there You guys probably aren't going to be able to see it with this view, but it's there You got some netted storage found over there You also have some grocery bag hooks the cool thing about these is you just press the top and they open up for you So I like that those are there as well You also have some tie-down anchors there Of course, you also have this cargo cover which is going to lock in place And it actually looks like it has an upper level as well. So that is pretty darn cool Like how that works. Also, you have this Harman Kardon rear subwoofer back here We're going to be testing out the sound system in a little bit. So don't go anywhere for that And let's see what's underneath of the cargo floor You have a good bit of in-floor storage and it looks like you have a jack for Changing your spare tire. So it's going to be a spare tire as opposed to the inflator kit Which I personally prefer but now let me go ahead and actually put down the rear seats here Let's see how much cargo space we have by the way real quick to fold these rear seats down There's actually levers found in the cargo area, which makes it super easy All right, so somebody requested this once they wanted to see how much space was in the cargo area So they wanted to see if I had enough room to sleep in it. Now my feet are actually touching the front seats here I'm kind of fully extended my legs aren't bent in or anything But this is essentially how much space I have there is still a little bit of space there So I can imagine you could put a pillow right here and be completely fine Just without this cargo cover being right there. I wouldn't think that would be very comfortable All right, so but now I'm making our way up to the rear leg room. This by the way is me sitting behind my own driving position So decent amount of leg room there and the headroom is fine as well So perfectly fine with that also have a rear center armrest with cup holders, which is pretty cool Got rear ventilation as well. You have a usba and usb c charging port So that is pretty cool that both options are there and this is a funky little uh seat back map pocket or deal here You got a big pocket. You got a littler pocket and another medium-sized pocket So it's like the three little bears, but on the back of your front seat. That's pretty cool But so now I'm making our way up to the front seats here. They are power adjustable. I loved that and this is actually Star-tex water repellent upholstery that we have in our onyx trim level And it kind of looks like it would be water repellent quite honestly But I tell you what I love the green stitching found on the seats and they are some of the most comfortable seats I've actually sat in in quite a while and I didn't expect to say that hopping in a Subaru quite honestly Typically I say that in lexus and mercedes-benz and bmw But I didn't expect that in the Subaru outback here. These are incredibly comfortable seats. They're bolstered Well, and like I said, they are plenty adjustable But now let's go ahead and take a look at the steering wheel because this is what really really impressed me because a lot of times It won't be as telescoping as I would want it to be. So let me show you guys right here This is very telescoping when it comes to the steering wheel It kind of impressed me more telescoping than most of the other vehicles that I've reviewed and I've reviewed over 700 of them at this point So if you're a six foot seven to seven foot individual like myself This should be perfectly fine. This car is made for taller individuals not seven feet tall by the way I'm just kidding. But anyways, I do like that and I like the lime green stitching within the steering wheel as well That was definitely a nice touch. But so now let's go ahead and make our way to the startup Let me try to show you guys the key here real quick as well Essentially, all of your buttons on one side you got lock unlock and that button to pop the rear tailgate there But the unlock button is going to be the Subaru logo by the way, but it is all keyless entry with the push button start So I'm just going to put my foot at the brake and press that engine start button So now let me show you guys the gauges as I walk you through this here real quick Tachometer is on your left speedometer is on your right There is a small digital display front and center Which can be controlled by using the steering wheel mounting controls on the left side of the screen But gives you things like how many miles you have left until you hit empty their safety information radio information Pretty much everything you could possibly want on the digital screen there But now let's go ahead and make our way to overall interior quality. I love the power sunroof in this thing I also like the overhead sunglass holder. That is pretty cool We do have a rear view mirror with a compass found in the upper rainhand corner That is nice as well and hopefully controls show up to three different garage doors I do like this little shelf on the passenger side as well It's kind of kind of rubberized bottom to it so things don't slide around again You got the lime green contrast stitching just in front of the shifter. You got more rubberized storage You can put yourself in there usb charging port usb a and usb c and then an auxiliary port Lecture mechanical parking brake right there as well You got your dual cupholders just behind the shifter and within the center armrest There's a couple different compartments go figure There it is So you got a decent amount of storage in there 12 volt power outlet and like I said a couple different compartments But overall interior quality is perfectly fine I mean as far as it actually is better than I expected you have this nice soft touch material on the doors And there's really not a whole lot of hard plastics on the doors That's usually where manufacturers try to save money, but that definitely worked out pretty darn good in this one But so now let's go ahead and make our way to the infotainment screen That's going to be the home button that essentially was what we're on right now But as far as quickness goes to this thing there's a little bit of a delay I've seen quicker systems, but this will get the job done you got a little bit of the car info up there Which is pretty cool. You got your elevation and your angles and stuff like that Also have bluetooth and audio streaming of course android auto apple carplay Also have your radio information up here and like I said, we do have a harmon kardon sound system with us here today So without further ado, let's just go ahead and skip to that We find a good station here and let's go ahead and test out the clarity That we have on our harmon kardon sound system with us here today On the other side Yeah, that is dang good ton of bass ton of clarity ton of loudness that sound system is Pretty darn incredible if I do say so myself and by the way, there is a car icon at the bottom here too That's where you can adjust your if you want this during responsive headlights There's also x mode where you can choose snow and dirt normal or deep snow and mud Most subarus come with that nowadays as well. I forgot to mention that earlier So that is pretty darn cold But last thing I want to mention you guys on the infotainment screen Of course is when you do put the outback in reverse You will find that rear view camera coming standard across the board Which is always Is going to lead us into safety and so as with all subarus the new outback is an IIHS top safety pick plus Which is the very highest designation given by IIHS that pretty much does it all right there You got subaru eyesight, which essentially is all the advanced safety that comes with subaru That comes with automatic emergency steering reverse automatic braking There's a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert and pretty much all of the other advanced safety that you would expect Defined on a subaru. All right, and so when it comes to my final thoughts of the new 2024 subaru outback It sounds like a lot going forward It's a very comfortable vehicle incredibly comfortable seats Very convenient if you're a taller individual because of that telescoping steering wheel that telescope go further than Probably most vehicles that i'll review these days also incredible safety. It's an IIHS top safety pick plus It doesn't get any better than that You got the steering responsive headlights that usually you don't find in the majority of other vehicles out there Even luxury vehicles for that matter overall. It was a very comfortable ride. It's nothing That's going to really blow you away in terms of acceleration or driving dynamics But that's not what the vehicle was actually built for it's built to comfortably get you from point a to point b Including that incredible symmetrical all-wheel drive system. It doesn't get any better than that when it comes to all-wheel drive That's been tested by the way. It's not just my opinion So ultimately if you're looking for something that is going to get you to and from work comfortably And get you through the snow at the same time as we quite often get here in pennsylvania This is definitely a solid option But let me know what you guys think of the new outback in the comment section below And let me know what you think of this new format as well But that is about it for this one you guys Thank you so much for watching for free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen Be sure to hit the subscribe and the bell notification button If you're into new car reviews because that is what we do here on this channel after all Do appreciate you guys watching more than you know, and I will see you guys all in the next video Stay gold
