New 2025 Subaru Outback Hybrid Changes, Specs – Prior to the advent of Sports Utility Vehicles such as the Ascent and Forester, Subaru manufactured pioneering station wagons. The Outback, a medium-sized SUV, is the inheritor of this rugged tradition and offers the same state-of-the-art driver assistance features, comfort and technology as its larger counterparts.
Furnished with ample space for five individuals, a bountiful storage compartment, and elevated ground clearance in comparison to the majority of crossover vehicles, the 2025 Subaru Outback Hybrid effectively blends the boundaries between a SUV and wagon in a captivating manner.

Features
The 2025 Subaru Outback Hybrid is equipped with the newest iteration of EyeSight Driver Assistance Technology as standard. The upgraded system operates with increased efficiency and under a broader spectrum of circumstances. These advancements are the result of an expanded line of sight, updated programming controls, and the integration of an electrically powered brake enhancer.
Exterior and Interior
The internal design of the 2025 Subaru Outback Hybrid implements a broad windshield and elongated lines running from the center of the dashboard to the door panels, creating an atmosphere of spaciousness. The center information display, in the form of an 11.6-inch Full HD tablet-style screen, offers touch-based controls for various multimedia functions, temperature regulation, X-MODE and vehicle settings.
The premium Touring trim embodies both luxurious accents within and without, featuring brand new Black Nappa leather with contrasting tan stitching, high-gloss black molding along the pillars, chrome door handles embellished with plating, and side mirrors with a satin tone plating.

The exterior of the Outback exudes a rugged and functional feel while instilling a sense of adventure. The 2025 Subaru Outback Hybrid range boasts a new front fascia, including a bold front bumper cover, a larger grille, and overhauled LED headlights and fog lights. The wheel arch cladding has been updated for improved practicality.
Regrettably, in an effort to simplify the controls for drivers, Subaru has routed the majority of the Outback’s functions through the touch screen. The screen can be slow to respond and overly distracting, causing frustration for users. To alter any setting, one must navigate through multiple menus, which adds time and distractions to even routine tasks.
Specification
The 2025 Subaru Outback Hybrid offers the perfect combination of SUV toughness and car-like comfort and handling, thanks to its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD), Vehicle Dynamics Control, X-MODE with Hill Descent Control and Active Torque Vectoring. With an elevation of 8.7 inches from the ground, it boasts higher clearance than many SUVs, yet still boasts an easily accessible height for both front and rear passenger entry.
The 2.4-ltr turbocharged BOXER engine, available in XT models, packs a punch with its 260 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and 277 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 RPM. The standard 2.5-liter naturally aspirated BOXER engine is also efficient, with 182 horsepower at 5,800 RPM and 176 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 RPM.
Both engines are paired with a Lineartronic CVT that features an 8-speed manual mode with steering wheel paddle shifters. The 2.4-liter turbo is rated at an impressive 23/30 mpg city/highway, and has the highest towing capacity in 2025 Subaru Outback Hybrid history at 3,500 lbs. The 2.5-liter engine achieves an estimated 33 mpg and can travel more than 600 miles on a single tank.

2025 Subaru Outback Hybrid Release Date and Price
The 2025 Subaru Outback Hybrid remains a cost-effective option, with the most premium trim level, the Touring, costing a mere $44,070. Despite its affordability, it still provides exceptional value, as it is equipped with standard all-wheel drive, which is a feature not typically found in all sport utility vehicles.
