The 2023 Subaru Outback is an outlier in the Large SUV segment, mostly because it's actually a high-riding wagon and not a Sports Utility Vehicle - but those lines keep getting blurred as the years go on.
Either way, the Outback levelled with the recent introduction of a turbocharged engine option. That's right; the go-fast XT badge has returned to Subaru Australia's model line-up, now proudly worn by the segment-straddling crossover.
Specifically, under the bonnet is a 183kW/350Nm 2.0-litre boxer four-cylinder petrol unit, which is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and Subaru's signature symmetrical all-wheel-drive system.
So, in this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar finds out whether the Outback XT was worth waiting for, by putting to test its 'entry-level' Sport variant. After all, it might be a better bet than a Nissan X-Trail or a Kia Sorento.
