2017 Subaru Outback vs Toyota RAV4

  • The Outback offers better four-cylinder engine fuel economy, letting you adventure farther, for longer
  • The spacious rear hatch in the Outback wagon offers more standard cargo space than the RAV4 with seats in place
  • Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system outperforms the RAV4's AWD system in road tests

2017 Subaru Outback vs Hyundai Santa Fe

  • Want all-wheel drive on your Santa Fe? You'll pay over $5,000 more for a base AWD Santa Fe than a base Subaru Outback
  • The Outback gives you better fuel economy for both powertrain options--up to 33 mpg on the highway
  • Subaru's wagon also rides higher than the Santa Fe, so not only can you travel for longer, you can go places the Santa Fe can't

2017 Subaru Outback vs Chevrolet Equinox

  • Though the two SUVs appear well-matched the Outback gives you more cargo room and more passenger volume
  • Choose the standard four-cylinder engine or the available six-cylinder BOXER engine in the Outback--you'll still fuel up less often than in the Equinox
  • The cherry on top? The Outback is also cheaper than the Equinox at nearly every trim level
