2017 Subaru Outback: Historical Model Research

This article was originally published in May 2017. It now serves as background for shoppers considering a pre-owned Outback; it does not describe current new-model equipment or availability. Ask our West Palm Beach team to confirm the model year, trim, condition and equipment of any vehicle you are considering.

Space and Everyday Versatility

The 2017 Outback offered five seats, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat and up to 73.3 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seat folded. Premium audio and a power rear gate depended on trim or options. Roof-rail designs also varied; check the vehicle and its owner's manual before selecting carriers or loading cargo.

Available Driver Assistance

EyeSight Driver Assist Technology was available for 2017, rather than standard across the lineup. Its features included Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist. Verify that a specific used vehicle is equipped with it. Driver-assistance systems have operating limits and do not replace attentive driving.

Engines and All-Wheel Drive

The 2017 lineup paired standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with a four-cylinder 2.5i or six-cylinder 3.6R BOXER engine. Fuel economy differs by powertrain; compare the original rating for the specific version rather than applying one MPG figure to every Outback. A used vehicle's maintenance history, mileage and condition are also important to review.
