The symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system gives even better control in all driving conditions. Although the Outback does not have a turbocharged engine, the power given is plenty good. The only letdown could be the CVT that does not give a great driving experience but on the other hand, it increases fuel efficiency.

• You can choose between a 3.6L 6-cylinder engine and 2.4L 4-cylinder engine
• The driving system is the All Wheel Drive only(AWD)

Subaru Outback is generally a good car when it comes to fuel consumption. It gives an average of 12km/l but this will also depend on ones driving skills. It is a more stable car and handles well around corners. The higher ground clearance means that the car will easily handle offroad driving, in addition, the AWD will boost the offroad capabilities.

The tech features are amazing and you will enjoy driving the vehicle. The Price of the Subaru Outback is slightly high in Kenya but we feel it is worth it.

Bottomline

The price of Subaru Outback is high in Kenya, anyone with a lower budget can go for the locally used models. The running cost of this car is also high, this is because Subaru spare parts are expensive and the fuel economy of the Outback is average. However, the car is reliable, comfortable and gives good space and hence might be worth the price if you are looking for a car that ticks the boxes in these areas.
