Subaru Ascent vs. Subaru Outback: Performance

The new Subaru Outback and Ascent lineup allows you to indulge in off-road adventures and enjoy any outing to Orem or on rugged trails that lead to any destination. All the Subaru Ascent and Outback models have standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.

The Subaru Outback comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine on the Base, Premium, Limited, Touring, and Onyx Editions models. The engine produces 182-horsepower and 176 pounds-feet of torque, while also supplying you with fuel economy that lets you save on any outing around Orem or across the country. The Subaru Ascent has a standard 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 260-horsepower and 277 pounds-feet of torque.

While the Ascent has the strong performance and ability to tow 5,000 pounds, over the standard 2,700 pounds from the Outback, the lineup of Outback SUVs has multiple models that match the output of the Ascent. All the new XT and Wilderness models have the sportier and stronger 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that comes in the Ascent. But with its accompanying its stature and weight, the Outback achieves a more agile and energetic performance.
