Whether you're looking for a safe car for your family or a rugged SUV for your adventures, the Subaru Outback has you covered. It's a versatile crossover that you can count on in just about any situation. Is it the right fit for you though?

Paul Miller Subaru finds out. We put this 2021 Subaru Outback review together to show drivers in Parsippany, Wayne, and Morristown, NJ what it can do for you.

2021 Subaru Outback Specs

There are seven Outback trim options to choose from, including the Limited, Touring, Limited XT, and Touring XT. Each model provides various differences in standard and offered features, whether it's exterior or interior. For example, stronger motor offerings are only available for models like the Touring XT.

The 2021 Subaru Outback is designed to deliver good fuel economy and a smooth, capable drive. It comes with standard all-wheel drive and runs on an efficient 2.5L 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER® engine. A Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) manages your drive and helps the Outback get up to an EPA-estimated 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway.

On top of offering an efficient drive, this powertrain can also help you carry some extra cargo. With 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque, you'll be able to tow up to 2,700 pounds. Check out the Subaru Outback towing capacity review.

If you'd like to haul a large trailer or a couple more recreational vehicles, you can go with a turbocharged 2.4L 4-cylinder engine instead. Its 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque bumps your towing capacity up to 3,500 pounds.

Nevertheless, each 2021 Outback comes packed with standard features, like the traction- and stability-enhancing X-MODE®. Choose from a variety of driving modes engineered to withstand various driving conditions. Certain trim options, like the Onyx Edition ET, includes dual functionality for added traction with Deep Snow and Mud settings.

2021 Subaru Outback Interior

You'll find plenty of room to stretch your legs in the Subaru Outback. It features seating for five and 109 cubic feet of passenger space. You can also add comfortable amenities like power-adjustable seats and heated seats in both rows.

In addition to offering lots of space in the cabin, the Outback can carry all your bags. It includes a large trunk and folding second-row seats that can help you pack more.

2021 Subaru Safety Features

From slick roads to rugged trails, the Subaru Outback keeps you safe and in control with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. It also makes sure everyone is well protected inside with eight airbags, including side-curtain airbags that cover both rows of seats.

You'll also have lots of smart safety features looking out for you. Every trim level comes with EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. It helps prevent accidents with standard features, such as:

• Pre-Collision Braking
• Lane Keep Assist
• Lane Departure and Sway Warning
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering

While EyeSight® gives you more awareness, the available DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System monitors how you're driving. It reminds you to keep your eyes on the road if it picks up any signs that you're tired or distracted.

Let the available Blind-Spot Detection ride with you as you maneuver the roads. This feature provides visual indicators on the Outback's side mirrors to allow for easy lane changes. Be sure to consider the available Rear Cross-Traffic Alert as well when you're looking for a seamless back-up job in the parking lot.

Additionally, the available Reverse Automatic Braking is a worthwhile consideration. This smart feature can automatically apply the brakes to help you avoid obstacles behind the 2021 Subaru Outback.
