With the $3,090 EyeSight option package and a destination charge of $850, the final sticker came to $34,635. The 2.5i Limited we tested has a base price of $30,395. The 2016 Subaru Outback comes in four trim levels, starting with the entry-level Outback 2.5i at $24,995, and ending with the top-of-the-line Outback 3.6R, the only model with a six-cylinder engine.

And although we've tested the StarLink infotainment system in several other Subarus and know its qualities and quirks quite well, connectivity was problematic in the Outback. That said, our test car had disappointing acceleration and rough road manners. Otherwise, the 2016 Outback still offers standard all-wheel drive, diverse in-dash connectivity, and comprehensive and convenient driver assists. These include the addition of automatic crash notification and stolen vehicle recovery to the StarLink telematics system, and lane departure prevention to the EyeSight suite of driver assists, as well as retuned steering and shocks. The Subaru Outback was redesigned for the 2015 model year ($34,135.00 at Truecar) (Opens in a new window), so for 2016 it gets only a few tech upgrades and performance tweaks.
