Subaru’s 2020 Outback Priced $300 Higher with New Features

Plus, the debut of Outback Onyx Edition XT.

Subaru’s long-running SUV wagon is all-new for 2020 and will start at US$26,645 and C $30,695 for the entry-level model powered by the updated 2.5L engine, arriving this Fall 2019. Topping out at $39,695 for the 2020 Outback Touring XT in the US, and $43,795 for the Premier XT in Canada. Full price list at the end of this post.

Here’s our complete 2020 Outback review with driving impressions.

In the US, available in Base, Premium, Limited, Touring, Limited XT and Touring XT models, Subaru adds a new Onyx Edition XT to the mix (sitting between the Touring and Limited XT). Canada’s Outback trims are slightly different and it doesn’t appear it will receive the new Onyx Edition.

Outback shoppers looking for more unique exterior and interior features to ramp things up are in luck. The Outback Onyx Edition XT will start at US$34,895.

Building on the Premium trim with the 2.4L turbo, the first-ever Outback Onyx Edition XT gets a more blacked-out vibe with the addition of black-finish exterior elements, 18-inch alloy wheels and badging, and an exclusive gray two-tone interior.

All are built on Subaru’s new global platform and are shared with other models, including the compact Crosstrek and full-size Ascent.
