What's new for 2014.

The 2014 Outback receives minor updates following its 2013 refresh. The most significant change is the expansion of the EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which now includes Adaptive Cruise Control as a key feature. The 2.5i Premium and Limited trims receive minor equipment adjustments, and the Special Appearance Package is updated with new gray-finish exterior accents.
