2019 Subaru Outback
2019 model year

What's new for 2019.

The 2019 model year marks the final year of the fifth-generation Outback, and Subaru makes its advanced EyeSight Driver Assist Technology standard on every trim level. This suite includes adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, and lane-keep assist. The base trim is also upgraded with a standard 6.5-inch STARLINK Multimedia system, and the instrument cluster is updated with a 5.0-inch LCD display on higher trims. These changes solidify the Outback's reputation for safety and value as it prepares for a full redesign in the following year.
