Chosen from competitors, including Honda, Toyota and Hyundai, Kelley Blue Book rated the 2016 Subaru Outback as one of the "16 Best Family Cars of 2016". For a 2-week period the experts at KBB tested and evaluated 24 vehicles focusing on safety, comfort, convenience, spaciousness for both passengers and cargo, and fit of various child safety car seats.
“For two weeks we drove, lived-with, folded down-seats-of, paired phones-to and installed-baby-seats-in each and every one of the contenders,” said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst of Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com. “We loaded cargo, contorted ourselves into third rows, watched movies on rear-seat screens, toted rowing teams to marinas – in short, we did everything that you and your family might do with a vehicle day-to-day.”
After critically analyzing their findings, KBB felt that when in comes to vehicles abnormally well suited for today's modern family, the 2016 Subaru Outback is the "Total Package". The 2016 Outback offers a confident design blended with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a versatile and spacious interior, award-winning safety technology, and outstanding fuel efficiency.
Spacious Interior
Freshly revamped for 2016, the Subaru Outback offers all the benefits of a wagon and an SUV, while offering the handling and performance of a passenger car. The 5-passenger Outlander returns an impressive 33 mpg on the highway with the standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, making it excellent for those family road trips.
Inside the cabin, each family member will appreciate its spaciousness – making room for both passengers and cargo. Behind the second-row seats a flat floor surface is ideal for luggage, but if additional space is needed for longer items, the 60/40 split rear seats offers a SUV-like 73+ cubic feet of flat surface storage space.
Innovative Safety Technologies
Features like the control and handling of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and an extensive protection system show that your safety is always at the forefront of Subaru design. Excelling in crash tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Subaru Outback earned the 2016 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award when equipped with the available EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology.
With passengers safety in mind, the EyeSight Assist technology monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and warns you when you're swaying outside your lane. In the event a potential collision is predicted, it can even help slow down the car or bring it to a complete stop to assist in avoiding a crash.
