The Outback and Forester models from Subaru are always a little tricky when it comes to sorting and classifying vehicles. They’ve been around for seemingly forever and they don’t follow the same styling norms as “regular” SUVs. Still, and maybe because of that, both are compelling choices, and very popular among a certain subset of consumers.

The Forester got a big revision last year so it’s a pretty modern product all around. The Outback is getting its overhaul for 2020, and we’ll be encountering it for the first time in the coming weeks.

Frankly, it doesn’t really matter what we say or not about these two Subarus. Those who buy them love them and are already believers.

From our review:

“For 2019 Subaru is introducing the fifth generation of its Forester, which now benefits from additional interior space, a tweaked engine and a new Sport mode. And on all fronts, the impression you get is of forward progress.”
