Introducing the 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness
Subaru today introduced the new, beefier variant of its Outback model. The Subaru Outback Wilderness 2022 features, according to the manufacturer, the dynamic assets of a car and more robustness, clearly targeting the brand's fans who are looking to push the adventure a little further.
The look
The Wilderness model borrows the refined and dynamic exterior of the Subaru Outback with some aesthetic elements that assert its rugged character. This includes a redesigned grille integrated into the new bumper, a revised rear bumper and larger wheel arches, and black on the side mirrors, window moldings, roof rails, grille and badges.
The hood is trimmed with a black stripe to reduce sun glare when driving off-road. This model is equipped with new, more aggressive off-road tires mounted on matte-black alloy wheels. Hexagonal LED fog lights provide better visibility in rough terrain. Finally, four underbody plates provide added protection: two under the engine, one under the transmission and one under the rear differential.

Capabilities
First and foremost, this Wilderness variant is all about advanced off-road performance. In addition to the familiar symmetrical all-wheel-drive system with constant grip and a 260-hp 2.4L direct-injection 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER engine, the off-road suspension allows for a higher ground clearance of 241 mm. The approach, overhang and ramp angles are also more pronounced than on the base model: 20 degrees (+1.4), 23.6 degrees (+1.9) and 21.2 degrees (+1.8) respectively.
