2021 Subaru Outback Owner’s Manual

For many years the Outback name was used for a trim available on the Impreza and Legacy models sold in the 1990s and 2000s.

These versions were a lot different than the standard, they featured tough body panels with higher ground-clearance and many other off-road friendly equipment.

With the runaway success of these trims and the adoption by many of crossover SUV cars, the Japanese carmaker decided to shoot it off into its own model.

In 2010 the Outback officially became its own car built originally on the Legacy platform it looked similar though was bigger than the Legacy Outback before it.

Now the 2021 version of the car is built on the Subaru Global Platform that is shared with almost every car the company now builds, adapting it for each model.

This sharing of technology among the Subaru range allows investment to be tied into one chassis and pooled together more efficiently.

This innovation has led to the technology and driver-aids for each model being advanced quickly leading to the owner's manual being in much greater need.

To fully understand and appreciate all of these new additions the 2021 Subaru Outback manual on this page can be viewed online in your browser or printed off.
