car_truckWith just 28,658 kilometres on the odometer, this 2025 Subaru Outback Wilderness has already proven what many owners discover later: few SUVs in its class combine serious off‑road intent, long‑distance comfort, and everyday technology as seamlessly as this one. Purpose-built as the most adventure-focused Outback variant, the Wilderness trim backs up its look with real substance, from its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and off-road ride suspension to robust skid-plate protection and full-size spare tire practicality.
Inside, the cabin feels modern and focused around technology, led by a large 11.6-inch primary touchscreen that becomes the nerve centre of your drives. Here, Apple CarPlay integration stands out as a daily game-changer: simply connect your iPhone and your familiar apps, calls, messages, Apple Maps or Waze, and playlists appear in a clean, intuitive layout on the vertical display.
Voice control lets you dictate messages and select music without taking your hands off the heated leather steering wheel, helping keep your attention on the road while still staying connected. The deep integration with CarPlay makes this Outback feel like an extension of your smartphone, especially useful on long trips or during rush-hour commuting.
Android users are equally well served with Android Auto smart device mirroring, designed to bring your Google ecosystem to the forefront. Navigation via Google Maps, podcasts, audiobooks, and Google Assistant voice commands are all right at your fingertips on the same 11.6-inch screen. The system makes it easy to transition from phone to vehicle, so you can begin a route on your device and seamlessly continue it on the Outback’s display.
Combined with front wireless smart device charging and four USB ports, both Apple and Android users can keep devices powered and integrated on every journey.
Audio quality matches the technology interface. A 576-watt amplifier and Harman/Kardon speakers, including 12 speakers strategically placed throughout the cabin, deliver clear, rich sound whether you’re streaming Bluetooth audio, using the Aha internet radio capability, or enjoying AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio (with a three-month trial included). Speed-sensitive volume ensures your music remains balanced as road and wind noise change.
The Wilderness trim’s SUV credentials are more than cosmetic. Subaru’s Symmetrical Full-Time All-Wheel Drive and X-MODE driver-selectable drivetrain modes work with the Active Torque Vectoring and an off-road-tuned suspension to enhance traction and control on loose or uneven surfaces.
A dedicated underbody skid plate, full-size spare tire with steel wheel, two front and two rear tow hooks, and 100 kg maximum roof rack load underscore its readiness for rough trails or heavily packed road trips.
Power comes from a 2.4L intercooled turbo H-4 engine producing 260 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed Lineartronic CVT featuring a lock-up function and sequential shift with steering wheel controls. This combination aims to balance confident acceleration with efficient cruising, assisted by Auto Stop-Start and a transmission oil cooler for added durability under demanding conditions.
Subaru’s EyeSight driver assistance suite adds another layer of assurance. Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centring Assist, Pre-Collision Braking with pedestrian detection, Automatic Emergency Steering, Sway Warning, and Pre-Collision Throttle Management help monitor traffic and surroundings, while Reverse Automatic Braking and a rear camera with washer assist in tight parking situations.
Blind Spot Detection, High Beam Assist, Steering Responsive Headlights, hill descent control, and Hill-Start Assist Control further support driver confidence in a wide range of environments.
Comfort and practicality have been carefully considered. Heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control with voice activation, and a sliding/tilting glass sunroof create an inviting space in all seasons. Leatherette upholstery, piano black and metal-look interior accents, and full carpet floor coverage add a refined touch, while rubber floor mats and a vinyl/rubber cargo mat are ready for mud, snow, or gear. The rear seats offer 60/40 folding capability and manual reclining, complemented by a roll-up cargo cover, cargo area tray/organizer, tie downs, and a spare tire mounted under the cargo floor.
Daily usability remains a strong point, thanks to keyless access with push-button start, power liftgate with proximity cargo release, power windows with one-touch up/down in front and rear, and MySubaru mobile app access with remote start and STARLINK Connected Services (three-year trial).
From advanced connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to genuine off-road engineering, this pre-owned 2025 Subaru Outback Wilderness stands out as a highly capable, technology-forward SUV ready for both weekday duty and weekend exploration.
