Released in 2014 for the 2015 model year with the sixth-generation Legacy (previewed at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2013; the Outback followed at the New York Auto Show in April 2014), and still the Legacy Outback in Japan; elsewhere the Outback became a free-standing model line of its own. The unrelated Legacy-based "sports tourer" Levorg was shown in 2013 and first sold in 2014. Engines were the 2.5 L EJ253 SOHC and FB25 DOHC flat-fours at 170 hp, the 3.6 L EZ36D flat-six at 256 hp and the 2.0 L EE20 turbodiesel at 148 hp, with a Lineartronic CVT or 6-speed manual. A facelift arrived for 2018.

Owning one
An estimate, for the EE20 2.0 L DOHC turbodiesel (148 hp) trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

A wagon beat the SUVs at their own game: this Outback generation won Motor Trend's Sport/Utility of the Year award for 2010.
This Outback shared Top Gear's Car of the Year crown — an unusual honor for a jacked-up wagon to split with the Ford Mondeo in 2007.
For a few years, this Outback's six-cylinder trim came with genuine McIntosh audio — the same esteemed hi-fi name found in home theaters, one of the only cars ever to get it from the factory.
Subaru didn't have the budget for an all-new SUV, so it dressed up a Legacy wagon instead. A Subaru of America executive later put it bluntly: "[the Outback] saved our company."
Rivals

The original RS6 debuted Audi's clever hydraulic Dynamic Ride Control suspension — and enough owners got tired of its leaking dampers that they ripped the whole system out for plain coilovers.
The C7-generation RS6 Avant never officially reached America at all — buyers there got the RS7 Sportback instead, running the exact same engine and platform in a different body.
