Subaru Outback vs the Competition

Compare the Subaru Outback to Its Competition in Bourne, MA

The Subaru Outback continues to be the go-to choice for drivers who desire safe, comfortable transportation that's also outdoorsy and fun. Fully redesigned for 2026, the Outback is now even roomier and more sophisticated than ever.

Other mid-size SUVs offer similar features and styling, but none can compare to the overall mix of performance, technology, and value that the Outback provides. At Atlantic Subaru in Bourne, MA, we're happy to explain why.

Standard Features

Each Subaru Outback trim includes rewarding amenities you'll love, including the base Premium model. It comes with synthetic leather upholstery, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and a slew of driver assistance features from the Subaru EyeSight suite. Standard heated front seats keep you cozy on chilly mornings in Barnstable.

The Toyota 4Runner is similar in size to the Outback, but it comes standard with cloth upholstery. The Honda Passport is a mid-size SUV with leather and cloth upholstery; however, it has a shorter list of standard safety features than the Outback.

Pricing

Despite having just as many or more standard features than its closest competitors, the Subaru Outback has a lower starting MSRP. Customers from Plymouth can more easily afford a new Outback, as its base price is over $8,000 less than the Toyota 4Runner and more than $11,000 less than the Honda Passport.

Performance and Capability

The new Subaru Outback delivers well-rounded performance, with exceptional off-road capability and terrific fuel economy. Even with its all-terrain aptitude, the Outback also rides smoothly on paved streets in Falmouth. When properly equipped, the Outback earns an EPA estimated 25 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, letting you make fewer trips to the gas pump in Hyannis.

The most efficient configuration for the Toyota 4Runner only achieves 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. The Honda Passport returns an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway in its most economical setup.

With standard Symmetrical all-wheel drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance, the Outback can get you around in some of the most challenging conditions you'll face in the Cape Cod area. Wilderness trims have 9.5 inches of clearance.

The Toyota 4Runner only has 8.1 inches of standard ground clearance, while the Honda Passport has just 8.3 inches of clearance across its lineup.
