Subaru Reveals New 2022 Outback Wilderness Anticipated This Summer
Are you ready to hit the trail in Subaru’s newest addition? The 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness, the first of its line, has taken what off-roaders already loved about the Outback and turned up the volume. With everything geared toward outdoor adventure, the Wilderness is basically good to off-road straight from the lot, with Motortrend noting that Subaru “honed in on the most popular off-road mods its owners like to execute to offer them from dealerships along with a factory-backed warranty.”
2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness Features
Subaru has taken its love and commitment to the outdoors and poured that into this vehicle. So many of the features are geared for off-roading, here are just a few highlighted on the website:
More ground clearance
The Wilderness offers 9.5 inches of ground clearance and comes standard with a front skid plate and redesigned front and rear bumpers. All of these are meant to maximize the ability to avoid obstacles in the road and improve approach, break-over and departure angles.
X-MODE
X-MODE is Subaru’s off-road setting, and the Wilderness offers a Snow/Dirt mode as well as a Deep Snow/Mud mode. These settings help moderate wheelspin, minimizing it or allowing spin depending on the situation. This mode will also assess downhill slope and use brake settings to help regulate downhill speed.
BOXER engine< The Wilderness comes with Subaru’s direct-injection turbocharged BOXER engine. Drivers will get 260-horsepower with 277 pound-feet of torque and 3,500 pounds towing. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
New front and rear gear ratio provides improved low speed climbing with the ability to tackle up to a 40-percent grade.
Off-road tires standard
One of the most expensive parts of upgrading a standard vehicle to an off-road animal is upgrading the wheels and tires. For the Wilderness, they come standard, offering 17-inch matte black alloy off-road wheels and all-terrain Yokohama GEOLANDAR® tires. You’ll also get a full-sized spare for mid-exploration repair.
Roof rails
These have been redesigned with Anodized Copper-finish accents to accommodate the weight of a rooftop tent for overnight expeditions.
Tough exterior
The Wilderness has a variety of other exterior features made to make your journey better, including exterior cladding for protection and an anti-glare hood with a matte black decal to help reduce frustrating glare from the sun.
Interior appointments
In addition to making the Wilderness perfect for off-road exploration, the interior features are both stylish and comfortable. Seating is covered with StarTex® water-repellent upholstery, provides Anodized Copper-finish accents and comes with the 11.6-inch STARLINK® multimedia system with both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.
