Subaru Outback Comparison - Wilderness vs. Premium models

Wow! I can't believe the differences between these two Subaru Outback models. I've owned the 2022 Outback Wilderness for 2 years now and have recently had a 2024 Outback Premium as a loaner from the dealer for 5 days. Since these two Outback's are so incredibly different I wanted to share my experience with you in hopes that you may find this informative in your vehicle model comparison efforts.

The key differences I really noticed:

#1 - Engine. The 2.4L turbo in the Wilderness delivers a HUGE performance difference vs the 2.5L standard engine. I'll take the turbo all day in regards to its superior (in my opinion) performance even with the hit to fuel efficiency.

#2 - Suspension. I forgot to mention this in the video but the Wilderness feels tighter and drives more like a performance vehicle. The Premium just feels mushy and subdued. It also rides a little lower which I do notice.

#3 - The little things. Power tailgate, front view camera, key, upholstery, blind spot indicator, fit & finish, etc. These all add up and I've come to really enjoy the upgrades that come with the Wilderness and lend to the overall user experience.
