What is the weight of the Subaru Outback?

[McBrantley]

Subaru Outback has a total weight of 2040 kg. Dimensions are 4817mmX1840mmX1673mm. Exterior of the Subaru Outback: The front grille features a glossy black design, enhancing the car's muscular appearance. It can automatically open and close based on driving conditions to reduce air resistance and improve fuel economy. Interior of the Subaru Outback: The size of the central control display has been increased, and the diameter of the leather steering wheel has been reduced, making it easier for the driver to handle. The dashboard uses white ambient lighting, and the waterproof-treated fabric seats further enhance passenger comfort.

I'm the owner of a Subaru Outback, specifically the 2021 2.5i version, with a curb weight of around 1,660 kg. Before purchasing, I carefully compared the data and found significant differences between configurations: the base model weighs just over 1,600 kg, while the top-trim turbocharged version approaches 1,700 kg. The heavier body indeed provides better stability at high speeds, especially with its exceptionally solid chassis during cornering. However, fuel consumption is slightly higher in city driving—my current average is 9.8 liters per 100 km. If considering the off-road version with roof racks and underbody protection, the weight increases by an additional 30-50 kg.

I've been following Subaru models for several years, and the Outback's weight has shown a changing trend across generations. For example, the 2015 model weighed about 1,580 kg, while the 2020 model increased to 1,630 kg, mainly due to the addition of the EyeSight system and new platform body reinforcements. The new 2.4T engine is about 50 kg heavier than the 2.5L, and the full-time all-wheel-drive system also accounts for a significant proportion of the weight. In actual driving, you can feel the weight distribution: the lower engine position lowers the center of gravity, making roll control during turns much better than most SUVs in its class, but the initial acceleration does feel a bit sluggish.

As family users, we specifically test-drove the Outback when choosing a car. The salesperson demonstrated both unloaded and fully loaded conditions, with a curb weight of around 1,680 kg, reaching approximately 2,100 kg when fully loaded with five passengers and luggage. This weight provides a significant advantage on icy and snowy roads. Last winter, driving on icy slopes, it was noticeably more stable than our neighbor's lightweight sedan. However, when shuttling kids to school in the city with frequent stops at traffic lights, it consumes about 10% more fuel compared to lighter models, adding an extra hundred or so to the monthly fuel costs.
