A Word from the Experts
Subaru UK Managing Director, Lorraine Bishton, shared her thoughts on the Outback's continued success:
“We’re delighted that the Subaru Outback has again been recognised as ‘Best Crossover’ by the team at Overlander 4x4. The Outback has been a trailblazer since it created the off-road wagon segment in the mid-1990s. As this award win shows, it continues to set new standards for the sector it spawned. Nearly 30 years on, it still leads the way with its ever-popular mix of practicality, safety and genuine go-anywhere ability.”
Alan Kidd, Editor of Overlander 4x4, further praised the Outback:
“The Outback’s a bit of an institution. It has been the definitive crossover since before they were called crossovers (and before it was called the Outback). When there was an army of pretenders to its throne, if you wanted a 4x4 estate to get you across Africa on dirt roads and sand trails, or up through the Yukon over hundreds of miles of snow-covered gravel highway, you just wouldn’t look at anything else. So, to give it some competition in 4x4 of the Year, we've put it up against some stellar opposition in the general Crossovers class – and it's still the one we'd turn to when we need a 4x4 worthy of the name. Simply put, Subaru wrote the book on vehicles like this.”
Since its launch in 1995, the Subaru Outback has grown in popularity over the years and is cherished by people around the world for providing the values of an everyday companion: safety, comfort, practicality, capability, and driveability.
