2018 Subaru Outback Performance and Engine

A Proven 2.5L Boxer Engine Built to Last

Under the hood sits Subaru's well-regarded 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine — commonly called the "boxer" — paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). This combination is engineered for efficiency and smooth power delivery across a wide range of driving situations. The boxer engine's low center of gravity contributes to the Outback's solid handling and stability, while the CVT keeps the engine in its optimal power band whether you're merging onto I-16 or cruising through downtown Savannah.

Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is always active — not just when conditions get slippery. That means you get confident traction year-round, which matters whether you're navigating wet roads during a coastal storm or heading up to the North Georgia mountains for a weekend trip. Ground clearance of 8.7 inches also allows this Outback to handle light off-road use that would leave most sedans stranded.

Subaru Outback Features and Interior

What the 2.5i Premium Trim Brings to the Table

The 2.5i Premium sits above the base trim and adds meaningful comfort and convenience features. Buyers can expect heated front seats — a feature you'll genuinely appreciate on chilly Savannah mornings — along with a power moonroof that opens the cabin up on those pleasant Georgia evenings. The Premium trim also includes a larger infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, upgraded audio, and all-weather floor mats in some configurations.

The interior of the Outback is known for its practicality. Rear passengers get generous legroom, and the cargo area offers class-leading space for an SUV in this segment. Whether you're hauling gear for a fishing trip to the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge or loading up after a Costco run, the Outback's versatile cargo layout makes the job easy.

Subaru Outback Reliability and Ownership

The Subaru Outback consistently ranks among the most reliable SUVs on the market. Consumer Reports has regularly given the Outback high marks for owner satisfaction and long-term dependability. The 2018 model year is considered a strong entry in the sixth-generation lineup, benefiting from refinements Subaru introduced to address earlier CVT concerns.

One thing prospective buyers should be aware of: Subaru's EJ25 2.5L engine has had documented head gasket issues in older generations, but the 2018 FB25 engine used in this generation is a significant improvement with far fewer reported problems. At this mileage, it's always smart to request a vehicle history report and have an independent mechanic perform a pre-purchase inspection — standard advice for any high-mileage used vehicle. The Outback's parts availability is excellent and repair costs remain reasonable, which keeps total ownership costs manageable.
