The Outback Touring XT is the perfect wagon-style SUV with even more to offer: turbo performance, a premium interior, and standard all-wheel drive. You can be at ease whether it’s your daily commute to work, family road trips on the weekend, or your teenager’s three-hour drive to school; the Outback Touring XT is sure to keep up. Our team at Ewing Subaru of Plano can help you discover the right Outback for you!
With the Lineartronic CVT, Subaru performance-minded drivers will enjoy the planted wheels and drivetrain ready to pass and seamlessly cross over 2000-3000-foot rollers on the Dallas North Tollway, I-35, and 121 SH. As always, you will take comfort in the locked-in symmetrical all-wheel drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance, which ensures clearance when crossing flooded intersections, 2-R lane gravel roads,s and steep driveways. The rough 3,500-pound tow capacity was well enough for a camper or utility trailer.
The Touring XT features the most upscale seats in the Outback: leather-trimmed seats (with seat heat and ventilation in the front seats, as well).
Audio: Enjoy a road trip of premium sound where those long miles fly by.
Apple CarPlay & Android Auto plus a large touchscreen with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto and Subaru Starlink connected services.
Comfort extras: power moonroof, premium cabin materials (specified model years).
Eye Sight Driver Assist Technology, pre-collision braking, and adaptive cruise control help us avoid the headache of our commute. The vehicle model year you’re considering may also give you the chance to choose blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
We got you. Less than 100 degrees this summer? We’ll ride to whatever. Spring thunderstorms? Remember to bring your loved ones or friends for a good handful of camping excursions for the AWD build of Touring XT, so you’ll get more confident each time. An easy half hour or so to work; an easy half-day to the lake; an even easier half-century to the Hill Country.
Comparing the Touring XT:
Every Outback has its strengths. But right now, the Outback is the only one with AWD, wagon cargo, and turbo power from the get-go. The perfect comparison? A test run in the Outback.
The turbo is even more of a power pig than the pre-turbo engine, so just remember that if you’re trying to balance economy vs. power.

What are the Outback Touring XT differences?
Touring XT gets the turbocharged 2.4-liter BOXER engine, along with the most well-equipped Outback features such as luxurious leather-trimmed upholstery, an advanced sound system, and a greater level of comfort and convenience options. Other Outback trims start with a naturally aspirated engine and offer a more modest standard features list. Equipment packages tend to shift year to year, so be sure to check out the window sticker. Ewing Subaru of Plano can help you compare the Touring XT to the other Outback models.
What is the Touring XT’s horsepower, and can it tow?
The Touring XT has a turbocharged 2.4-liter BOXER engine (about 260 horsepower), a CVT transmission, and standard all-wheel drive. Towing capacity is up to about 3,500 pounds. Which is plenty for a small camper, utility trailer, or a few jet skis. Please confirm the rates of the models you’re interested in with Ewing Subaru of Plano before towing!
Is a turbo engine worth it, and how about the MPG? Turbo costs a tad in the extra power you get to pass and merge with if you often face traffic jams on North Texas expressways or do a lot of driving on end-to-end road trips. For what it’s worth, you will get generally slightly worse efficiency than with the base engines, so check the window sticker EPA estimates on any turbo variants you look at. If gas mileage is a consideration for you, ask about non-turbo Outback trims at Ewing Subaru of Plano.
Outback Touring XT VS Outback Wilderness or Forester?
The Wilderness provides even more ground clearance, aggressive all-terrain tires, trail-ready rugged hardware… While the Touring XT features all the comfort and convenience touches you’ll need for that final leg. The Forester is more upright and compact, making it simpler for some drivers to get in and out of… And they all fit different lifestyles. Come compare with our Ewing Subaru of Plano team.
