In terms of driving, a lot of it is in the details that go into creating a vehicle. These include the comfort of sitting behind the steering wheel, how easy the information is to access, and the ability to use the inside space according to your requirements. The Subaru Outback Touring incorporates all the details to create a premium version of a car and therefore becomes an appealing choice for your everyday ride.
It offers some of the special features from the Outback Touring, including Nappa leather seating surfaces, ventilated front seats, some upgrades to the driver assistance systems, and some unique exterior features. It is equipped with a naturally aspirated 2.5L SUBARU BOXER 4-cylinder engine (180 horsepower /174 lb-ft of torque) paired with the Lineartronic CVT.
For this reason, the Touring trim also focuses on comfort features in the cabin. The Nappa leather-trimmed seats help give the surfaces a touch of class, and the addition of ventilated seats in the front of the car provides a little cooling on hot Texas days. Heated seats and a heated steering wheel finish off the comfort.
The three flat seats are made to enable the driver to sit in a comfortable position, with cabin space to get comfortable when traveling longer distances. The powered seats with memory mean it’s easier to retain your most comfortable settings. These details all come in handy when the vehicle is being shared with friends or just driving longer distances.
Among the Touring’s most innovative features is its astonishing visibility technology. The 360-degree Surround View Monitor merges camera views to provide drivers with greater clarity into the landscape surrounding their vehicle when navigating confined quarters. Ideal when parking in garage parking lots, major shopping destinations, and unfamiliar locations.
Another feature of the Smart Rear-View Mirror is the ability to provide a camera-based rear view, which can be useful if your vision is blocked by passengers or cargo in the back of the vehicle. Power-folding mirrors also have the benefit of making it easier to maneuver your vehicle in a parking lot.
The Subaru 12.1-inch Multimedia System with Navigation delivers the entertainment, navigation, and supported smartphone features into a single, consolidated display. It allows drivers to view valuable information without total dependence on their smartphone for directions. The Harman Kardon premium audio system provides a more luxurious listening experience.
Included in the Touring is the Eye Sight® Driver Assist Technology with Highway Hands-Free Assist. The Eye Sight system supports the driver when driving on applicable highways where the system is available. The driver must pay close attention to the road and be prepared to take control of the vehicle at all times.
The Touring’s styling adds to the aggressive styling of the Outback range. The 19-inch black alloy wheels with machine-finish accents and raised profile give the vehicle a confident stance on the road. Its proportions are practical too, staying true to the Outback’s reputation as a utility vehicle.
When the road turns wet in Plano or if you find yourself out on an unfamiliar road, you can have the confidence that the system is designed to distribute power to all four wheels for additional traction and stability. Designed to be combined with a more comfort-oriented equipment package, the Touring models are perfect for those who value comfort and convenience.
The Outback Touring is an ideal selection for buyers who prioritize interior materials and finishes, seat comfort, vision technology, and a premium audio system. Its features will particularly suit buyers who travel a lot and want a vehicle that feels welcoming and well-equipped.

Why is the Subaru Outback Touring a more expensive option in the line-up?
What sets the Touring apart are the cabin materials, passenger comfort, and visibility features. The interior has a more luxurious appearance thanks to the Nappa leather-trimmed upholstery, and the ventilated front seats will keep you comfortable on hot days. Additional features include a Harman Kardon premium audio system, navigation, a 360-degree Surround View Monitor, and a Smart Rear-View Mirror, which should appeal to those who’re interested in a more refined experience yet still value the Outback’s practicality.
What do ventilated front seats do for you on a hot day in Texas?
Ventilated front seats blow air through the surfaces of the seat to make for a more comfortable experience. While ventilated seats can be a huge boon when you get into your vehicle after it’s been parked for a warm summer day in Plano, they’re also great for long drives. Instead of using heated seats to bring warmth, use ventilated seats to make the ride more comfortable. Ventilation is just one of the many features in the Touring that will boost your enjoyment of the road in our area.
What does the 360-degree Surround View Monitor do on the Outback Touring?
The 360-degree Surround View Monitor takes images from some cameras around the vehicle, giving you a wider perspective of what’s around you. This can be particularly handy when parking into tight parking spaces, driving through tight spaces, or avoiding obstacles. It can be especially beneficial when your parking situation or the obstacles around your vehicle make it challenging for you to judge distances from the driver’s seat. Remember, this feature is a visual guide, and you should always look around for objects before driving.
In which situations can you use the Smart Rear-View Mirror?
The Smart Rear-View Mirror can show a camera view of the traffic behind the vehicle. This can be useful when passengers, luggage, or other cargo block a driver’s view through the normal rear-view mirror. It can provide an additional means for drivers to keep an eye on traffic behind them, complementing the view through an unobstructed conventional mirror. And the camera view can be especially convenient on long drives when the cargo space is packed.
Why is the Subaru Outback Touring better?
Long-distance journeys can be easier and more comfortable with the Touring, which offers plenty of thoughtful features to help. Nappa leather-trimmed seats, ventilated front seats, navigation, and a premium audio system help to provide a more enjoyable experience. Available Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive can add some added help in certain road conditions, with the EyeSight driver-assistance system available to provide extra support in some driving situations. Every driver has personal preferences about what feels comfortable, so test the seat, view, and steering during a test drive at Ewing Subaru of Plano.
