First Drive: 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness

Article content
Though generally inured from what might be considered a pretentious marketing cliché — were it coming from most other manufacturers hyping their latest sport-utes —  it doesn’t take an extreme sports type to appreciate the effort Subaru put into making the Outback a more attractive proposition to its outdoor-active customer base. Individually, the improvements to the crossover-wagon are small; collectively they add up.
To wear the Wilderness badge, the Outback has been significantly worked over stem to stern, the result being demonstrably enhanced off-road capability (more on this later). The key difference between it and other compact crossovers with specific off-road packages — think Toyota RAV4 Trail AWD, Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk and Ford Bronco Sport Badlands as the primary competition — is what Subaru says will be a minimal trade-off in on-road comfort and handling.
