The #StationWagon may still be a niche segment here in America, but if you're looking to buy one, the #SubaruOutback has been the best-selling model for years. Of course, some buyers demand more and luxury wagons have held a place in the US for quite some time. Volvo has been doing a luxury wagon for years and for 2020, the #V60CrossCountry gets a complete makeover its been needing. But for buyers looking to get something a lot different from an SUV, does #Subaru offer everything you want with the #Outback, or should you spend an extra $10-15k and get the #Volvo #V60CrossCountry?

40 is older, than 30. 50 is older than 40. And so on. 40 is a great age and if you take care of yourself, 40-52 are the best years overall. Not physically, but physically and experience-wise, the best years. Physically we can still have good tone but that starts to break down in the 50s.

Nice review! These are both on my short list of future cars. I had a Subaru wagon back in the 80's and have been driving Volvo's for 17 years, all bought new 2003 S60, 2010 S80, 2015 XC60. Both brands do things differently compared to the mainstream and that's cool to me. The Volvo's are just really expensive to maintain and repair so I'm thinking about giving Subaru a try. I have been lucky that the really expensive Volvo repairs happened under warranty including a major engine repair on the XC60. There are just too many $500 service intervals, and repairs on the Volvo's.

I’m glad you called out the Harman audio system in the Subaru. I bought an Ascent Toruing last year with the premium audio without hearing it before buying. I wasn’t expecting much, because, well, Subaru hasn’t had the greatest reputation on audio quality from past models. I was beyond pleasantly surprised when I took that first drive and fed it some quality tracks over CarPlay, it’s a damn good system and while it won’t touch the ultra high end stuff as this video notes, it’s far better than all the base luxury systems on the market. Go Subaru.

I would pick Subaru Outback even if they cost the same, because outback is faster, more fuel efficiency and it only requires regular unleaded fuel, has ventilated seats, more ground clearance, better off road, hands free tailgate, all driver assist features. (Including front camera). Also, I personally don’t care about panoramic sunroof, so the standard sunroof on outback is okay, and I personally think Harmon Kardon premium audio is enough for me. I can definitely see why it’s the best selling wagon.

Some thoughts: 1. The 2020 Outbacks can all fit a full sized spare tire. But only the Onyx XT comes with a full sized spare. 2. Yes, the Onyx XT sound system is throw away. But you can add the Rockford-Fossgate (can be dealer installed after purchase) and it sounds great. 3. The turbo in the XT reaches full torque at 2K rpm. And the huge inter cooler keeps it working well; just keep it clean periodically. 4. The Outback has a small sun roof, but less glass to break as you load up the roof.

I have not driven the new Subaru turbo, my current Subaru has the 3.6 6-cylinder. For 16k grand less, more power, more room, better functionality, better reliability, and better resale value, it’s the Outback hands down. Heck for $16k I could put one heck of a sounds system in it.

Thanks, Sofyan, for following through on my comparison suggestion! For me, the outside styling of the Volvo wins hands down. That, the transmission, panoramic sunroof, overall luxury vibe, better seats, and what I imagine would be a better dealer experience are the reasons I'd consider spending the extra dough--but it remains a tough call. There's also the issue of comparative off-road performance, where Subaru no doubt excels. Thanks again for the comparison.

Can confirm true... between the AWD algorithm and CVT the subbie is weaker off road. Not to say either car handle off-road well, both are soft-readers not proper off-roaders but I have a XC70 T6 AWD and my friend has a Subbie almost identical to this guy’s in the video and we played around off-road a few times on some of our easy and medium ATV trails but Volvo everytime it got kinda stuck you just turn off traction control (DSTC Sport mode) and nail the throttle until it figured it out which it always did because it stick nibble at brakes a bit to work out which wheel is floating vs biting but won’t cut power. The Subbie if it got stuck it was stuck, no amount of enabling and disabling things seemed to help, it would protect its CVT first and foremost plus the AWD algorithm was a bit more blind on the subbie like it aka most took twice as long for it to work out what wheel it need to free up which is a real issue because a lot of times that’s how you get more stuck if you can’t keep momentum. the Volvo had a delay too but not nearly as blind it felt like it knew which wheel it needs to fight with and the delay was more down to the haldex system’s delay. Also correcting lateral sliding where as Volvo with DSTC enabled (not sport) let it happen in a controlled fashion If I can keep my foot planted and was steering and hold a slide in the mud where as Subbie was beyond confused and was fighting to get traction. TL;DR: yes Volvo is better off road because it’s far more willing to throw rocks and burn rubber and dig itself out of problems, it also has much better AWD algorithm and makes sense in my mind as Volvo’s are Swedish and have to cope with snow by default which is extremely complex to figure out in computer algorithm that handles it for you and requires allowing for slip but not too much and maintaining momentum.

I care about reliability, powertrain, practicality, space, tech specs included, ....and sorry to say I can tell keith was been totally honest but you, just a little bit bias by Subaru....I can understand though...both great cars and competent vehicles and I'd pick the Volvo just because of looks and badge. cheers

Volvo’s use to be very reliable and was the safest car on the road. No, sadly Volvo’s reliability has fallen and is very pricey to repair. Subaru has made great strides to improve their reliability and the Outback is now one of the safest car on the road, surpassing Volvo. One of my brother-in-law’s and his wife own a Volvo 60 sport utility. It is very comfortable, has plenty of horsepower and torque. They also own an Outback. At 200K miles, the Volvo needs some major repairs. Their Outback has 275K miles and have no problems. My other brother and sister in law buy Outback’s exclusively. She puts 50K miles on her newest (2020 ) Outback a year. She has 100K miles on it. Their last Outback had over 300K miles on it, when she hit a deer and totaled it. Last November I bought my wife a 2019 Outback. It only had 5,600 miles on it when I bought it. Her Subie has 16K miles on it now. We don’t like the CVT transmission and the 2.5 naturally aspirated engine is a bit too gutless for me, but my wife LOVES it for her commute to work. I enjoy driving it as it is also our road car. My 11 Rav 4WD Limited with a 3.5 V6 with 269 hp, has a LOT of pep and gets 26mpg at 75 on the freeway.

How timely! My wife’s Volvo V60 just got totaled in a flash flood and we bought an Outback XT Limited to replace it. The Outback beat the V60 and Audi Q5 on features. Price difference was not as dramatic as you might think. A loaded Outback XT is surprisingly close in price to a similarly equipped Q5

I needed a vehicle that was robust and capable of weekly commutes with weekend muddy tracks/muddy boots/muddy loads in the back. I looked long and hard at the V60 CC, and bought an Outback. I changed that outback the other week, after 3 years and 50,000 fairly hard miles, and I had a good look at was available again. I looked at the V60 CC once more. And this time, I bought another Outback. What swung it for me was that the Volvo demonstrator was coming up for a year old, and the interior had lots of marks on it, and the car just looked “shabby” and tired, despite being washed and polished. It had some scrapes on the sills, the guy saying it has been used to tow a trailer to horse events, Highland Games and game fairs. That normally means wet fields and getting bogged in mud. I also noticed a lot of interior fittings felt loose. That car only had 6,000 miles on it. So far the new Outback has excelled in its first 800 miles in snow, lots of ice, slush and mud, and a 2 hour motorway drive.

Size wise, the real comparison for the Outback is the Vovlo V90 CC. Although the v90 cc is truly expensive. I guess they just compared the V60CC to the Outback because the price gap is not that big.

This is the first review that picked the outback over the volvo. I have seen about 10 reviews. They all stated how much better the volvo was in build in quality etc. Also how it reminds once IE of your seat belt not bring on and then does not remind again for awhile. An adult wagon that is classy and clean.

As a longtime, multi Volvo owner, I have never, ever experienced a blown or a leaking head gasket on 'any' of my Volvos. However, I have heard that due to the Subaru sideways engine, these are prone to head gasket leaks. I find it strange that they didn't mention this.

Carmine Sica ne ero convinto all’acquisto e ne ho avuto la conferma utilizzandola. Credo anche in un ottimo compromesso tra qualità e prezzo anche per la manutenzione. Questo ottimo rapporto l’hanno capito negli Stati Uniti pur pagandola di più rispetto ai loro modelli americani, invece non lo capiamo noi in Italia pur pagandola meno di una premium tadesca e avendo qualità costruttiva migliore, ma d’altronde se non hai il virtual cockpit non la compra nessuno. La mia Outback costa come una Tiguan ben accessoriata, ma di Subaru nemmeno l’ombra e di VW è pieno il paese!

I think the real issue was the pricing of cross country models because the T5 XC is similar with a T6 V60, the normal V60 T6 beats the outback if the extra ground clearance is ignored, from a pure wagon stand point instead of crossovers.

You can’t talk about the Volvo without talking about important things you don’t see: full aluminum on the whole suspension and sub-frame, the much more sophisticated brakes, and the superior welding And body adhesives. The B&W is by actual measured tests the best sound system in any car from any brand under 90k. For someone that has the money, there is no comparison. No one needs the XC. Get the regular V60 with the T6 engine and you’re set.

Meh, Volvo may have wonderful aesthetics...there's no questioning their interiors are among the best in the luxury segment...and its construction & safety is still a brand hallmark, but the Japanese Aisin transmission. part-time Haldex based AWD, and turbo 4-cylinders aren't as refined as their past 5 & 6 cylinders engines, especially compared to the German makes. Engine & tranny match isn't smooth for its class, especially at $60k...and in XC60, interior materials are nowhere as nice as the V90. I'm not convinced Chinese Volvo is markedly better than when Volvo was American owned. Time will tell if Geely will really make Volvo thrive.

Maybe unusual but it's my debate I've had the last three months deciding on my next car. Outback XT won because yes, it's much less expensive, but I also like the visibility out better and it's larger enough to matter to me and my family of 4 with two little boys, 5 and 2. But man, I'd love one of those fireball red V60 CCs! I also appreciate the point that the Volvo is too pretty to get dirty. My wife thought the same thing.

Interesting comparison! I also enjoyed the perspective of a somewhat novice reviewer. Overall, the $17k difference between these two vehicles is not justified. This shows how far mainstream companies have come. The Volvo looks a lot better on the outside. Subaru has made an Outback that is less attractive on the exterior than the previous generation, with this iteration. The interior comparison is a lot closer, though, at least on camera. The biggest disappointment for me is that Subaru has not made this generation Outback available with a panoramic sunroof.

As I am not usually a fan of turbos I am focusing my encouragement on the same 1.8 Hybrid eAWD powertrain Toyota already uses with the Prius. As regards brown, I believe that color is available in Europe ;)
