Compare Subaru Outback vs. Toyota Highlander

The most obvious reason to choose the 2024 Subaru Outback over the 2024 Toyota Highlander is the price difference. Both vehicles come in numerous trim levels to balance a budget with premium features and added comforts, but the Subaru Outback offers more for less with a starting price over $8,000 less than the cheapest version of the Highlander. Not only will you pay more, but you'll get less since the Highlander doesn't include all-wheel drive unless you pay for the trim level over $13,000 more than the base Outback trim, which includes standard symmetrical all-wheel drive.

The Outback also comes with many of the same premium and luxury features available for the Highlander, including leather-trimmed upholstery, ventilated & heated seats, a premium sound system, a wireless charging pad, and much more. The Outback is more accessible for Shrewsbury drivers with affordable pricing that doesn't skimp on comfort and conveniences.

The Subaru Outback is a rugged station wagon with a smaller profile and convenient hatchback liftgate, making it versatile and easy to load and unload. The Highlander is much larger and even offers third-row seating. If you are looking for a vehicle that is easier to maneuver and user-friendly for city parking, then the Outback provides the best of both worlds when you consider going for a smaller vehicle or larger SUV. In the Outback, every seat is comfortable, and there is plenty of room for cargo without trying to squeeze in an unusable third row.
