On the other hand, the Outback offers another more powerful engine configuration: the 2.4L turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine that delivers 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque.
Although the Outback is a bit more powerful, both vehicles can take on any road surface with ease. That's because they each come standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
