"As anyone who has lived in regions that experience snow, sleet, hail, blizzards, and extreme cold temperatures will tell you, not just any car can take you where you need to go. During inclement weather, wheels and brakes can function differently than on dry roads. A driver's visibility could be limited, and road signs and road markings can become covered."
"Drivers need to remain extra alert and able to make quick decisions. Some features of a vehicle that can help counter these altered conditions include all-wheel drive, excellent safety ratings, vigorous safety testing, multiple safety features, excellent high and low beams, superior braking systems, interior heating reliability, and a decent driver assist package never hurts either. Vehicles marked "not rated" were not re-tested for the exact model year, though many have crash data from prior years."
"Thanks to Subaru's standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and the availability of X-MODE / dual-function drive modes (Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud) on Wilderness trims, the 2025 Outback is built to handle slick, snowy roads. Its generous 9.5 inches of ground clearance (on the Wilderness variant) helps it traverse deeper snow without bottoming out. Plus, Subaru's long reputation for reliable AWD makes this a go-to for drivers in regions where winter conditions are recurring."
Winter driving alters wheel and brake performance, reduces visibility, and can obscure road signs and markings. Drivers must remain especially alert and prepared to make quick decisions in these conditions. Vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive, strong safety ratings and testing, multiple active safety features, effective lighting, superior braking, reliable interior heating, and capable driver-assist systems enhance winter safety. Some models include higher ground clearance and specialized drive modes for deep snow. The 2025 Subaru Outback combines standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, X-MODE dual-function drive modes on Wilderness trims, and up to 9.5 inches of ground clearance for improved snow performance.
