6 Hidden Features on the 2023 Subaru Outback

 

Part of the fun of getting a new vehicle is learning about all the nifty features it has hidden away. And if the new vehicle you're looking at is the 2023 Subaru Outback, there's no shortage of new features for you to check out, some of which aren't even visible at first blush!

There are a ton of hidden features to pick from, but we've highlighted six of our favorite hidden features for you here!

1. An Automated Hand Gesture Tailgate

Automated tailgates almost always make use of foot or button features. The Subaru Outback mixes things up by allowing you to use a hand gesture behind the Subaru logo on the rear of the vehicle. Simply wave your hand in front of the logo and you can raise the tailgate!

If you don't like this feature you can always turn it off with a button on the steering wheel.

2. Universal Roof Rail Crossbars

If you look at the roof of a 2023 Outback, you'll notice that you don't see any roof rail crossbars. That's because the crossbars stay hidden on the side rails. You unlock the crossbars at the front and then you swing them out.

It's a unique way to give the 2023 Subaru Outback an outstanding feature without sacrificing any part of its appearance. 

3. Steering Responsive Headlights

Steering responsive headlights aren't something you'll likely notice until you're out on the road. But this simple but innovative feature gives you far more visibility when rounding corners and making other turns at night.

4. A Front Seat Cushion Extension

If you're a taller driver, the front seat cushion extension can be a lifesaver that you can't find in other vehicles. This feature gives you a longer cushion for the front seat, allowing you to stay comfortable in your own vehicle.

5. A Quick-Release for Lowering the Rear Seats

If you need to lower the rear seats, it's never been easier than with a 2023 Subaru Outback. There's a quick-release knob on both sides of the rear hatch that allows you to lower the rear seats quickly. When you're loading things up, there's no reason to even open up the side doors to get all your gear in the trunk!

6. A Cargo Cover Storage Area

The cargo cover is a useful feature, but sometimes when you're trying to pack a lot of gear it can get in the way. That's where the hidden cargo cover storage area can be a nifty feature. It keeps the cargo cover out of sight and out of the way, and when you're ready to put it back on it's already right in the car!
