At Colonial Subaru of Feasterville, many families from Feasterville-Trevose, Philadelphia, and Southampton, PA, ask us if the Subaru Outback checks all the boxes. In short—yes, it does. The Subaru Outback continues to be one of the most reliable and family-friendly SUVs on the market. Here's why it stands out for parents and kids alike.

Subaru is known for safety, and the Outback is no exception. Every 2025 Subaru Outback comes standard with EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which includes features like:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking

These tools work together to help reduce accidents and protect what matters most—your family. In addition, the Outback has consistently earned top safety scores from the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety), making it a smart choice for safety-conscious buyers.

Spacious Interior Built for Families

One of the most family-friendly features of the Outback is its spacious interior. With up to 75.6 cubic feet of cargo space and plenty of room for five passengers, this SUV makes daily errands, weekend getaways, and school drop-offs easy and comfortable.

Parents will appreciate features like:

  • Rear seat vents for climate control
  • Wide rear door openings for easy car seat access
  • Split-folding rear seats for added versatility
  • Ample rear legroom so kids (and teens) have space to stretch out

  • Standard Apple CarPlay® and Android™ Auto
  • Available Wi-Fi connectivity
  • Built-in navigation on select trims
