vs 2023 Toyota RAV4 in Lafayette, LA

It’s easy to go where love takes you in the new 2024 Subaru Outback. Built to blend in with the exhilarating outdoors, the Subaru Outback has remained a popular midsize SUV for wilderness enthusiasts and hobbyists for years. It can take on dirt trails and city streets alike, but its true home is discovering new paths on an adventure-packed weekend. Built to last, 97 percent of Subaru Outback vehicles sold in the last ten years are still on the road today (dirt or pavement).1 Now that’s quality! Plus, with a Hands-Free Power Rear Gate with automatic close and height memory function, keyless access with push-button start and reclining 60/40-split flat-folding rear seatbacks, you’ll have more than enough room for all the cargo and equipment you’ll need to take on your latest escapade. For a lifestyle that’s as flexible as you want it to be, let the new 2024 Subaru Outback take you there.

If you’ve been searching for the perfect off-road-capable SUV, the new 2023 Toyota RAV4 has more than likely popped up on your screen. It may be a reputable champion, but let’s see if it can hold its own next to the new 2024 Subaru Outback in the table below.

Between these two SUVs, we honestly thought there would be more of a fight. Despite being known for its off-roading capability, the new 2023 Toyota RAV4 fails to offer a turbocharged engine for its customers who like their power to be equally efficient and forces drivers to pay more for their all-wheel drive system on higher RAV4 trims. Meanwhile, the new 2024 Subaru Outback has its 2.4-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine as a viable upgrade and the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as the standard drivetrain. Inside the Subaru Outback, you’ll enjoy a massive amount of cargo volume (nearly six cubic feet more than the Toyota RAV4)2 plus the optional StarTex® water-repellent upholstery (compared to Toyota model’s SofTex® cloth material). Tech gurus will fall in love with the available SUBARU STARLINK® 11.6-inch Multimedia Navigation on the Subaru Outback, which clearly presents a larger picture of what's going on than on the smaller, available 10.5-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system on the Toyota RAV4.

We’ll stop ragging and let you decide for yourself. There's no better way to get to know a vehicle than test-driving it. Stop by Giles Subaru today to see for yourself how the new 2024 Subaru Outback compares to the competition
