“We’re happy with where we’re at and it always gives us a good chance if things (styling) are different to see what people think before we get them to market.”Īsked about specific timings of if and when Australian Outbacks would get the aesthetic changes, Mr Read said he couldn’t discuss future products. We’re not sure when a facelift could come for the Outback “If you look at them in the flesh there are some subtle cosmetic differences between their Outback and our Outback, which are basically tuned for market,” Mr Read continued. Hence why we have an Australian-specification version. North American Outbacks are built in the USA, while Australian versions are imported from Japan. “There are a lot of similarities, but the US is running a slightly different timeframe for its MY23 updates,” said Mr Read. When will Australia see the updates?īlair Read, MD of Subaru Australia, told Chasing Cars that the Australian Outbacks hadn’t seen the visual updates due to different model year timeframes between the left-hand-drive and right-hand-drive variants. North American Outbacks feature wider and deeper front grilles, different LED headlights with reverse L-shaped driving lights below, larger LED fog lights and irregular-shaped enlarged plastic cladding around the wheel arches. Either way, the photos are here for you to be the judge. Some see a Joker-esque black cladded grin others suggest the headlights are crying giant plastic tears. The American Outback has a distinct look as a result. There’s abundantly more plastic cladding to its face, taking styling cues from Subaru’s upcoming Solterra electric car, the brand’s debut EV. ![]() So you can feel confident and in control on every journey – whether you’re nipping out to the shops or embarking on an extended road trip.Subaru Australia this month introduced its MY23 Outback range, lacking the aesthetic changes already seen in North American MY23 vehicles.īut why?
