Subaru Outback 2021 review: Is this high-riding wagon a better alternative to a Toyota RAV4?

The Subaru Outback is a car you just know. You know it's a station wagon that thinks it's an SUV, and that's how it's been for years now. In fact, the first-generation model launched back in 1996, a higher-riding Liberty wagon with a few stylistic changes and the famed boxer engine and Symmetrical AWD that Subaru is now synonymous with. Over the previous five generations of Subaru Outback, the brand has honed the formula, and with this new 2021 Outback model - the sixth-generation model - the changes have been incremental but important. Australia misses out on some of the more desirable changes that are seen in the Outback in other markets - there's no turbo engine here, and nor is there a hybrid - so does the large wagon-slash-SUV make sense when you consider it against other closely priced rivals like the Toyota RAV4?
