Although the driver must keep a hand on the wheel, the system can effectively maintain lane position on its own during highway driving. The Outback has a comfortable and upscale interior, even if it still falls short of the top-spec Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy's ritzy cabin.

The Starting Market Average is a proprietary mathematical calculation based on actual recent transactions. It provides a statistically accurate understanding of what other buyers are paying for the least expensive configuration of this vehicle.
Adjustments to the calculation beyond make, model, and trim are normalized based on detailed, anonymized transaction information. This accounts for the fact that most or all recently-sold vehicles included different option combinations. The data underlying the Starting Market Average calculation are filtered for extreme outliers and subjected to a weighted averaging process that considers factors such as the recency of transactions and the timing of data lags.
In certain instances, the calculated result is adjusted to take account of abrupt changes in the market that may not yet be fully reflected by recent transaction prices. In all cases where the Starting Market Average is shown there is sufficient sample size and transaction detail to be statistically reliable. Explore Other Models Make. Select Model. View Lease Deals.
