Performance
Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Whether you're traveling around Carson City or your travels take you off the beaten path, both the Subaru Crosstrek and Outback models provide you with freedom and confidence wherever you go. All the new Crosstrek and Outback models come with Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, providing you with the best possible traction, control, and handling in any weather and on any terrain, allowing you to have more fun exploring the trails around South Lake Tahoe, CA.
Engine Options
The new Subaru Crosstrek lineup offers two impressive engine options. The Base Crosstrek model comes with a standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 152-horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque, providing a smooth and engaging driving experience on every outing to Sparks, NV, and beyond. All the other Crosstrek trim levels upgrade to a larger 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 182-horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque, giving you a more commanding and capable performance.
The new Subaru Outback lineup also offers two impressively strong engine options. The first is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder boxer engine with 182-horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque, putting you in full control behind the wheel. All the Outback XT and Wilderness models receive a sportier 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 260-horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, providing you with an exciting and agile performance as you're traveling through Reno, NV, or when you're kicking up dirt on the trails.
Towing Capacity
The Subaru Outback is better if you have large towing needs. The Subaru Crosstrek offers up to 1,500 pounds of towing capacity, plenty for towing your ATVs, dirt bikes, a small boat, or a trailer. The Subaru Outback offers standard towing for up to 2,700 pounds, giving you the advantage of towing larger loads. When properly equipped, the Subaru Outback can tow up to 3,500 pounds, making it great for campers, boats, and more.

The Subaru Crosstrek is a subcompact crossover SUV, while the Subaru Outback is a midsize crossover SUV. That means the Subaru Outback will have more space than the Subaru Crosstrek.

The Outback also has 32.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, while the Crosstrek has 20 cubic feet.
