If you're looking for genuine all-weather abilities, tonnes of safety technology and lots of interior practicality, the Subaru Outback has plenty going for it. It's a sensible choice for private buyers thanks to its reasonable buying costs for the entry-level version and decent resale values. It's not the most pleasant car to drive, though, and high emissions count against it as a company car choice.

The top-tier Touring is trimmed with fine nappa leather and has an 11-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.

This is the only engine option. It's a 167bhp 2.5-litre petrol which does the job, but there are much faster – and more economical – rivals out there.
