When looking for an SUV, the 2022 Outback is often the go-to option for many, although some wonder how the Honda CR-V stacks against it. These two models lead the pack in the SUV segment, but they have some differences in terms of their interiors, exteriors, and engine options, making them excellent competitors.
Inside the Outback, you will have various upholstery options to pick from, starting with cloth seating as standard, and you will find leather or Nappa leather on the higher trim levels. As for infotainment systems in the Outback, it features a 7.0-inch touchscreen as standard, while an optional 11.6-inch tablet-style touchscreen is a notable upgrade that can also include navigation capabilities. Other optional interior features include a Harmon Kardon premium audio system, dual-zone climate control, heated front and rear seats, and ventilated front seats. As for the CR-V's interior, you can expect cloth seating on the base model and perforated leather-trimmed seating on the higher trim levels. The infotainment system inside the Honda features a 7-inch touchscreen available on the two top trims, the Touring and Black Edition. Similar to the Outback, the CR-V has standard front heated seats and optional heated rear seats. However, it lacks the option for ventilated seats, making it less comfortable for hot summer days, which are a must-have for models with leather seating.
Standard exterior features for the Outback are body-colour exterior accents, LED turn signals, power-adjustable heated door mirrors, LED foglights, fully automatic headlights that are steering responsive, a spoiler, and 17-inch steel wheels with covers. 17-inch and 18-inch aluminum wheels are available in various styles and finishes. Also, higher trim levels have other premium features, such as a power sunroof and chrome exterior accents.
For the Honda CR-V, you can expect standard exterior features such as an active shutter grille, splash guards, front wiper de-icer, heated power door mirrors, and rear window defroster. As optional, you can add features like LED foglights, LED headlights, one-touch power moonroof, roof rails, dual exhaust with chrome finisher, and a power tailgate with programable height.
Engine & Specifications Comparison
The 2022 Outback gets two engine options, both being under the BOXER platform. The standard engine is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine capable of 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque, providing a healthy balance between performance and fuel efficiency. Upgrading to the 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder increases output figures to 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, allowing for much quicker acceleration to highway speeds. The 2.5-litre gets the Lineartronic CVT, while the 2.4-litre turbocharged engine pairs with a High-torque Lineartronic CVT; however, both engines have the eight-speed manual mode and get the Subaru symmetrical full-time all-wheel-drive system.
On the other hand, the 2022 CR-V has only one engine option across its entire lineup, but it has a front-wheel-drive as the standard drivetrain while an all-wheel-drive system is available a trim level up from the base model. The CR-V's 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine can produce 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque, and it mates to a CVT for optimal fuel efficiency and performance.
