Built for the 606 and Beyond

Our inventory of new Subaru Outback models features engineering designed to master the specific seasonal and topographical demands of Chicago, IL drivers:

  • Pothole Immunity: Chicago streets are famous for their craters. The Outback comes with 8.7 inches of ground clearance (9.5 inches on the Wilderness trim), allowing you to glide over rough pavement on Irving Park Road without the jarring impact felt in sedans or lower crossovers.
  • Alley-Ready Traction: When the plows bury the entrance to your alley, the Outback's standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and X-MODE® provide the grip needed to break free. It sends power to the wheels with traction instantly, ensuring you aren't the neighbor asking for a push.
  • Highway Confidence: Merging onto I-90/94 during rush hour requires decisive power. The available 2.4-liter turbocharged BOXER® engine delivers 260 horsepower, giving you the surge needed to claim your spot in traffic or pass confidently on the outbound drive to O'Hare.
  • Winter Warmth: The biting wind off Lake Michigan is no match for the Outback. With available heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a windshield wiper de-icer, you can create a cozy sanctuary before you even leave your parking spot in Old Irving Park.

From the refined Touring XT to the rugged Wilderness, discover the wagon that defines Chicago versatility at Berman Subaru.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Subaru Outback in Chicago, IL

Is the Subaru Outback too large for street parking in Chicago?

Not at all. While the Outback offers impressive interior cargo space, its exterior footprint is surprisingly wagon-like, making it easier to maneuver than many full-size SUVs. Features like the Rear-Vision Camera and available Reverse Automatic Braking make parallel parking in neighborhoods like Portage Park or Lakeview manageable and safe.

How does the Outback handle Chicago potholes compared to a sedan?

The Outback is superior for Chicago roads thanks to its standard 8.7 inches of ground clearance and long-travel suspension. This allows it to absorb impacts from potholes, speed humps, and rough pavement on streets like Addison or Cicero much better than a traditional low-riding sedan, protecting both the car and your passengers.

Does Berman Subaru offer express service for city drivers?

Yes. We know Chicago drivers are busy. Our Subaru Express Service on Irving Park Road is designed to get you in and out quickly for routine maintenance like oil changes and tire rotations, often with no appointment necessary, so you can get back to your day without hassle.

Which Outback trim is recommended for Chicago winters?

While every Outback comes with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, we highly recommend the Premium trim or above for Chicago winters. These trims include the All-Weather Package, which adds heated front seats, heated side mirrors, and a windshield wiper de-icer—essential features for dealing with ice and snow during our long winter months.
