Performance

This is where the key difference comes into play between the Outback and Forester Wilderness Editions. The Outback's version uses that midsized SUV's optional turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder, producing 260 horsepower with 277 pound-feet of torque. For the Forester, that small SUV's lone 2.5-liter four-cylinder produces 182 horsepower with 176 pound-feet of torque.

Of course like all new Subaru models, both Wilderness Edition SUVs come with the standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system for added traction and control.

Appearance

Both of these Wilderness Edition models add some significant styling to both the exterior and inside, with black cladding and revised grilles, bumpers, headlights and more. For both appearance and utility, the added ground clearance for the Outback Wilderness Edition (9.5 inches) and the Forester Wilderness Edition (9.2 inches) provides a rugged performance style.

You'll also outfit your SUV with a specialized roof rack, which carries 220 pounds for the Forester and 200 pounds for the Outback while on the move, and up to 800 pounds with special setups when static. The Forester Wilderness Edition includes a standard moonroof, while you'll have to select a different Outback trim level for that option.

For the special upholstery the Wilderness Edition setups add, you'll find water-repellant simulated leather with the Outback and seats covered with a water-resistant material for the Forester.
