Pull more weight.

Get ready to take on bigger adventures. The Passport Sport with available AWD can tow up to 5,000 pounds*—enough to pull a 22-foot boat or a 24-foot camper—while the Outback base trim is only rated for 2,700.

Keep the whole crew comfortable.

The Passport keeps temperatures ideal for you and your passengers with standard tri-zone automatic climate control. You can’t get that level of comfort and control in the Outback.
