What You Get
Touring is the comfort-and-tech ceiling of the non-turbo Outbacks โ Nappa leather, every box checked. And we'll say out loud what the window sticker won't: the Limited XT costs less and adds the turbo.
Every box, checked at the factory.
The awkward math at this rung of the ladder.

The Honest Ladder
Two honest options below you. Limited at $41,715 saves $3,680 and keeps leather and power everything โ for a lot of buyers, that's 90% of the Touring feel. And the sideways move nobody at a dealership volunteers: Limited XT at $44,365 is $1,030 cheaper than Touring and adds the 260-hp turbo. If you hesitated even slightly reading that, the XT is probably your car.
Touring XT at $47,995 โ the same everything-tier with the turbo underneath, for $2,600 more. If you've already decided on Touring money, that's the last honest question to answer: at this end of the ladder, $2,600 for 80 more horsepower is the best value-per-dollar jump on the whole car. If the answer is still "I just want the quiet, plush one," Touring is exactly that, and we'll get you the number in writing.
No pressure either way โ we make the same honest recommendation whether you spend $34,995 or $47,995.
Name, number, "Touring" โ or just "help me pick." We handle the rest.
