Graduation season is upon us, which means we’re soon to see a slew of former high schoolers begin calling themselves college students. If you’re looking to send your son or daughter off to college with a new car, you might be wondering which Subaru vehicle is the best for college students. There are a ton of great options from which to choose, and certainly no option would be bad, but we think (and so do many others, including U.S. News & World Report) that the 2023 Subaru Outback is the brand’s best vehicle for college students. Read on to find out why.

Residual Value
One of the main reasons that the Subaru Outback makes such a great option for college students is its renowned residual value. Despite having a higher price tag than a lot of vehicles recommended for college aged drivers, the Outback will hold onto that value much longer, carrying your pride and joy not only through college but well beyond graduation.
Safety Features
Naturally, another reason the Outback is such a great option to get your child (or should we call them your adult now?) before sending them off to college is its reputation in safety. The 2023 Subaru Outback recently received a TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the highest designation the organization hands out. Not only that, but it’s been at least a TOP SAFETY PICK for the past fifteen consecutive years. Not only can we point to its achieved safety ratings to show you just how safe it is, but we can point to the fact that it comes standard with the award-winning Subaru EyeSight suite of driver-assistive safety features. In other words, not only will it perform well in the event of an unavoidable collision, but it will also help avoid collisions altogether as much as possible. This is thanks to technologies like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Pre-Collision Braking and more.
On top of all these great things to consider as a parent, your student should love the vehicle as well. It’s stylish and packed full of great features and amenities that should leave them and their friends enjoying each experience they have behind the wheel.
