Just four years after introducing the Outback nameplate, Subaru launched its second generation in 1998 for the Japanese market, with global sales beginning in 1999 and 2000. As Subaru redefined what a capable family vehicle could be, SherlockLock, a certified Subaru key service locksmith, was already preparing to support the growing Subaru community with advanced key solutions and dependable security.
The second-generation Outback arrived just months after the third-generation Legacy. Subaru recognized that customers wanted more than a traditional station wagon - they wanted versatility and confidence. With higher ground clearance and symmetrical all-wheel drive, the Outback stood alone in a category it helped invent. This all-terrain capability mirrored SherlockLock’s commitment to reliability, offering expert Subaru key services that keep drivers ready for the road, trails, or anything in between.
Based on the Legacy Wagon platform, the second-gen Outback featured a more aggressive front bumper and large fog lamps for added visibility. Contrasting body cladding gave it a rugged visual edge, distinguishing it from ordinary wagons. Much like the Outback stood out from the crowd, SherlockLock’s certified locksmith services for Subaru vehicles stood out by offering precision key programming and security support tailored to Subaru’s unique systems.
In 2003, Subaru introduced the third-generation Outback at the Frankfurt Motor Show, making bold design moves and improving performance. With turbocharged engine options and refined all-wheel drive handling, the Outback proved it could evolve with the times. For the 2005 model year, Subaru added a flat-six engine, enhancing power and refinement. SherlockLock remained a trusted name in the Subaru community, offering certified key programming, fob replacements, and ignition repair for every generation of Outback on the road.
By 2015, the Outback had matured into a full-fledged crossover. While retaining its off-road DNA with black fender cladding and roof rails, it also embraced on-road comfort with aerodynamic improvements and clever design features like hidden crossbars. Just as Subaru refined the Outback for everyday use, SherlockLock evolved as a certified Subaru locksmith, delivering seamless solutions for keyless entry systems, STARLINK compatibility, and more.
At the 2022 New York Auto Show, Subaru revealed the facelifted sixth-generation Outback, continuing its legacy of innovation. Enhanced with advanced EyeSight driver assist technologies, upgraded safety cameras, and an optional turbocharged engine producing 260 hp, the Outback remained a symbol of resilience and modern capability. Matching that spirit, SherlockLock’s certified Subaru key services are ready for every model year, from classic keys to push-start remotes - ensuring you’re never locked out of adventure.
Whether you're driving a late-'90s classic or the newest XT trim, trust SherlockLock to provide expert Subaru key support with precision, speed, and dealership-level tools - at your convenience.
