Powerty Cargo Cover for 2015-2019 Subaru Outback - Retractable Trunk

Our review of the Powerty cargo cover finds it best suited to Subaru Outback owners with the power liftgate from model years 2015 through 2019 who want a near-factory fit and quick privacy for the cargo area. The single biggest reason to buy is the tailored fit and updated flap that eliminates the common gap near the 2nd row seats, so small items do not fall through and the cargo space remains concealed. Installation is straightforward and the retractable mechanism works like a window shade, making daily use easy.

Key Features

• Perfect Fit: Designed specifically for Subaru Outback with electric tailgate 2015-2019 so the cover follows the original vehicle radian and fits the cargo area closely.
• Update Version Flap: An added flap covers the gap between the cover bar and the 2nd row seats to prevent items from falling and improve privacy.
• Retractable Design: The roll-up mechanism lets you quickly extend or retract the shade for flexible use and easy storage when you need full cargo access.
• Premium Materials: Constructed from aluminium alloy and waterproof PVC with carbon fiber texture for durability and a clean factory-like appearance.
• Quiet Operation: Retract heads are sueded covered and the extension bar ends are chamfered to avoid rattles and protect the interior surface.
• Easy Install: Direct snap-on design allows for quick mounting and removal without special tools, suitable for most DIY installs.

Who It's For

The Powerty cargo cover is ideal for Subaru Outback owners from 2015 to 2019 who have the electric tailgate and want a simple, reliable way to hide luggage and belongings while maintaining a near-original look. It suits daily drivers who want quick access to the cargo area and occasional users who need a retractable solution that tucks away when not required.

This is not for owners of Outbacks with a manual lift gate; the product is explicitly designed for the power liftgate configuration. Buyers looking for heavy-duty security or lockable hard covers should look elsewhere, since this is a retractable shade focused on concealment and convenience rather than theft prevention.
