a 2020 outback is considerably larger in every dimension than a 2000 outback and rides quite a bit higher. it's no more a station wagon than any other crossover.
Seems 1.4 inches higher for ground clearance between 2000 and 2019 models.
I guess eye of the beholder.

2020 is 6 inches longer, and 4 inches wider.
8 inches higher overall. So yes bigger.
A 2000 outback is a (I'm going to stop just short of saying literally but I really want to) 1989 Legacy with redesigned cosmetic body panels, interior and some extra supported welded into places you can't see.
You'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between the stripped shells without looking at the head/tail light opening shaped. The pile of drive-train parts is more or less identical save a 5-gal bucket of minor stuff
