2026 Subaru
Outback

The 2026 Subaru Outback hits showrooms with an all-new design that trades in station wagon vibes for a full-fledged crossover presence. Its chiseled looks combined with standard all-wheel drive deliver a go-anywhere attitude. The '26 Outback kicks off the nameplate's seventh generation with a modern cabin boasting an advanced infotainment system. It also gets a standard suite of the latest driver-assistance technology. The seven-trim lineup includes the Wilderness edition, which is differentiated by an upgraded suspension, all-terrain tires, and increased ground clearance, making it the most capable Outback version. The Wilderness and the trim grades above it get a turbocharged boxer engine for even more robust performance and increased towing capacity.
