When adventure calls, the 2026 Subaru Outback answers with confidence and capability. This versatile crossover seamlessly blends the practicality of an SUV with the comfort of a premium wagon, creating the perfect vehicle for both daily commutes and weekend expeditions.

What's New for 2026
The 2026 Subaru Outback arrives with a whole new look. The new Outback is totally redesigned from the ground up, both inside and out. The exterior is designed to look more like an SUV. The front fascia features striking new LED headlights and a much larger grille.

Moreover, the Subaru Outback returns physical buttons and knobs for adjusting settings on the center console.
Performance That Inspires Confidence
At the heart of every 2026 Outback lies Subaru's proven horizontally opposed engine technology. The standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine produces 180 horsepower while delivering an impressive 25 miles per gallon in the city and 31 miles per gallon on the highway. For those seeking additional power, the available 2.4-liter turbocharged engine generates an impressive 260 horsepower. This turbocharged powerplant delivers 21 miles per gallon in the city and up to 29 miles per gallon on the highway, providing strong acceleration for merging and towing. Both engines feature auto start-stop technology to maximize fuel efficiency during city driving near Chicago.
Every 2026 Outback comes standard with Subaru's renowned Full-Time All-wheel-drive system, providing exceptional traction in all weather conditions. Hill Descent Control comes standard, adding confidence when navigating steep terrain. The Wilderness trim takes capability further with X-MODE® dual-mode system, offering specialized settings for snow/dirt and deep snow/mud conditions.
Interior Design That Welcomes
Inside the 2026 Outback, passengers discover a thoughtfully designed cabin that prioritizes comfort and functionality. The spacious interior comfortably accommodates five adults, with generous legroom and headroom throughout. Standard seating surfaces include durable StarTex® upholstery on Premium models, while higher trims feature perforated leather-trimmed seating or luxurious Nappa leather. Heated front seats come standard across the lineup, with ventilated seats available on Touring models.
Storage versatility defines the Outback experience, with 60-40 split-folding rear seats that expand cargo capacity for larger items, with up to 34.6 cubic feet in space behind the second row of seats. The power liftgate provides convenient access to the cargo area, while numerous storage compartments throughout the cabin keep smaller items organized and accessible.
Exterior Design with Purpose
The 2026 Outback's exterior design reflects its dual nature as both a capable adventure vehicle and a refined daily driver. Standing 67.5 inches tall and measuring 191.7 inches long, the Outback commands presence while remaining manageable in urban environments. The 108.1-inch wheelbase provides stability and contributes to the spacious interior. The Wilderness model offers 9.5 inches of ground clearance for tackling rough terrain.
Standard exterior features include LED projector beam headlights with auto-leveling and directionally adaptive functionality, ensuring optimal visibility in all conditions. The Wilderness trim stands out with its unique 17-inch matte-black wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires.
