Overview

• The 2026 Subaru Outback debuts with a more aggressive, SUV-like design, marking a departure from its station wagon roots.
• Two Boxer engine options include a reworked 2.5-liter with 180 horsepower and a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine with 260 horsepower.
• The updated symmetrical all-wheel-drive system offers faster center differential lockup and reduced wheelspin for improved off-road capability.
• Interior upgrades feature a 12.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and hard-button climate controls for enhanced usability.
• Production for the new Outback will take place in Japan, with standard trims arriving in late 2025 and the Wilderness variant following in early 2026.
