All-New 2026 Subaru OUTBACK - Reveal

Subaru of America, Inc. today revealed the all-new 2026 Subaru Outback at the 2025 New York International Auto Show.

The new 2026 Subaru Outback is available with a revised 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine, making 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, paired to a Lineartronic® CVT (continuously variable transmission) with 8-speed manual shift mode, and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Available on Outback XT models and exclusive to Outback Wilderness, a 2.4-liter turbocharged Subaru BOXER® engine delivers 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, paired with a Lineartronic® CVT with 8-speed manual shift mode and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.

All trims of the Outback are equipped with a revised X-MODE® system for better performance off-road in a variety of conditions. X-MODE can now be toggled via a steering wheel-mounted switch so drivers can keep their eyes on the trail ahead. A revised Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system offers faster center differential lockup for reduced wheelspin and incorporates steering angle data for better stability at turn-in and cornering on higher-speed roads.

The 2026 Subaru Outback will be available in Premium, Limited, Touring, Limited XT, Touring XT, and Wilderness trim levels when it goes on sale in late 2025.

Wilderness Features

The styling of the all-new 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness builds on the ruggedness of the seventh-generation Outback’s design with powerful elements and performance upgrades throughout. The SUV includes standard ladder roof rails with measurement markers and an 800-pound static load capacity rating (220 pounds dynamic) with improved rope hooks, enforced underbody protection and round LED hexagonal fog lights, allowing for off-road adventure at any hour. Matte black side mirrors, side cladding, headlamps, expanded front bumper, and SUBARU grille visually communicate the durability and toughness of the all-new Outback Wilderness, while anodized copper-finish exterior accents, including on the roof rails, fog lights, and reverse lights signal Wilderness functionality.

Inside, the 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness is equipped with animal-free interior seating surfaces via water-resistant and easily cleanable StarTex® upholstery. Anodized copper-finish interior accents are exclusive to the Outback Wilderness trim and, for the first time ever, Nappa leather upholstery with ventilated front seats, a moonroof, and a 360-degree Surround View Monitor are available on Wilderness.
