Where will the all-new, completely redesigned 2026 Outback and 2026 Outback Wilderness take you? With the legendary capability of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, upgraded standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology
The Outback Lineup Features
Every 2026 Subaru Outback model features the capability of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. This system is designed to optimize traction in rain, snow, on bad roads, or even when there’s no road at all. It constantly evaluates acceleration, braking, and cornering in real time to continuously deliver power to all four wheels. If a wheel slips, power is instantaneously transferred to the wheels that have the most grip.
With its exceptionally balanced layout, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive delivers a solid connection with the road and an engaged, responsive drive. The entire system lies along the centerline of the vehicle, balancing weight distribution between the two sides to help provide optimal performance and control.

Each 2026 Outback model delivers competitive gas mileage and driving range. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive has demonstrated its durability and low maintenance over four decades of owner-tested Subaru vehicles so you can be confident your Outback will keep taking you farther year after year.
With up to 9.5 inches of ground clearance and standard X-MODE, Outback AWD midsize SUVs can take you almost anywhere. X-MODE works by optimizing the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system for maximum traction on slippery surfaces and Hill Descent Control gives you extra stability and confidence when descending more difficult grades. Dual-function X-MODE allows even more control with settings for snow, dirt, deep snow, and mud.

The 2026 Outback debuts a striking upright profile with a new grille, newly available 19-inch wheels, and clean, modern lines. The 2026 Outback Wilderness builds on that design with tough protective cladding, unique accents, and adventurous elements like an integrated exterior gear rest in the rear gate. Inside there’s a new digital instrument cluster, new premium materials, and more passenger and cargo space than the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, or Mazda CX-50
