Adventurous and Versatile
With an elevated ground clearance of 9.5 inches and standard front underbody protection, you can take the Outback Wilderness off-road into rougher terrain. New for 2026, the Outback Wilderness features electronically controlled dampers for improved traction and ride comfort. The unique front and rear bumpers have been designed for improved approach and departure angles so you can easily clear larger obstacles. The dual-function X-MODE® has also been retuned with settings for snow, dirt, deep snow, and mud that allow additional wheel slip to power through adverse conditions.

The Outback Wilderness off-road SUV features a standard 260-horsepower direct-injection turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine that delivers 277 pound-feet of torque and 3,500 pounds of towing capacity
The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system in the Outback Wilderness is designed to optimize traction in rain, snow, on rough 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.
