2026 Subaru Outback Review

 What's New for the 2026 Subaru Outback?

The 2026 Subaru Outback debuts with a complete redesign, offering a perfect balance of rugged adventure and modern refinement. Now available at Subaru Evergreen Park, this latest model enhances everything drivers love about Subaru's flagship SUV — from off-road capability to high-tech safety.

For 2026, Subaru has refined the Outback's design with sharper lines, bolder lighting, and a more confident stance. Inside, you'll discover more passenger space, upgraded materials, and advanced infotainment technology. Whether you're commuting through Chicago's suburbs or taking a weekend escape to Starved Rock, the 2026 Outback is built for comfort, confidence, and capability.

What Are the 2026 Subaru Outback Trim Levels and Key Features?

The 2026 Subaru Outback lineup offers six versatile trims — Premium, Limited, Limited XT, Touring, Touring XT, and Wilderness — each tailored to fit a different driving lifestyle.

Every trim includes Subaru's hallmark Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance, providing steady traction and handling on city streets and off-road trails alike.

The Premium trim adds sporty style with 18-inch dark gray alloy wheels, while the Touring trim elevates luxury with Nappa leather upholstery, power-folding mirrors, and EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology featuring active lane change assist.

For drivers seeking rugged adventure, the Outback Wilderness offers:

• 9.5 inches of ground clearance
• StarTex® water-resistant upholstery
• Anodized copper accents inside and out
• Upgraded skid plates and all-terrain tires

All models now feature a 12.1-inch touchscreen multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, giving you easy access to navigation, music, and apps on every drive through Evergreen Park or beyond.

How Much Power Does the 2026 Subaru Outback Have?

The 2026 Outback gives Illinois drivers a choice between two dependable and capable engines:

• 2.5-liter BOXER® engine: Produces 180 horsepower, delivering efficient, everyday performance.
• 2.4-liter turbocharged BOXER® engine: Produces 260 horsepower, ideal for confident towing and highway acceleration.

Both engines come paired with Subaru's Lineartronic® CVT transmission and standard all-wheel drive, ensuring smooth handling, optimal power distribution, and stability — whether you're cruising through Evergreen Park or tackling rougher terrain in the Midwest.
