Capability
The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system in the 2026 Outback AWD midsize SUV is designed to optimize traction in snow, rain, 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.

8.7 Inches of Ground Clearance and X-MODE®
With 8.7 inches of ground clearance and standard X-MODE, the Outback is an AWD midsize SUV that 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.
X-MODE standard on: All trims
Practical Outback Style, Now in Extra Strength
The all-new 2026 Outback shows off a powerful new exterior design with a bold, upright silhouette; new grille design; and newly available 19-inch wheels. Strong, angular lines flow past contoured sheet metal and protective cladding for a daring blend of modern style and tough SUV practicality.
Standard Raised Roof Rails with Tie-Downs
Standard raised roof rails support up to 800 pounds of static load and provide additional versatility for equipment like kayaks, bikes, skis, and cargo carriers — even a rooftop tent12. Plus, built-in tie-downs give you even more flexibility and make it easier to secure your cargo.

Subaru Outback COMFORT 
More Convenience, Technology, and Spacious Comfort
The stunning redesign of the 2026 Outback continues into its spacious, comfortable, and connected interior. The upgraded driving experience starts with a standard fully digital instrument cluster and standard 12.1-inch high-resolution touchscreen, both new for 2026. Plus, there are premium amenities available for even more style and comfort, including Nappa leather-trimmed upholstery, a power tilt/sliding moonroof, a heated steering wheel, and heated front and rear outboard seats. USB-A and USB-C input and charging ports help keep your devices connected and powered, while wireless charging is available for even more convenience.
Available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio
The available Harman Kardon premium audio system captures detail-rich acoustics through enhanced sound control and superior high-sound output. At the heart of the system lies a high-performance 8-channel class-D amplifier pumping out 576 equivalent watts of power. The amplifier works to efficiently distribute clean audio signals to the vehicle’s 12-speaker sound system — including a dedicated center channel speaker and subwoofer. Harman’s Clari-Fi™ Technology restores and corrects audio fidelity, resulting in musical reproduction that sounds clearer, crisper, and more dynamic.
Standard on: Limited, Touring, Limited XT, Touring XT

Subaru EyeSight
The Outback features upgraded standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which acts like an extra set of eyes on the road and if need be, an extra foot on the brake. EyeSight includes a number of advanced active safety systems to protect you and your family on every drive. Newly available Hands-Free Assist can help reduce driver fatigue with automatic steering control under certain conditions. Emergency Stop Assist with Safe Lane Selection, also newly available, can automatically steer towards the shoulder, bring the vehicle to a stop, and activate the hazard lights in the event the driver is incapacitated. Automatic Emergency Steering can help you avoid a collision by providing automatic steering and pre-collision braking support if it determines there’s enough space to intervene.
Pre-Collision Braking
Automatic Pre-Collision Braking helps avoid or reduce frontal impacts by alerting you and applying full braking force in emergency situations. Pre-Collision Throttle Management can reduce the power from the engine to help minimize the possible impact force and frontal impact damage.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering adds extra convenience and safety on every trip. Just choose the distance you want to keep from the car in front of you and it can take some of the stress out of everyday driving by helping with steering, braking, and throttle control while maintaining a safe distance ahead.
