Subaru Announces Pricing for All-New 2026 Outback

Subaru has announced pricing for the all-new 2026 Outback, which enters its seventh generation later this year. The new model starts at $34,995 before destination and delivery charges.

Now in its 30th year on the U.S. market, the 2026 Outback undergoes the biggest design update in its history along with new technology and safety features. Like before, it comes standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and at least 8.7 inches of ground clearance. A new 12.1-inch multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, is standard across all trims.

The lineup includes Premium, Limited, Touring, Limited XT, Touring XT, and Wilderness models. A 2.5-liter four-cylinder BOXER engine producing 180 horsepower powers most versions, while a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine with 260 horsepower is available on the Limited XT, Touring XT, and Wilderness. All engines are paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission with an 8-speed manual shift mode.

Design and Interior

The 2026 Outback adopts a more upright front fascia, new vertical headlights, and textured lower cladding. The body shape remains similar but has been adjusted for more interior space and cargo capacity, with a taller, boxier profile and a steeper rear window. New full-width rear lighting and a removable SUBARU logo panel on the liftgate are also part of the redesign.

Inside, the cabin layout has been simplified, with technology and controls arranged for easier use. Climate functions have dedicated physical buttons, and storage areas have been redesigned, including cupholders that fit larger bottles. Some interior materials, such as the headliner, use recycled content.
