The all-new 2026 Subaru Outback is here, bringing a bold redesign, upgraded technology, and legendary all-wheel drive capability to drivers in the Twin Cities.
Available soon for preorder at Walser Subaru St. Paul, this seventh-generation Outback blends the rugged utility of an SUV with the comfort and versatility Subaru owners love.
Whether you’re navigating snowy Minnesota roads or loading up for a weekend at the cabin, the 2026 Outback is built to handle every adventure with confidence.
The Subaru Outback has always balanced the utility of an SUV with the practicality of a wagon, but for 2026 it takes a bolder step toward rugged, adventure-ready design. With a more squared-off shape, greater ground clearance, and features built for the trail, this Outback is prepared for whatever Minnesota roads—or no roads—have in store.
Key updates for 2026 include:
Fresh, more SUV-like exterior design with sharper lines and a stronger stance
Roofline raised by 2 inches for improved rear passenger headroom
Expanded width and length for a roomier cabin
Standard ladder-style roof rails supporting up to 800 lbs static load
Cargo capacity increased to 34.6 cu ft with easier rear hatch access
42% stiffer chassis for better cornering and stability
New infotainment powered by Android Automotive plus easy-to-use physical controls
The seventh-generation Outback is available in six trims, each tailored for different driving needs:
Premium – Well-equipped and versatile for everyday use
Limited – Premium comfort and added driver-assist features
Touring – Luxury touches and exclusive upgrades
Limited XT – Turbocharged performance with upscale amenities
Touring XT – Fully loaded with top-tier tech and turbo power
Wilderness – Adventure-focused with 9.5 inches of ground clearance and off-road tuning
Powertrain Choices:
2.5L Naturally Aspirated BOXER®-4 – 180 hp / 178 lb-ft torque
2.4L Turbocharged BOXER®-4 (XT & Wilderness) – 260 hp / 277 lb-ft torque
All trims include Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a CVT automatic transmission.
The 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness is tougher, taller, and more trail-ready than ever, with upgrades designed for serious off-road capability:
17-inch matte-black alloy wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Dueler all-terrain tires
9.5 inches of ground clearance for tackling uneven terrain (up from 8.7″)
Optimized approach, breakover, and departure angles: 20° / 21.2° / 22.5°
Scratch-resistant front and side cladding for extra protection
Heavy-duty roof rails ready to support rooftop tents and gear
Turbocharged engine paired with suspension tuning for off-road control
From a fishing trip along Minnesota’s North Shore to camping in the Boundary Waters, the Wilderness trim is ready for adventure in every season.
The redesigned Outback doesn’t just look stronger—it’s smarter too. Subaru has reimagined the cabin to keep you connected, comfortable, and in control:
12.1-inch high-definition touchscreen powered by Android Automotive OS
12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with multiple display modes
Physical buttons and knobs for climate control, audio, and seat functions
EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology standard on every trim
Available Highway Hands Free Assist (coming soon) for effortless cruising
In every drive—whether through snowy St. Paul streets or along Minnesota’s scenic backroads—the 2026 Outback combines advanced safety with everyday usability.
The all-new 2026 Subaru Outback is expected to begin arriving at dealerships by late this year.
Entry-level models should start around $32,000, while fully equipped trims with all available options could approach $50,000. Official EPA fuel economy estimates and final pricing details will be released closer to launch.
