2026 model year

What's new for 2026.

The 2026 Subaru Outback marks the debut of the seventh generation, shifting the model's identity from a wagon-based crossover to a more traditional midsize SUV. This complete redesign introduces a taller, boxier exterior profile that significantly increases interior headroom and cargo capacity. The cabin receives a major technological overhaul, replacing the previous vertical screen with a more responsive 12.1-inch landscape-oriented touchscreen powered by Android Automotive software. Notably, Subaru has responded to customer feedback by reintroducing physical buttons and knobs for critical climate control functions. The safety suite is enhanced with an optional hands-free highway driving assistant on Touring trims, capable of operating at speeds up to 85 mph.

Exterior

  • Complete redesign with a taller, more upright SUV-like facade.
  • Square rear hatch opening for easier loading of bulky items.
  • Newly available 19-inch alloy wheels on Limited XT and Touring XT trims.

Technology

  • New 12.1-inch landscape-oriented central touchscreen with Android Automotive integration.
  • Standard 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster across all trims.
  • Introduction of hands-free highway driving assistance (up to 85 mph) on Touring models.

Interior

  • Return of physical buttons and knobs for climate control (fan speed and temperature).
  • Increased rear headroom and cargo volume (34.6 cubic feet behind the second row).
  • New 'tunnel cover' cargo area solution with magnetic pass-through.
