Engine and Performance of the 2026 Outback: What Do We Know?

We already know that the performance of the next-generation Subaru Outback will be similar to what we are familiar with.

In this regard, two engines have been confirmed with Subaru BOXER engines in the new mid-size SUV:

2.5L H4 engine producing 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque
2.4L turbo H4 engine delivering 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque

The towing capacity of Subaru SUVs shows that these are vehicles that are not afraid of challenges. The Outback is no exception as it can tow up to 3,500 lbs. We can expect this figure to be maintained or even increased in 2026.

Inspired by a classic sports car, every element is well-placed, providing a more engaging and even more captivating driving experience. The leather-wrapped steering wheel offers maximum grip and the digital screen is highly ergonomic and very readable. Finally, the cabin uses high-quality materials, with foldable rear seats and a spacious trunk.

2026 Subaru Outback: Its Redesigned Silhouette

The new Outback undergoes a beautiful transformation. At first glance, it seems similar to the Subaru Forester, but it is noticeably longer.

The front lighting shows that the daytime running lights are placed higher than the LED headlights. The grille has been redesigned and is significantly larger with the letters S U B A R U prominently displayed in the Wilderness version.

The rear lights now span the entire width of the vehicle, and the word SUBARU appears below the logo. More athletic than ever with its robust front, modern tailgate, and high ground clearance, the 2026 Subaru Outback, with a starting price to be announced, stands out and makes an impression.

Modernized Interior and Onboard Technologies of the Outback

The next-generation Subaru Outback impresses with its interior. It is more equipped than ever.

It offers heated and anti-fatigue front seats, a wireless charger, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a 12.3-inch instrument display, and an integrated multimedia system with a 12.1-inch horizontal touchscreen and a hybrid navigation system.

Finally, you will have access to the latest generation EyeSight system with a new feature, emergency stop assistance with safe lane selection.
