Some CUV models earn high marks for form, others for function — the Outback achieves equal praise for both.

2026 Subaru Outback Highlights
Performance
The Subaru Outback is molded after the CUV prototype — it's big enough for everybody and everything, but still supremely drivable. Consider the Subaru Outback with its 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine and the potential for an estimated 25 city / 31 highway MPG. Driving this CUV lets you enjoy improved stability and available all-wheel drive for better traction in uncertain road conditions. For more information on standard and available performance features, see this list:
- Reverse Automatic Braking
- Rear child-safety locks
- 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
Technology
Subaru understands that cutting-edge technology is a priority for all CUV drivers. Subaru offers available features and safety systems designed to help you avoid accidents and to protect you and passengers from harm. Components like these prove the Outback is all about its in-cabin occupants. The Outback also offers the following:
- Anti-theft security system
- Driver's knee airbag (SRS)
- Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Design
Your first look at a new CUV should tell you everything you need to know, and the Outback tells you it has what you want. The 80.5 cu ft of cargo volume in the Outback has shoppers wondering how Subaru fit so much room into such a compact frame. The Outback wouldn't be finished without options for comfort and genuine Subaru accessories. Check out even more of the available design features here:
- Power adjustable driver's seat, manually adjustable front passenger seat
