Features
Subaru Multimedia System with New Standard 12.1-Inch Touchscreen
The 2026 Outback and Outback Wilderness feature a Subaru Multimedia System with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration 1, which lets you view and control your navigation, music, podcasts, and other content and apps without needing to plug in your smartphone. An all-new 12.1-inch touchscreen is standard for intuitive control of your entertainment and navigation as well as a new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Wireless Bluetooth® pairing and hands-free smartphone operation allow for safe and easy connection to your favorite apps and content.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Every 2026 Subaru Outback model features the capability of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. This system is designed to optimize traction in rain, snow, on bad roads, or even when there’s no road at all. It constantly evaluates acceleration, braking, and cornering in real time to continuously deliver power to all four wheels. If a wheel slips, power is instantaneously transferred to the wheels that have the most grip.
EyeSight Technology
Every Outback SUV features upgraded standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology for 2026. EyeSight acts like an extra set of eyes on the road and if need be, an extra foot on the brake2. EyeSight includes a number of advanced active safety systems to protect you and your family on every drive. Newly available Hands-Free Assist2 can help reduce driver fatigue with automatic steering control under certain conditions. Emergency Stop Assist with Safe Lane Selection 3, also newly available, can automatically steer toward the shoulder, bring the vehicle to a stop, and activate the hazard lights in the event the driver is incapacitated. Automatic Emergency Steering can help you avoid a collision by providing automatic steering and pre-collision braking support if it determines there’s enough space to intervene4. EyeSight and other safety features in the Outback Wilderness have been calibrated to match its increased ground clearance and trail-ready upgrades.
Fuel Efficiency and Durability
Each 2026 Outback model delivers competitive gas mileage and driving range. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive has demonstrated its durability and low maintenance over four decades of owner-tested Subaru vehicles so you can be confident your Outback will keep taking you farther year after year.
