Performance & Capability
Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Outback Premium is powered by a 2.5L H-4 direct injection, DOHC, variable valve control engine delivering 180HP. Paired with an 8-speed Lineartronic CVT, this powertrain delivers smooth acceleration and efficient performance, achieving an EPA-estimated 25 MPG city and 31 MPG highway. Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard, delivering continuous power to all four wheels to maintain traction on slick roads, wet pavement, or unpaved trails. For challenging terrain, the driver-selectable X-MODE drivetrain system optimizes engine output and transmission ratios while managing braking and traction control to reduce wheel spin. Additional engineering features include an independent strut front and double wishbone rear suspension, front and rear anti-roll bars, speed-sensitive electric power-assist steering, and 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS. Smart key access with push-button start and auto stop-start technology further enhance convenience and efficiency every time you take the wheel.
Technology & Connectivity
Inside the cabin, the Outback Premium surrounds you with intuitive modern technology designed to keep you connected and entertained. The focal point of the dashboard is the 12.1-inch primary touchscreen multimedia display, accompanied by a 12.30-inch gauge cluster display that keeps crucial driving information clear and visible. Wireless smart device integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allows seamless access to your favorite apps, navigation, and playlists without cluttering the console with cables. Handsfree Bluetooth wireless device connectivity and voice-activated audio controls let you manage calls and media adjustments while keeping your hands on the leather steering wheel. The six-speaker audio system includes SiriusXM with 360L capability, while four USB ports ensure everyone in the first and second rows can keep their devices charged on longer trips.
