The 2026 Subaru Outback is a rugged midsize SUV that combines everyday comfort with the capability to handle rough trail and road conditions. Here at Janesville Subaru, you can get behind the wheel of the redesigned 2026 Subaru Outback to experience its impressive performance for yourself. These are five performance features that make it stand out from the pack.

Standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive®

Every 2026 Subaru Outback comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive®. The advanced system continuously distributes power to all four wheels to help maintain traction on wet pavement, snow-covered Wisconsin roads, and uneven off-road surfaces. It’s a great advantage for Wisconsin drivers who deal with changing weather year-round.

Available Turbocharged BOXER® Engine

While the standard SUBARU BOXER® engine delivers impressive everyday performance, drivers looking for stronger acceleration will want to choose the XT models or the Wilderness, which come with a 2.4-liter turbocharged BOXER® engine good for 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. You can also tow up to 3,500 lbs with this engine and proper equipment.

Wilderness Suspension and Ground Clearance

The Wilderness trim also features a raised suspension with 9.5 inches of ground clearance and electronically controlled dampers. The extra clearance and advanced suspension make for more composed ride on rough terrain.

X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control

X-MODE® is standard on the 2026 Subaru Outback. It helps optimize engine output, transmission behavior, and all-wheel-drive traction when the road conditions get tough. Hill Descent Control helps manage speed on steep downhill sections.

Active Torque Vectoring

Finally, Active Torque Vectoring comes standard. It helps to improve handling through corners by applying braking force to the inside front wheel, which encourages more precise handling in tough conditions.
