The Subaru Outback has a long-held reputation for delivering SUV practicality with the comfort and drivability of a wagon. Thanks to standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Subaru X-MODE®, and high ground clearance, it's also an excellent option for outdoor enthusiasts who like to venture beyond the asphalt, especially in its Wilderness trim.

For 2026, Subaru completely redesigned the Outback for its seventh generation, introducing a bolder and boxier exterior design, roomier passenger accommodations, and an expanded cargo area, along with upgraded amenities and tech features. Drivers from Seaford, DE, to Ocean City, MD can explore the 2026 Subaru Outback at Gateway Subaru. To help you determine which configuration best fits your needs and lifestyle, here's a closer look at the highlights of each trim level.
