2026 Subaru Outback review: Great interior, refined drive, divisive looks

The 2026 Subaru Outback undergoes a significant design shift, moving from its traditional wagon silhouette to a sharper, more SUV-like two-box shape. Despite the divisive exterior styling, the interior sees notable improvements with a more premium feel, while standard all-wheel drive across all six trims maintains Subaru's reputation for capable all-weather performance.

Background

The Subaru Outback has been a cornerstone of Subaru's lineup since 1995, originally created as a raised trim of the Legacy wagon and evolving into a standalone model that helped define the adventure-themed crossover segment.
