2026 Subaru Outback

Explore the 2026 Subaru Outback in Wichita, KS

Prepare for a new era of exploration with the 2026 Subaru Outback, available at Subaru of Wichita. For 2026, the legendary Outback undergoes its most significant transformation yet, trading its traditional wagon profile for a brawnier, SUV-inspired stance that features a 2-inch taller roofline and a bolder, boxier front end. Visit us to experience how the redesigned Outback combines rugged durability with next-generation refinement.

Interior

The 2026 Subaru Outback interior has been completely overhauled with a "low-fatigue" design philosophy. The centerpiece is a new, lightning-fast 12.1-inch tablet-style touchscreen that powers the infotainment system with doubled memory for near-instant response. In a move praised by owners, Subaru has brought back physical knobs and buttons for climate control, making it easy to adjust settings even while wearing winter gloves. Drivers also benefit from a new 12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster that can be customized to show full-screen navigation maps, safety alerts, or a "Calm" mode to reduce distraction on nighttime drives through Wichita.

Comfort and utility are redefined with new seats mounted directly to the chassis to reduce road vibration and bounce. Thanks to the raised roofline, rear-seat passengers enjoy increased headroom, while the cargo area offers up to 80.5 cubic-feet of space—a significant jump for 2026. Practical touches are everywhere, including door bottle holders designed to fit 32-ounce tumblers and cargo hooks for secure gear storage. From the water-repellent StarTex® upholstery on the Premium trim to the ventilated Nappa leather on the Touring, the 2026 Outback is built to be your sophisticated basecamp for any journey.

Exterior

The 2026 Outback makes a commanding statement with its more upright silhouette and aggressive exterior details. The front fascia is dominated by stacked LED headlights and a larger, chunkier grille, while the rear features a sleek new lightbar design. Utility is enhanced by heavy-duty raised roof rails that now support an incredible 800-lb static load—ideal for roof-top tents. The Wilderness trim returns as the ultimate off-road machine, featuring 9.5 inches of ground clearance, electronically controlled dampers for superior trail stability, and exclusive Anodized Copper accents that highlight its rugged capabilities.

Performance

Reliability meets modern engineering under the hood of the 2026 Outback. The standard 2.5L SUBARU BOXER engine has been retuned for smoother delivery, producing 180 horsepower and achieving an estimated 33 MPG on the highway. For those seeking extra muscle for towing or highway merging, the XT and Wilderness trims feature a 2.4L Turbocharged engine delivering 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Every 2026 model comes standard with a revised X-MODE system, accessible via a new steering-wheel-mounted switch to instantly optimize traction for the varied terrain of the Sunflower State.
