Meet the 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness: Adventure Reimagined

When your weekends take you beyond the pavement, you want a vehicle that’s built for more than just the daily commute. That’s where the 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness comes in - bold, capable, and totally redefined for the modern explorer.

A bold stance for even bolder trails.

Built to Go Where Others Won’t

The newest generation of Outback Wilderness is Subaru’s most rugged and capable SUV yet. With 9.5 inches of ground clearance, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a turbocharged 260-horsepower BOXER engine, and trail-ready upgrades like all-terrain tires and electronically controlled dampers, this isn’t just an SUV—it’s your all-access pass to the backcountry.

New X-MODE Dual Mode gives you the freedom to tackle snow, mud, and rocky climbs with confidence. And the updated suspension system smooths out rough terrain while keeping on-road performance comfortable and composed.

Adventure-Driven Design

Every angle, engineered for adventure.

On the outside, the 2026 Outback Wilderness gets a rugged redesign with more aggressive bumpers, matte black cladding, LED hexagonal fog lights, and signature copper accents on the roof rails, rear lights, and fog bezels. A wider stance and improved approach, breakover, and departure angles mean you’ll look good doing what other SUVs can’t.

Tough where it counts. Thoughtful everywhere else.

A Cabin That Can Keep Up

Inside, the new Wilderness delivers water-resistant StarTex upholstery, adventure-proof utility hooks, and an all-new cargo cover made from 100% recycled materials. For the first time ever, Nappa leather with ventilated front seats is available—because the trail may be wild, but your comfort doesn’t have to be.

Every control, right where you need it—even with gloves on.

The new 12.1-inch touchscreen and digital gauge cluster make navigation and controls easier to manage, with full-screen Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration standard. A 360-degree Surround View Monitor is also available—because seeing what’s around the corner matters, especially off-road.

Bring More. Worry Less.

From hiking boots to camp gear, the Wilderness is built to carry what matters. You’ll get 34.6 cubic feet of cargo space, reinforced roof rails with 800-lb. static capacity, and eight built-in utility hook points inside to secure your gear or hang up wet jackets after the rain. Even the new trailer hitch is redesigned for easier installation.

The seat you’ll want every time you hit the trail. Rock, paper, scissors!

Arriving Early 2026

The 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness arrives at Adventure Subaru in early 2026. And when it does, we’ll be ready—with warm coffee, open doors, and stories to swap about where the road ends and the fun begins.
