2026 Subaru Outlook gets boxy again, retains versatile SUV value status

Thirty-one years after its debut, the 2026 Subaru Outback marks the beginning of the versatile vehicle’s seventh generation. The once station wagon-leaning family chariot has morphed into a crossover sport utility vehicle.

Redesigned, the Outback is now more rugged and utilitarian. Its boxy, bold look upholds Subaru’s safety-focused, outdoorsy image, with signature symmetrical all-wheel drive. The new look includes a flatter roofline, steeper rear glass, a more upright grille and vertically stacked headlights.
