Performance & Off-Road Capability
At the heart of the 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness is a responsive 2.4L H-4 direct injection, DOHC, variable valve control, intercooled turbo, regular gasoline, engine with 260HP. This potent engine is paired with an 8-speed Lineartronic CVT featuring manual paddle shifters, offering smooth power delivery and engaging driver control. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive pairs seamlessly with driver-selectable dual-function X-MODE, enabling maximum traction across mud, snow, and rough terrain. An off-road tuned suspension system and durable underbody skid plate provide extra confidence when venturing beyond the pavement, while all-terrain tires wrapped around 17-inch black aluminum wheels ensure superior grip. Despite its robust performance capabilities, this vehicle achieves an efficient EPA-estimated 21 city MPG and 27 hwy MPG, making it as practical for daily travel as it is for off-grid escapes. Hill descent control and front and rear ventilated disc brakes further enhance stability during steep declines and sudden stops.

The focal point of the dashboard is a massive 12.1-inch primary touchscreen display with intuitive voice-activated controls and wireless smart device integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A premium 12-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system with a 576W amplifier provides crystal-clear sound quality for every journey.
