What Owners are Saying About the 2027 Subaru Outback

"Love this car!"

"I traded a 2014 Subaru Outback Limited with 46,000 miles for this 2026 Subaru Outback Touring non turbo. I am a person who cares about mpg and looked at hybrids before settling on this Outback. This car just felt like I was at home in it. The non -turbo engine is a absolutely, positively, unequivocally FINE, and meets my driving needs perfectly, including very decent mpg. Its interesting that this engine is essentially the same as my 2014 which was stellar. However, I am pleased that somehow the mpg's are substantially better. I'm getting 25 in city and over 30 highway although I haven't taken a long highway drive thus far, and I expect to get 35 or better. The java brown napa leather interior is stunning and luxurious! The Harmon Kardon sound system, even through just the Sirius radio, brings a smile to my face when my favorite '70's songs are played. It is so surround sound. I love the rear view camera mirror because it shows you the rear view without going through the rear seat area/rear window. It's also more wide angle. I feel so much safer in this car than my 2014 because I sit higher and have so many more safety features that were unavailable in 2014. This car drives like a dream, smooth and quiet. Braking is much better than I was used to. Easy access and exit. I'm still learning the infotainment system but I just need warmer weather so I can park somewhere and fiddle around with it. I researched cars for over a year and test drove quite a few. This Subaru is my dream car. the first time ever I've bought "top of the line" and I'm enjoying driving it very much. I recommend both the 2026 Outback and also the Touring non-turbo. Go for it!!"

"Best Outback ever"

"We traded in our ‘21 Outback Touring for the ‘26 Outback Touring XT. What a difference. We loved the ‘21, but the ‘26 takes Outbacking to the next level. First, the 2.4L turbo - finally the car has the power to really move it. The NA had adequate power, but merging onto a freeway was always a bit of a challenge. Not anymore. We really like the new design. I know that there are haters out there that think the Subaru sold out by moving away from the wagon style, but the new design is a lot more rugged looking. The interior is great - love the brown Napa leather. Lastly, the infotainment system is much, much better. No lag, better clarity, and physical buttons for the climate control. Well done Subaru!"

"Love this 2026 Outback"

"I bought a 2026 Outback Touring non turbo in Dec. 2025 and have driven 4400 miles. I did not want the turbo and Im happy with the 180 hp engine. I dont tow and this engine, while maybe it sounds underpowered, I think its perfect. I am surpassing the mpg ratings. Last week I drove from Spokane to Seattle and averaged 40 mpg w 95% highway driving. Combination driving I get 27 mpg. The car is very comfortable w 12 way driver seat inc 4 way lumbar and a leg extender. You will be comfortable in this car. I LOVE the hands free driving feature. Its the cat's meow!! The interior is very logically laid out and easy to learn. The Harman Kardon sound system is really nice. I find this car is like an old friend... inviting and easy to get along with. I researched cars for over a year and I think I made the best choice."
