Introduced at the New York Auto Show last spring, the 2026 Subaru Outback is now available for sale, and we now know its price range.
First off, a reminder that the Outback, previously a wagon with a somewhat rugged look, became an out and out SUV with the transition from the sixth to the new, seventh generation. This is a significant transition for the model, which sits between the Forester and the Ascent in Subaru’s lineup.
In the transition, the Japanese automaker took the opportunity to eliminate the Convenience, Onyx, and Limited versions. As a result, only one entry-level version (Touring) remains with the meeker engine and a sub-$50,000 price point.
Here is the complete price range for the 2026 Subaru Outback:
