The 2027 Subaru Outback welcomes a Convenience trim in Canada, with a starting price set at $37,995 CAD. Absent from the Canadian lineup in 2026, this variant is indeed convenient for those on a budget who want in on the Outback model. The new point of entry into the Outback range costs $41,007.50 once all freight and PDI and other fees are counted in (but not counting taxes).
While Subaru of America is also announcing an entry-level version and price cuts for several U.S. trims, the Canadian offering retains its own naming structure. According to the Subaru Canada website, buyers can choose from six trims: Convenience, Touring, Limited, Limited XT, Wilderness, and Premier XT.
A new base model
The addition of the Convenience trim thus shoves up the trim ladder the Outback Touring variant, which served as the base model in Canada for 2026.
As mentioned, to the MSRP of $37,995, buyers must add $2,495 for freight and PDI, plus $517.50 in other fees under the displayed configuration.
Technology in the 2027 Subaru Outback
Standard equipment includes a 12.1-inch central touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is also on the menu, as is the EyeSight driver-assistance suite. All-wheel drive and the X-MODE system come as standard equipment.
Powertrains of the 2027 Subaru Outback
The Convenience, Touring and Limited trims use a 2.5L flat-4 engine good for 180 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission transfers power to all four wheels.
The Limited XT, Wilderness and Premier XT variants receive a turbocharged 2.4L flat-4 engine instead. Its output reaches 260 hp, while its torque stands at 277 lb-ft. This powertrain is likewise paired with a continuously variable transmission and Subaru’s vaunted symmetrical AWD.
The Outback Wilderness gets special treatment, notably through its electronically controlled adaptive dampers and dual-mode X-MODE system, whose settings are designed for different surfaces such as snow, dirt and mud.
According to data published by Subaru Canada, fuel consumption for the Wilderness is rated at 11.3L/100 km city and 8.8L/100 km highway, compared to 9.3L and 7.5L/100 km respectively for naturally aspirated variants.
