Performance & Off-Road Capability
Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness features a potent 2.4L H-4 direct injection, DOHC, variable valve control, intercooled turbo, regular gasoline, engine with 260HP. Power is managed seamlessly through an 8-speed Lineartronic CVT with sequential shift paddle controls, giving you instant acceleration and crisp gear step shifts on demand. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive works alongside an advanced driver-selectable dual-function X-MODE system, allowing you to optimize traction across deep snow, mud, and uneven terrain. Built specifically for rough paths, this trim is equipped with specialized off-road ride suspension, independent strut front suspension, double wishbone rear suspension, gas-pressurized shock absorbers, and an underbody skid plate for added protection. Wrapped around 17-inch matte black finish aluminum-alloy wheels are durable P225/65TR17 AT RWL all-terrain tires, complemented by a matching full-size spare tire mounted safely under the cargo floor. Even with its impressive mechanical muscle, this setup delivers a practical EPA-estimated 21 city MPG and 27 highway MPG on regular gasoline.

The cabin of the Outback Wilderness merges high-tech connectivity with premium convenience. At the center of the dashboard sits the impressive Subaru 12.1-inch Multimedia System with Navigation, paired with a 12.3-inch digital/analog gauge cluster display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration keep your smartphone connected effortlessly, while front wireless smart device charging and four USB ports keep all your gear powered up. Audio is delivered through an immersive 12-speaker harman/kardon sound system powered by a 576W amplifier. For elevated comfort in all weather conditions, this crossover offers ventilated driver and front passenger seats, heated front bucket seats, heated rear seats, and a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel.
