Turbocharged Power and All-Wheel Drive Confidence
At the heart of the 2026 Subaru Outback Touring XT is a powerful 2.4L H-4 direct injection, DOHC, intercooled turbo engine generating 260HP. Mated to an advanced 8-speed Lineartronic CVT transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, this powertrain delivers effortless acceleration and responsive passing power on the highway. Subaru's full-time Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive works continuously to maximize traction across changing road conditions, making seasonal weather transitions through Des Plaines completely seamless. When trail conditions or winter roads demand extra stability, the driver-selectable X-MODE drivetrain system optimizes wheel spin and engine torque for maximum control. Despite its impressive power output, this versatile crossover maintains efficient EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 21 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. Built on a sturdily engineered platform featuring an independent strut front suspension and a double wishbone rear suspension, the Outback provides a plush, composed ride without sacrificing responsive handling.
Advanced Technology and Interior Comfort
Inside the cabin, the Touring XT surrounds you with premier technology and intuitive convenience. The focal point of the dashboard is the brilliant 12.1-inch primary touchscreen display running the Subaru 12.1-Inch Multimedia System with Navigation alongside a clear digital instrumentation cluster. Seamlessly link your smartphone using wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integration, while keeping your device charged via the front Wireless Smart Device Charging pad. Music lovers will appreciate the acoustic clarity of the 576-watt 12-Speaker Harman/Kardon Audio System. Comfort features abound throughout the interior, including Heated and Ventilated Front Bucket Seats, Heated Rear Seats, a Heated Steering Wheel, and a Power Moonroof that bathes the cabin in natural light. Driver confidence is further elevated by the EyeSight safety system, featuring Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and a Smart Rear-View Mirror video feed for unobstructed visibility behind the vehicle.
