The 2026 Subaru Outback is designed from the ground up and is two inches taller than the previous generation. More refined than its predecessor, it features additional sound-deadening materials and bucks the all-touchscreen trend, boasting plenty of knobs and buttons. Competing with the Honda Passport, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, Mazda CX-70, Nissan Murano, Toyota Crown Signia, Toyota 4Runner, and Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, this new Outback shows early promise in this crowded field.
