The seventh-generation Outback (BU) was revealed on 16 April 2025 and went on sale in North America on 22 August 2025 for the 2026 model year. It changes from the raised station wagon of its predecessor to a boxier crossover SUV with a taller roofline and more body cladding, no longer tied to sedan proportions now that the Legacy has been discontinued. The base engine is a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre boxer four of 180 hp, while the XT and Wilderness trims use a turbocharged 2.4-litre boxer four of 260 hp; both use a CVT and standard symmetrical all-wheel drive. The Wilderness adds all-terrain tyres, electronically controlled dampers, 9.5 inches of ground clearance and a 3,500 lb towing capacity.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 2.5 (FB25D) trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

One model props up an entire segment: the Outback alone accounts for more than 80% of all new station wagons sold in the US.
This Outback's high beams never fully switch off — Subaru's Adaptive Driving Beam instead shutters out just the part of the light hitting oncoming drivers.
A wagon beat the SUVs at their own game: this Outback generation won Motor Trend's Sport/Utility of the Year award for 2010.
This Outback shared Top Gear's Car of the Year crown — an unusual honor for a jacked-up wagon to split with the Ford Mondeo in 2007.
For a few years, this Outback's six-cylinder trim came with genuine McIntosh audio — the same esteemed hi-fi name found in home theaters, one of the only cars ever to get it from the factory.
Subaru didn't have the budget for an all-new SUV, so it dressed up a Legacy wagon instead. A Subaru of America executive later put it bluntly: "[the Outback] saved our company."
