2026 Subaru Outback

Looking for a new SUV that combines everyday comfort, advanced safety technology, and the freedom to explore? Then you’ll want to hear more about the 2027 Subaru Outback. With a new entry-level model starting at $32,995 MSRP, upgraded standard features, and lower pricing across several trim levels, the latest Outback delivers even more value for drivers who want a vehicle that can keep up with real life.

Whether you’re commuting to work, driving the kids to school, heading out for a weekend road trip, or exploring your favorite outdoor destinations, the 2027 Subaru Outback is designed to make every journey more comfortable, convenient, and confident.

At Diehl Subaru of Massillon, we’re excited about what the new Outback brings to the lineup. Here’s a closer look at what’s new for 2027, how it compares to the 2026 model, and why this versatile Subaru SUV deserves a spot on your shopping list.

2027 Subaru Outback Price: More Features for Your Money

One of the biggest highlights for the 2027 model year is affordability. Subaru has reintroduced an entry-level Outback trim with a starting MSRP of just $32,995—$2,000 less than the starting price of the outgoing 2026 lineup.

But a lower starting price doesn’t mean sacrificing the features drivers want. The new 2027 Subaru Outback base model comes equipped with an impressive collection of technology, comfort, and driver-assistance features that make it an appealing option for first-time Subaru buyers, growing families, and budget-conscious shoppers.

Subaru has also reduced pricing on most other Outback trim levels, lowering MSRP by an average of $1,000 across most of the lineup compared with 2026.

With multiple trim levels to choose from, it’s easier to find an Outback that matches your budget, driving habits, and preferred features.

2027 vs. 2026 Subaru Outback: What’s New?

If you’re comparing the 2026 Subaru Outback with the 2027 model, the latest lineup brings several important updates, particularly when it comes to pricing, standard equipment, and driver-assistance technology.

A More Affordable Entry Point

The biggest change is the return of a base Outback trim. Starting at $32,995 MSRP, the 2027 model lowers the entry price by $2,000 compared with the outgoing 2026 lineup.

The new base model also includes significantly more standard equipment than previous-generation base models. That means shoppers can enjoy modern infotainment, digital displays, heated front seats, and advanced driver-assistance features without necessarily stepping up to a higher trim.

More Standard Technology

Every 2027 Outback base model comes with a 12.1-inch Subaru Multimedia touchscreen and a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard, helping you stay connected without the hassle of plugging in your phone every time you get behind the wheel.

Updated Driver-Assistance Features

The 2027 lineup expands the availability of Subaru’s Highway Hands-Free Assist technology. It’s standard on the Limited XT and Touring trims, with an available package on the Wilderness.

These updates give shoppers more ways to choose the technology and convenience features that matter most to them.

Lower Pricing on Several Popular Trims

Compared with 2026, the 2027 Outback Limited is $1,720 less, the Touring is $1,900 less, the Limited XT is $770 less, the Touring XT is $1,400 less, and the Wilderness is $1,000 less in starting MSRP.

The bottom line: The 2027 Subaru Outback makes it easier to shop for the technology, comfort, and capability you want while keeping an eye on your budget.

Technology That Makes Everyday Driving Easier

Modern technology should make driving simpler, and the 2027 Subaru Outback does this by bringing useful features to the forefront, helping drivers stay connected, find their way, and enjoy a more comfortable ride.

A 12.1-Inch Touchscreen

The standard 12.1-inch Subaru Multimedia System puts entertainment, compatible smartphone apps, and vehicle information within easy reach. Improved responsiveness compared with the previous-generation Outback helps make the system more convenient to use.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto let compatible smartphones connect without a cable, while standard USB-A and USB-C charging ports help keep devices powered during commutes and longer trips.

A 12.3-Inch Digital Instrument Cluster

The new Outback also features a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster. Drivers can choose from several display layouts, including traditional gauges, turn-by-turn navigation, a road-focused EyeSight display, and a simplified mode designed to reduce visual clutter.

It’s a practical upgrade for drivers who appreciate clear information and a more modern cockpit.

Comfort for Every Season

Cold mornings and changing weather are part of everyday driving. Fortunately, the 2027 Subaru Outback base model comes standard with heated front seats, heated side mirrors, and a windshield wiper de-icer.

Dual-zone automatic climate control with physical controls also makes it easier for the driver and front passenger to find a comfortable temperature.

Higher trim levels offer additional conveniences, including available heated steering wheels, wireless phone charging, power moonroofs, premium audio, and ventilated front seats.

Whether you’re running errands around town or heading out on a longer drive, these features help make your time behind the wheel more enjoyable.

Subaru Safety: EyeSight Driver-Assist Technology Comes Standard

Safety is an important consideration when shopping for a family SUV, and the 2027 Subaru Outback puts advanced driver-assistance technology high on the priority list.

Every 2027 Outback comes standard with Subaru EyeSight Driver-Assist Technology, which uses camera-based technology to support the driver and help monitor driving conditions.

Depending on the system and vehicle configuration, EyeSight technologies can include features such as:

  • Pre-Collision Braking: Designed to help reduce the severity of certain frontal collisions or potentially avoid them in some situations.

  • Adaptive Cruise Control: Helps maintain a selected following distance from traffic ahead.

  • Lane-Related Assistance: Supports awareness of lane positioning and helps the driver stay on course.

  • Additional Driver Assistance: Available features vary by trim and may include advanced highway-driving assistance and emergency stop functions.

The 2027 base model also includes the DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System, designed to help recognize signs of driver distraction or fatigue.

Available Highway Hands-Free Assist

For drivers who spend plenty of time on major highways, the expanded availability of Highway Hands-Free Assist is another important update for 2027.

This technology is available on the Outback Touring and standard on the Limited XT, with additional advanced highway-assistance features included on applicable trims. The Wilderness can also be equipped with select features through an available options package.

When operating conditions and system requirements are met, compatible highway-assistance technology can help reduce the effort involved in certain driving tasks.

Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive: Confidence for Changing Conditions

Rainy roads, winter weather, gravel driveways, and weekend adventures can all present different driving challenges. That’s why Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is such an important part of the 2027 Subaru Outback experience.

Every 2027 Outback comes standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, helping distribute power to all four wheels to support traction and stability when road conditions change.

The standard 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine produces 180 horsepower and pairs with a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). Standard X-MODE with Hill Descent Control adds support for select slippery or steep driving conditions.

The Outback also offers 8.7 inches of ground clearance on the base model, helping provide extra clearance over uneven roads and other obstacles.

For everyday drivers, that means you can enjoy the convenience of a comfortable commuter vehicle with added capability for changing weather and occasional adventures beyond the pavement.

Space for Groceries, Sports Gear, and Weekend Getaways

A good SUV should work just as well on Monday morning as it does on a Saturday road trip. The ’27 Outback offers practical cargo space and flexible seating to help make everyday life easier.

With 34.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and up to 80.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, the Outback has room for groceries, luggage, camping equipment, sports bags, and plenty more.

The standard 60/40-split folding rear seats give you flexibility when you need to carry a combination of passengers and larger items.

Other useful features include:

  • A standard power rear gate with memory height for easier loading.

  • Raised roof rails with an 800-pound static load capacity, making them useful for compatible rooftop setups when properly equipped.

  • Towing capacity of up to 2,700 pounds on the base model when properly equipped.

  • Available premium seating, additional passenger comforts, and upgraded audio on higher trim levels.

Whether you’re packing for a family vacation or simply making a run to the home improvement store, the Outback is designed to adapt to your routine.
