The 2026 Subaru Outback Touring is a refined and versatile midsize SUV designed for drivers who want comfort, advanced technology, and true all-weather capability. Completely redesigned for 2026, the new Outback features a bolder SUV-inspired exterior, increased cabin space, improved sound insulation, and upgraded safety systems, making it one of the most practical adventure-oriented vehicles in its class. In Canada, the Touring trim serves as the entry point to the lineup, yet it already comes exceptionally well equipped.
The Touring model is powered by a 2.5-litre direct-injection SUBARU BOXER® engine producing 180 horsepower, paired with a Lineartronic® CVT and Subaru’s renowned Symmetrical Full-Time All-Wheel Drive system. X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control improves traction on snow, gravel, and rough terrain, giving the Outback excellent confidence in Canadian weather conditions.
Inside, the Touring trim offers a modern and highly functional cabin with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, rear ventilation vents, and premium soft-touch materials throughout the interior. The centrepiece is the new 12.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, SiriusXM® with 360L, and a wireless phone charger. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster adds a more upscale and high-tech driving experience.
Safety remains one of the Outback’s biggest strengths. The Touring trim includes the latest EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology with Automatic Emergency Steering, Emergency Stop Assist, Reverse Automatic Braking, Blind-Spot Detection, and DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System. Spacious seating, generous cargo capacity, and Subaru reliability make the 2026 Outback Touring an excellent choice for families, commuters, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
