Jones Bel Air Subaru - What to Know About the 2026 Subaru Outback
The all-new 2026 Subaru Outback builds on three decades of trusted, go-anywhere confidence with smarter technology, a bolder stance, and the same everyday versatility drivers count on. From its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance to newly available hands-free driving assistance on select trims, the Outback is engineered to make every trip smoother, safer, and more capable. Jones Bel Air Subaru is excited to welcome this next-generation SUV to our showroom — a modern take on a beloved icon that’s ready for your daily commute, weekend trails, and everything in between.
Outside, the 2026 Outback adopts a more upright, purposeful profile with a wider grille and available 19-inch wheels that emphasize stability and presence. The redesigned roof-rail system is built for real-world adventure, making it easier to mount accessories and manage heavier loads. Inside, you’ll find a serene, tech-forward cabin with an all-new 12.1-inch center display and a 12.3-inch full digital gauge cluster. Physical climate controls remain conveniently placed for quick adjustments, while enhanced sound insulation helps create a quieter ride. The result is a cockpit that works with you — intuitive, supportive, and ready for long-haul comfort.
Capability remains the heart of the Outback story. The standard all-wheel drive and X-MODE help maximize traction in adverse conditions, and you can choose between engines to prioritize efficiency or step up to turbocharged power. A revised steering system improves responsiveness for a natural, confident feel at the wheel. Whether you’re navigating wet roads, gravel switchbacks, or tight parking structures, the Outback delivers composed control and confidence you can sense immediately.
Safety advances take a major step forward, too. The latest EyeSight Driver Assist Technology brings a wider field of view and additional sensors for improved detection. Available features such as Hands-Free Driving Assist for driver-supervised highway travel, Emergency Stop Assist with Safe Lane Selection, and Active Lane Change Assist add layers of support on long trips. It’s technology designed to reduce fatigue and help you stay focused, with a clear emphasis on keeping you and your passengers secure.

No matter which path you take, the Outback stays true to its reputation — practical, durable, and rewarding to own.
