Drivers who love getting off the beaten path have a lot to like about the 2026 Subaru Outback. It’s one of the reasons a 2026 Subaru Outback lease is worth considering if you want capability without the higher cost of ownership. Built on the Subaru Global Platform, this SUV pairs standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive® with rugged capability that holds up on rougher terrain. The team at Lester Glenn Subaru put together this look at the features that make it happen.
Ground Clearance and Suspension
Every 2026 Subaru Outback offers 8.7 inches of ground clearance, while the Wilderness trim raises that to 9.5 inches thanks to a raised suspension. The Wilderness trim also introduces the first electronically controlled dampers ever offered on the Subaru Outback, helping smooth out uneven trails.
X-MODE® and Terrain Control
X-MODE® comes standard across the lineup, and the Wilderness trim adds a dual-mode system with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings. Low Speed/Low Ratio Gradient Control can help keep control and traction on steep grades at low speeds, while Hill Descent Control helps manage descents without excessive braking.
Built for the Trail
A few additional details help the Wilderness trim stand out off-road:
- A wider approach angle of 20 degrees, compared to 18 degrees on other Outback trims.
- A departure angle of 23.6 degrees for clearing obstacles behind the vehicle.
- All-terrain tires designed for grip on loose or uneven surfaces.
