We’ve reported that the 2026 Outback is about $6,000 more expensive than the car it replaces, but that makes sense. Subaru dropped the base version of the car for this seventh generation, and by one engineer’s math, the company was able to add about $4,000 in value for a $2,200 price increase to the new base model, which is now the Premium trim. From there, we’ve got the Limited, Touring, Limited XT and Touring XT. Of course, the Wilderness will also show up sooner rather than later.

Right off the bat, the Premium gets you all sorts of goodies like a power driver’s seat, 18-inch wheels, EyeSight, that excellent 12.1-inch infotainment screen and 12.3-inch gauge cluster, heated front seats, a billion cargo hooks, LED lights, dual-zone climate control and a bunch of other little things. It starts at $36,445, including destination.
From there, we’ve got quite a big delta. The $43,165 Limited adds 18-inch black wheels, a power passenger seat, navigation, heated rear seats, perforated leather upholstery, a power sunroof, a heated steering wheel, a Harman/Kardon stereo and a wireless phone charger. Next up is the Touring, which comes with all of the fun stuff from above, plus power-folding mirrors, a better EyeSight system, simulated Nappa leather all over, ventilated front seats, and a surround-view monitor. Prices start at $46,845, and this is where we say goodbye to the 2.5-liter engine.

The Limited XT is very similar to the Limited, but adds 19-inch alloy wheels, the lovely turbocharged engine and dual exhausts. At $45,815, it actually costs a bit less than the Touring, because you’re giving up some of the luxury features of that car for the better engine. Finally, there’s the big daddy Touring XT. It gets everything and more, including different 19-inch wheels, the hands-free Level 2 system, Nappa leather, the turbocharged motor and all sorts of other luxury goodies. It’ll set buyers back $49,445.
