Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Outback remains recognizable. The 2.5-liter boxer engine returns, now producing 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque; that’s two ponies less but two lb-ft more than before. For those craving more punch, the 2.4-liter turbocharged boxer engine carries over unchanged, continuing to deliver 260 hp and 277 lb-ft.
