2026 Subaru Outback sighting!!

[simons]

I'm keeping my 24 outback. This looks like any other SUV on the road. A box on wheels!! The whole beauty of outback was the wagon look. Subaru is making a big mistake!!!

This will look better in person, every Subaru does.

[ginopalomo]

Looks like a lousy Ford Explorer to me. Please Subaru: Don’t kill our traditional Outback 😭

[SomethingVISCID]

The main reason we bought an Outback over the Ascent, was the Outback handled more like a car. The driving experience was better. I certainly hope that feeling isn't totally gone with the redesign.

Bummer, I like the outback because it is a wagon. Now it looks like a ford explorer.

[CaliVapor]

There goes the Subaru hot hatch… outback XT wagon for the win!

[mikam]

Reminds me of The Wagon Queen Family Truckster. Can you see it in “metallic pea”?

[MasonLovesSubarus]

I honestly like new new Outback redesign. Is it just me?

[pondwithducks]

best view we've had so far. thanks for posting

[TJDawgs]

If I was Subaru, I would leave the Outback alone and make the Forrester more of a sportier SUV. I think the Crosstrek and the Outback are probably just about perfect the way they are…a few minor design tweaks here and there. But the Forrester I think should be more of a traditional SUV type of design that it is right now.

Shame. I was considering the wagon for '25/26...not anymore. If I wanted an SUV I'd buy one

[nthdegree]

It's hard to understand what they were thinking....

[AnjanSingh-ql]

Its better. This current outback looks like a crosstrek, tiny, no headroom.

[drpepper]

Glad I just bought a 2025 outback. Maybe it will be better than it appears here.

[johnnylau]

That looks more likely ascent than the outback, especially the signature roof rack with crossbar built-in

[sampsonliao]

There's no way it's too big 😂

[carl]

Guys what’s this, an Outback is NOT an SUV!! We want the feel of driving a car

[sergeantbigmac]

So whats the point of having the Ascent model in the lineup then if Subaru just rendered it pointless. Unless thats also getting bigger and will compete with Tahoe sized rigs?

[TexasNativee]

People liked the Outback for the wagon style, why go a complete change it when it didn’t need to. Now it looks like every other suv. What were they thinking…

[Snoopy-qekt]

G-d I hope not!! That looks horrible. Like a bloated Forrester or the Ascent.
