Introducing the 2026 Outback Touring: A New Standard in Midsize SUVs
Subaru has reimagined the Outback for 2026, transitioning away from its wagon roots toward a more commanding SUV presence, perfectly aligned with the preferences of families and professionals in Jacksonville and surrounding communities like St. Marys and Atlantic Beach. The Outback Touring aims to satisfy the needs of drivers seeking both reliable daily transportation and weekend versatility without compromising on style or utility.
This model carries forward the legacy of Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive, standard on every trim, to ensure confident handling through the variable weather conditions experienced in the Jacksonville region. Under the hood, the Touring trim maintains the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter BOXER® engine delivering 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, mated to a smooth, continuously variable transmission (CVT). This powertrain strikes an excellent balance between efficiency and responsiveness, optimized for suburban runs as well as longer ventures toward Middleburg or Yulee.
With the 2026 Outback, Subaru has amplified interior space, elevating rear passenger comfort by increasing headroom and cargo capacity—key for families trekking from Orange Park to Ponte Vedra Beach with all their gear. The 34.6 cubic feet of cargo volume—the largest in Outback history—allows for greater loading flexibility whether it’s recreational equipment or everyday essentials.
This redesigned Outback embraces a more upright and robust shape, signaling its SUV ambition without sacrificing the practicality we’ve come to expect from Subaru vehicles.
Bold and Functional Exterior Design
Sleek, Stylish Presence with Purpose
The 2026 Outback Touring exhibits a significantly refreshed exterior that pairs contemporary style with purposeful function tailored for Jacksonville’s diverse environments. Its front fascia now features a larger grille and repositioned LED headlights that provide a sharper, more modern face, enhancing nighttime visibility on coastal drives toward Jacksonville Beach or Atlantic Beach.
Enhanced Utility with Roof Rack and Cargo Solutions
Emphasizing outdoor readiness, the Touring’s roof rails have been upgraded to endure heavy-duty use, supporting dynamic loads up to 220 pounds and static weights as high as 800 pounds. Whether you’re hauling kayaks to the St. Marys waterfront or loading camping equipment for a weekend getaway near Kingsland, these roof rails add substantial practicality to the Outback’s profile.
Optimized Ground Clearance and Dimensions for Versatile Driving
The Outback continues to boast 8.7 inches of ground clearance on the Touring trim, granting confidence over uneven terrain or urban obstacles common in the Jacksonville area. Its widened, squared-off body design not only accentuates a sturdy aesthetic but also translates to improved interior roominess and cargo capacity, accommodating the demands of family adventures or professional hauling needs.
