Browse key highlights below, or contact our sales team to schedule a test drive and learn more today.

Passenger Space and Cargo Volume

From camping at Fort Dummer State Park to weekend road trips along I-91, having a versatile interior with plenty of storage space is a necessity. Drivers receive impressive flexibility inside the 2026 Subaru Outback with up to 80.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity. In comparison, the 2026 Nissan Rogue comes with up to 74.1 cubic feet of cargo capacity, while the 2026 Toyota RAV4 only achieves up to 70.4 cubic feet of cargo space, and the 2026 Mazda CX-50 provides a meager 56.3 cubic feet of room for your gear.

When it comes to front legroom, the Subaru Outback features 43.0 inches of space compared to the Mazda CX-50 with 41.7 inches, Nissan Rogue with 41.5 inches, and the Toyota RAV4 with 41.0 inches. Rear legroom is a similar story with the Subaru Outback delivering 39.5 inches, while the Mazda CX-50 offers a slight advantage with 39.8 inches. However, the Nissan Rogue measures in at 38.5 inches, while the Toyota RAV4 only offers 37.8 inches of rear legroom.

Off-Roading and Capability

2026 Subaru Outback SUVs feature standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for predictable handling in changing weather conditions. While all-wheel drive is standard for Mazda CX-50 SUVs and optional for the Nissan Rogue or Toyota RAV4, all three models only send power to the rear axle after wheel slip is detected, reducing confidence and stability when you need it most.

Subaru Outback SUVs also feature up to 8.7 inches of ground clearance compared to the Mazda CX-50 Meridian Edition with up to 8.6 inches, the Toyota RAV4 Woodland with up to 8.5 inches, or Nissan Rogue Rock Creek with up to 8.2 inches of ground clearance. Plus, the 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness provides 9.5 inches of ground clearance, electronically-controlled suspension dampers, and advanced dual-function X-MODE® to take you further into the mountains.

Safety Features

No matter where life takes you, the 2026 Subaru Outback stays on the lookout for potential hazards as you cruise around Vermont thanks to the EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology suite. Standard programs include comprehensive programs like Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, Pre-Collision Braking with Reverse Automatic Braking, Emergency Lane Keep Assist, Emergency Stop Assist, Automatic Emergency Steering, DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System, Blind-Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist, and more.

While the Mazda CX-50, Toyota RAV4, and Nissan Rogue offer standard and available features that come close, the 2026 Subaru Outback is the only model available with Hands-Free Driving Assistance that includes Pre-Curve Speed Control, Active Lane Change Assist, and Automatic Resume Assist. While the Toyota RAV4 is available with similar functionality, drivers only receive hands-free driving support at speeds under 25 mph.

Technology

If you enjoy receiving directions, taking phone calls, or listening to music behind the wheel, the 2026 Subaru Outback has you covered with a standard 12.1-inch Subaru Multimedia System touchscreen. In comparison, the 2026 Toyota RAV4 provides a standard 10.5-inch touchscreen, the 2026 Mazda CX-50 features a standard 10.25-inch touchscreen, and the 2026 Nissan Rogue only features a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen.

In addition, the 2026 Subaru Outback delivers a standard 12.3-inch configurable fully digital instrument cluster display, matching the 12.3-inch digital instrument display in the Toyota RAV4. However, the Nissan Rogue and Mazda CX-50 only provide a standard 7.0-inch digital cluster display, which doesn't provide the same level of customization or clarity.

Pricing and Features

While the 2026 Subaru Outback Premium has a slightly higher starting price than its competitors, drivers receive far more standard features, including Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Power Rear Gate with Memory, StarTex® water-repellent upholstery, Raised Roof Rails, and an All-Weather Package with Heated Front Seats, Heated Side Mirrors, and a Windshield Wiper De-Icer.
