Subaru of America recently announced that the redesigned 2026 Subaru Outback Touring and Touring XT have been named to the prestigious Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX List, recognizing the vehicle's exceptional interior design, technology, comfort, and user experience.

WardsAuto Recognizes the Redesigned 2026 Subaru Outback
Each year, WardsAuto evaluates the newest vehicles on the market, examining factors such as interior design, comfort, infotainment systems, connectivity, safety technology, displays, materials, and overall value.
For 2026, the judges reviewed 28 all-new, redesigned, and significantly refreshed vehicles. The seventh-generation Subaru Outback stood out thanks to its completely redesigned interior, upgraded technology, premium materials, and thoughtful functionality.
The result was a well-deserved place on the 2026 Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX List.
Premium Interior Design Elevates the Subaru Outback Experience
One of the most praised aspects of the new Outback is its upscale cabin design.
The 2026 Subaru Outback Touring and Touring XT feature available Java Brown and Slate Black Nappa leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, heated front and rear seats, and premium soft-touch materials throughout the cabin.
WardsAuto judges specifically highlighted the luxurious feel of the interior, praising the rich textures, premium finishes, and overall attention to detail that help make the Outback one of the most refined Subaru vehicles ever produced.
Advanced Technology and User-Friendly Infotainment
Technology plays a major role in the Outback's award-winning user experience.
The 2026 Subaru Outback features:
- All-new 12.1-inch infotainment touchscreen
- New 12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® integration
- Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility
- Cloud-based voice recognition
- Hybrid navigation system
- Faster processing and improved responsiveness
The redesigned system allows drivers to customize their experience while maintaining intuitive controls and easy access to essential vehicle functions.
More Passenger Space and Cargo Capacity Than Ever Before
The redesigned Subaru Outback doesn't just look better—it offers greater practicality as well.
For 2026, the Outback receives a taller roofline and expanded cargo area, providing 34.6 cubic feet of cargo space. The cargo area is taller and wider than previous generations, giving drivers more flexibility for road trips, outdoor adventures, grocery runs, and everyday hauling needs.
These enhancements continue the Outback's tradition of blending SUV capability with exceptional everyday usability.
Touring XT Delivers Turbocharged Performance
Drivers seeking additional performance can opt for the 2026 Subaru Outback Touring XT.
The Touring XT features Subaru's turbocharged 2.4-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine producing 260 horsepower. Combined with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and advanced safety technologies, the Touring XT delivers confident performance in a wide variety of driving conditions.
Why the 2026 Subaru Outback Continues to Stand Out
For nearly three decades, the Subaru Outback has built a reputation as one of America's favorite adventure-ready SUVs. The 2026 redesign further strengthens that reputation with:
- Award-winning interior design
- Premium Nappa leather seating
- Advanced driver-assist technologies
- Enhanced infotainment and connectivity
- Increased cargo capacity
- Available turbocharged performance
- Standard Subaru capability and confidence
With more than 3 million Outback models sold in the United States, the newest generation demonstrates why the Outback remains a leader in its segment.
