Subaru Outback Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Subaru Outback is sold in six trims for 2026, and the trim names tell you a lot about the price. The 2026 lineup runs from the Premium to the Touring XT, with the Wilderness sitting in the middle as the off-road-focused version.

Every trim price here comes from TrueCar and includes the destination charge. That means you can compare trims against each other directly, but you should not add the destination fee on top.

The Premium is the entry trim at $36,445. The Limited is next at $43,165, and the Limited XT costs $45,815.

The Wilderness is listed at $46,445. The Touring costs $46,845, and the Touring XT, the most expensive trim, costs $49,445.

The gap between the Premium and the Limited is the biggest single step in the lineup. After that, the trims sit closer together. If you are weighing the Wilderness against the Touring, look at the standard equipment on each, because the price difference between them is small compared with the difference in what you get.

Subaru's destination charge for the 2026 Outback is $1,450, according to TrueCar.

This is a fixed charge on every new Outback, and it appears on the window sticker. The trim prices on this page already contain it. If an advertisement quotes a lower figure, check whether it is before destination.

• Trim. Each step up changes the standard equipment.
• Options and packages. Subaru sells accessories and packages separately. Their prices vary by trim, so use Subaru's build tool for the exact vehicle.
• Color. Some paint colors may cost extra.
• Dealer-installed items. Accessories added at the dealership should show up as separate lines.
• Model year. A 2026 Outback and a 2025 one can differ in price and equipment. Check the year on the window sticker.

The three mid-to-upper trims each target a different buyer:

• Limited. The first step above the Premium.
• Wilderness. Built with off-road use in mind. If you never leave pavement, you may be paying for capability you will not use.
• Touring. Priced above the Wilderness and below the Touring XT.

Pick based on how you use the car. Pricing alone will not tell you which one fits.

An Outback can sell at, above, or below the sticker depending on your region and the dealer's supply. The MSRP does not reflect any of these. A markup is the dealer's decision and is negotiable, and a discount is never guaranteed.

Request itemized out-the-door quotes from several dealers. Each should show the vehicle price, destination, documentation fees, taxes, and add-ons as separate lines.

• Fuel. Fuel use depends on the trim and your driving. Compare the official economy figures for the trim you want.
• Insurance. Rates depend on your record, location, and trim.
• Tires. Off-road-oriented tires on the Wilderness can cost more to replace than standard ones. Replace worn tires promptly, since they affect braking and grip.
• Maintenance. Follow the owner's manual and ask the dealer about warranty coverage.
• Registration and taxes. These vary by state.

Monthly payments depend on credit, loan term, down payment, and rate. Subaru sometimes advertises finance or lease offers on certain trims, and they change. Compare them with a quote from your bank or credit union. For advice on your own finances, consult a licensed financial professional.
