Subaru of America, Inc. proudly announced that their latest model, the 2026 Outback Touring and Touring XT, has made it to the prestigious Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX list for 2026. This recognition highlights the vehicle's sophisticated design and advanced features, marking a significant achievement for Subaru in its first year of this model's release.

The judges from WardsAuto evaluated a total of 28 vehicles, assessing numerous criteria that included aesthetics, comfort, and the integration of advanced technologies. Their verdict? The 2026 Outback excels in every aspect.

Judge Drew Winter remarked, "The Outback Touring has the most luxurious Subaru interior I've ever seen. The rich brown and black surfaces are beautifully textured and give a premium look, featuring luxurious amenities like ventilated and heated seating."

A Bold New Redesign

The 2026 Outback marks the biggest design overhaul in the model’s history. Its interior exudes a modern and calmer aesthetic, thoughtfully featuring materials that include a headliner sourced from recycled plastic bottles. Subaru has also focused on user convenience: the all-new 12.1-inch infotainment display and 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster are strategically placed for optimal accessibility. Enhanced climate controls, including dedicated hard buttons and a knob interface, contribute to a driving experience that prioritizes comfort and ease.

Additionally, the vehicle offers an impressive cargo capacity of 34.6 cubic feet, 2 cubic feet more than its predecessor. The spacious design, characterized by a 2-inch taller roofline, enhances both passenger and cargo space significantly, accommodating broader items with a load floor width of 43.3 inches—wider than many competitors.

Advanced Technology Features

The newest Outback is equipped with cutting-edge technology. The 12.1-inch infotainment touchscreen is exceptionally responsive, backed by a new processor which enhances customization options. Owners will appreciate the standard compatibility for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing seamless integration of smartphones with the vehicle's systems. Adding unprecedented flexibility is the advanced hybrid navigation system, which combines onboard data with cloud-based information ensuring up-to-date mapping and efficient route planning.
