Subaru Outback
Subaru is making a major move with its new Outback. While the outgoing model was a high-riding wagon, the new 2026 model has morphed into an SUV. Subaru has improved interior space in order to appeal to families. As in previous years, two engines are available including a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder and a turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder. The company has not planned a hybrid option, at least not for now.
