The 2027 Subaru Outback Premium AWD continues to refine the brand’s iconic adventure-ready crossover, blending rugged capability, everyday comfort, and modern technology into a well-rounded package designed for drivers who demand versatility in all conditions.
Power comes from an updated 2.5-liter Subaru Boxer four-cylinder engine, delivering approximately 190 horsepower through a smooth and efficient CVT transmission with simulated gear steps. Paired with Subaru’s renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the Outback Premium provides confident traction on wet pavement, snow-covered roads, and light off-road terrain. Acceleration improves slightly over previous models, while fuel efficiency rises to an estimated 29 mpg combined.
One of the Outback’s defining strengths remains its 8.7 inches of ground clearance, making it more capable than most crossovers in its class. The refined suspension setup balances ride comfort with stability, ensuring composed handling on highways while remaining durable enough for gravel roads and outdoor adventures.
