The 2027 Subaru Outback Limited AWD advances the beloved Outback formula with upgrades to performance, efficiency, technology, and premium comfort — while preserving the signature symmetrical all-wheel drive and rugged versatility that define the model.
At its heart is a refined 2.5-liter Subaru BOXER four-cylinder engine with direct injection, producing about 190-195 horsepower and enhanced torque. Mated to an 8-speed CVT with manual mode simulation, the drivetrain delivers smoother acceleration and improved responsiveness across driving conditions. With optimized engine calibration and drivetrain efficiency, the Outback Limited achieves an estimated ~29-30 mpg combined — making it both capable and economical for everyday use or long highway travel.
