The 2027 Subaru Outback arrives with a new entry-level trim priced at $32,995 MSRP, lowering the starting point by $2,000 compared to the 2026 model. Most other trims also see an average price drop of $1,000, making the Outback lineup more affordable without cutting back on technology, capability, or driver-assistance features.

This pricing shift reflects Subaru's focus on delivering value to families and new car buyers seeking affordable, safe, and reliable SUVs. The new base model includes premium features like a 12.1-inch multimedia touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, EyeSight® Driver-Assist Technology, and heated front seats as standard.

What it means for you

If you’re shopping for a midsize SUV with strong safety credentials and all-wheel drive, the 2027 Outback offers more value at a lower price point. The new base trim makes the Outback accessible to budget-conscious buyers without sacrificing key features like a large touchscreen, driver-assist tech, and all-weather capability.

For those wanting more luxury or off-road capability, the price reductions on the Limited, Touring, and Wilderness trims mean you get more premium features and capability for less money than before.

The 2027 Subaru Outback will be available at dealerships nationwide later this year, assembled in Gunma, Japan.
