* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  Subaru has a strong reputation for reliability, and the Outback is expected to continue this trend. Its robust build quality suggests it will hold up well over time.
• Maintenance (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  Maintenance costs are generally reasonable for the Outback. Parts are readily available, and the Boxer engine design, while unique, doesn't typically incur excessive service expenses.
• Technology (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  The infotainment system is functional but can feel a bit dated compared to some rivals. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, which is a plus, but the overall interface could be more intuitive.
• Comfort (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The interior is spacious and the seats are supportive, making long journeys comfortable. Road noise is well-managed, contributing to a serene cabin environment.
• Dynamics (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The 2026 Outback Premium offers a composed and stable ride, especially on varied terrain. While not a performance SUV, its symmetrical all-wheel drive provides confident handling and good grip.
