Drive an Outback
An Outback is the Subaru car rental for travelers who want all-season traction and space to spare. Every trim comes with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Redesigned for 2026, the seventh-generation Outback wears a bolder, blockier look and still seats five.
On Turo, you book your Outback from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup or delivery that fits your plans. Pick your dates, choose your trim, and you're ready to roll.

Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive on every trim
Every 2026 Outback comes with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, so you get steady traction without flipping a switch. Standard X-MODE adds extra traction support when rain, snow, or steep mountain highways show up on your route. With up to 9.5 in of ground clearance (8.7 in on Premium), snowy driveways and slushy ski-resort parking lots feel a lot less stressful.
Room for five and all their gear
The Outback gives you 34.6 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats. That's room for suitcases, a cooler, and a stack of backpacks, with the rear seats still up for passengers.
Fold those seats flat and the space grows to 80.5 cu ft, enough for ski bags, folding chairs, and a weekend's worth of groceries. Five seats mean the whole crew rides together while the gear rides behind them. That wagon-style flexibility keeps a long trip organized from the first mile — and keeps duffel bags off everyone's knees.
Turbo power when you want more
The base 2.5L boxer engine makes 180 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque, a steady match for commutes, city errands, and highway cruising. Want more pull for passing or climbing? The Limited XT, Touring XT, and Wilderness trims step up to a 2.4L turbo with 260 hp and 277 lb-ft.
Both engines pair with a CVT that includes an eight-speed manual shift mode, so you can choose your own gears on long mountain grades. The turbo trades a little efficiency for that extra punch, with a rating of 24 mpg combined. Wilderness also adds extra ground clearance, so check the listing if those details matter for your trip.
Stand out with an Outback
An Outback fits ski weekends, family visits, and national-park road trips on paved routes. It's also a smart stand-in while your own car is in the shop. Compare Outback listings by year, trim, and location on Turo's car rental marketplace, and turn your trip into an extended test drive.
Top Outback features
Road-trip fuel economy
The 2.5L Outback earns 27 mpg combined (25 city and 31 highway), so long drives don't mean constant fuel stops. That up-to-31-mpg highway rating shines on interstate stretches between cities, national parks, and ski towns.
The Outback also carries an 18-gallon fuel tank, which gives you a comfortable cushion between gas stations on rural routes. Pair that with all-wheel drive and plenty of cargo space, and you've got a road-trip partner for the big miles. Just note that turbo XT engines are rated at 24 mpg combined, so check which engine your Outback has before you plan fuel stops.
Driver-assist and connected tech
The Outback comes with EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, a welcome co-pilot on long drives. It's an extra layer of support when you're navigating unfamiliar roads in a new city. That backup comes in handy on long interstate days, when your focus starts to fade.
Inside, STARLINK multimedia keeps your music, maps, and calls within easy reach. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto bring your playlists and favorite navigation app along for the ride. Features vary by year and trim, so check the listing for the exact tech in your Outback before you book.
Recognized reliability and heritage
The 2026 Outback earned a spot as a Consumer Reports Recommended Model, a useful signal when you want a rental you can count on. That recognition lands on a fully redesigned model, which matters if you want the newest version.
Now in its seventh generation, the Outback reflects years of refining wagon-style space and standard all-wheel drive. The 2026 version brings a more modern, blockier design while keeping the practical layout Outback fans know. For you, that means a proven setup with a fresh look, whether you're renting for a weekend getaway or a month-long stay.
Top tips and things to know before renting a Outback
Get to know your Outback

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
