Overview

The Subaru Outback is a five-seat D-segment petrol wagon for drivers who want all-wheel drive and a higher-riding alternative to a conventional estate. Malaysia’s 2024-launched BT generation starts from RM279,000, with a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre boxer-four or a more powerful 2.4-litre turbo boxer-four, both paired with a CVT.

For 2026, the seventh-generation Subaru Outback has been shown with a more rugged look, standard CVT and AWD, plus a choice of 2.5-litre naturally aspirated or 2.4-litre turbo boxer engines. A Wilderness variant also returns. Malaysia’s BT-generation range remains the 2.5i-T EyeSight and 2.4 XT Touring, with no Malaysian seventh-generation launch or local specification announced here.

The Outback is a distinct proposition in Malaysia: a five-seat wagon with petrol boxer power, AWD and a CVT rather than an SUV body. The 2.5i-T covers the core mechanical brief with 185 hp, while the XT Touring adds meaningful output at 246 hp but asks substantially more money. Choose it for the turbo engine, not merely for the trim name.
