Overview
The Subaru Outback is a D-segment wagon with a raised, outdoorsy brief rather than a conventional sedan shape. In Malaysia, the BT-generation car is a five-seat petrol CVT model with standard EyeSight and two engine choices. Prices start from RM280,390, so it suits buyers who want a wagon and are prepared to pay above the only listed same-class rival.
Outback in 2026 — what's new
For Malaysia, the BT Outback carries on into 2026 as the two-variant range launched in 2024: the naturally aspirated 2.5i-T EyeSight and the turbocharged 2.4 XT Touring. The 2026 seventh-generation Outback has debuted with a more rugged look, the return of the Wilderness variant, and 2.5-litre naturally aspirated or 2.4-litre turbo petrol power, but the Malaysian range remains the 2024-launched BT line-up.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the 2.5i-T EyeSight at RM280,390. It already gets the five-seat petrol CVT format and EyeSight, with a 2,498 cc engine making 185 hp. Pay RM30,000 more for the 2.4 XT Touring at RM310,390 only if you want the turbo engine and its 246 hp output. Both are CVT automatics; on paper, the clear mechanical jump is power.

Subaru Outback buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Outback is a niche choice in Malaysia: a raised D-segment wagon with standard EyeSight, petrol power and five seats. It is not a cheap way into this class. The Mazda 6 Grand Touring is listed from RM230,848, which makes the entry Outback RM49,542 dearer. The stronger case is the 2.4 XT Touring, because the turbo engine gives it a clear performance difference over the 185 hp 2.5i-T.
