Compare The Subaru Outback to the Competitors
New Subaru Outback vs. The SUV Competition
Love has a whole new look, as evidenced by the redesigned 2026 Subaru Outback. With more confident capability, advanced safety, and tough style, the completely redesigned Subaru Outback is running laps around the SUV competition. At Dan Perkins Subaru, we've compiled a detailed comparison, so SUV shoppers can see how the reimagined Subaru Outback stacks up against rivals like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Compare SUV options and discover all of the upgrades to the new Subaru Outback models for sale in Milford, CT.
Subaru Outback vs. Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V has a standard 9-inch color touchscreen and available 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster. These screens cannot keep pace with the new standard technology of the Subaru Outback, which has a larger 12.1-inch high-resolution touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Upgraded EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology for the 2026 Subaru Outback holds an edge over the Honda Sensing® suite of the Honda CR-V. Have confidence driving around Fairfield County, CT, in any condition with the new Subaru Outback providing standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Real Time AWD™ is available but not standard for the Honda CR-V.
Much to the delight of Danbury, CT, adventure seekers, Subaru Outback Wilderness models benefit from upgraded off-road capability. The Honda CR-V TrailSport has similar all-terrain tires but cannot match the 9.5 inches of ground clearance on the Subaru Outback Wilderness. While the Subaru Outback delivers 180 horsepower with its base, non-turbocharged engine, the Honda CR-V outputs 190 horsepower through a turbocharged engine. The new Subaru Outback produces 70 additional horsepower through a comparable turbocharged engine.
Subaru Outback vs. Toyota RAV4
Both the RAV4 and Outback have been redesigned for the 2026 model year. Upgraded EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology for the Subaru Outback counters the Toyota Safety Sense™ 4.0 suite that makes its debut on the 2026 RAV4. The Outback gains an edge through the newly available Hands-Free Assist feature. Subaru has been rated #1 in safety for six years in a row. All-wheel drive is an option for the RAV4, and there's no X-MODE® like the Subaru Outback offers. Stay connected as you run errands around New Haven, CT, with the Subaru Outback featuring a new standard Subaru 12.1-inch Multimedia System. RAV4 SUVs have a standard 10.5-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia System.
The RAV4, now exclusively a hybrid, generates 236 net combined horsepower. The Subaru Outback delivers 260 max horsepower through a turbocharged BOXER® engine. Standard roof rails on the Subaru Outback support up to 800 pounds of static load and provide Norwalk, CT, families with the versatility needed to transport extra equipment, such as kayaks, skis, and cargo carriers for their New England adventures. You have to upgrade to the RAV4 Woodland for raised roof rails. The RAV4 Woodland is an all-terrain model that counters the Subaru Outback Wilderness, which introduces new electronically controlled dampers to deliver improved traction and superior ride comfort.
