The 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness Apex is just that – the flagship version of the seventh-generation series.
Priced from $62,690, before on-road costs, the Apex comes with a few more features above the regular Wilderness – namely, an electric sunroof, sat-nav, 360-degree view monitor and 12-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio.
And only the Wilderness models feature water-repellent seat trim, different fog lights, black-finish alloys and embossed seats.
Standard kit includes powered and heated front seats, heated outboard rear seats, wireless charger, climate control, a 12.1-inch multimedia touchscreen, 12.3-inch electronic instrumentation, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a powered tailgate, X-Mode off-road mode, roof rails and 18-inch alloy wheels with a full-sized spare.
Safety-wise, AEB, rear-cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, a blind-spot monitor, traffic-sign recognition and adaptive cruise control headline the ADAS tech, plus there are nine airbags – including a front-centre item.
Being a Wilderness, the Apex boasts a 2.4-litre horizontally-opposed ‘boxer’ four-cylinder turbo petrol engine, pumping out 194kW of power at 5600rpm and 382Nm of torque between 2000rpm and 3600rpm. No manual, though, so drivers have to make do with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with eight artificial steps, sending drive to all four wheels.
Finally, like the standard Wilderness, the Apex’s combined average fuel consumption figure is a high-ish 9.7L/100km, for a carbon dioxide emissions rating of 228 grams per kilometre. Expect to achieve a range of about 648km from empty if you fill up your tank with the required 91 RON standard unleaded petrol.
