Turbocharged Performance and All-Weather Assurance
Under the hood of the 2026 Subaru Outback Limited XT lies a sophisticated 2.4L H-4 gasoline direct injection engine.

The legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is the foundation of this vehicles capability, providing constant power to all four wheels for maximum traction. For those days when the Illinois weather becomes unpredictable, the X-MODE selectable drivetrain mode allows you to optimize the engine and transmission output for slippery surfaces. The mechanical refinement extends to the four-wheel independent suspension, utilizing a strut front suspension and double wishbone rear suspension to soak up road imperfections. With Auto stop-start engine technology and an active torque vectoring limited slip differential, the Outback Limited XT balances efficiency with precise handling, making it the ideal companion for the daily drive through the varied landscapes of Tinley Park.

The voice-activated audio controls and steering wheel mounted audio controls allow you to manage the Harman/Kardon speaker system without taking your eyes off the road. With four USB ports and Bluetooth wireless streaming, every passenger can stay connected and entertained. Whether you are checking the ECO feedback display for efficiency or relying on the exterior temperature display to plan your day, the technology in this vehicle is designed to be as intuitive as it is powerful.

Natural light fills the cabin through the power moonroof, while the Harman/Kardon 12-speaker audio system provides a concert-like experience.
