For the tow-and-travel crowd — the buyer whose Outback works for a living: trailers, five passengers, mountain grades. $44,365 starting MSRP — your out-the-door number comes in writing.

What You Get
Every trim below this one shares the 180-hp base engine. The XT's 260-hp turbo is the single most meaningful option on the 2026 Outback — and Limited XT is the cheapest way to get it.
Over the $41,715 Limited: muscle.
Power you pay for twice — once at signing, then at the pump.

The Honest Ladder
Ask yourself one question: do you tow, carry five regularly, or climb real grades loaded? If the honest answer is no, Limited at $41,715 saves you $2,650 and drives the same on your actual commute — and Premium at $34,995 saves you $9,370 with the same space, screen, and safety. The turbo is the best money on this car only when you'll actually lean on it.
Touring XT at $47,995 is the same drivetrain with the Nappa-leather everything-tier on top — $3,630 for luxury, zero for capability. Our honest take from the model page stands: Limited XT gets most buyers 95% of the Touring XT experience. The other direction is Wilderness at $44,995 — just $630 more — if your travel ends where the pavement does; that's a lift-and-tires conversation, not a luxury one.
No pressure either way — we make the same honest recommendation whether you spend $34,995 or $47,995.
Name, number, "Limited XT" — or just "help me pick." We handle the rest.
