For thirty years, Outback has been part of New Zealand’s story. It has tackled back roads to the bach, crossed mountain passes, navigated gravel, snow and rain, and carried families to places they would rather be. It has earned its name through experience.
Now, the all-new Subaru Outback range takes that legacy further. Every model is more refined, more capable and more connected to the way Kiwis live today. And arriving with the seventh-generation Subaru Outback, is the Wilderness, embodying the evolution of Subaru’s most iconic nameplate.
Subaru Outback does not just get you there; it inspires you to go beyond, explore deeper and rediscover the pure joy of the journey.
A new Subaru has arrived in New Zealand for those who feel most alive when the road runs out. The Subaru Wilderness is built for explorers seeking adventures beyond the ordinary.
With a tougher stance, higher clearance, and engineered with capability you can feel the moment the terrain turns rough. It's more than a variant. It is a mindset for those who chase quiet horizons, dirt tracks, steep climbs and the kind of freedom that only exists away from the everyday.
Not every drive is the same and that's where Outback stands apart.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) delivers constant traction across changing surfaces, while generous ground clearance helps you stay in control when conditions become less predictable.
The all-new Subaru Outback has been shaped by purpose. Every line, surface and proportion has been reimagined to express capability, confidence and discovery, the essence of what it means to be Subaru.
Its bolder, more distinct silhouette speaks to strength and utility, a form that is as functional as it is powerful. With a higher stance, 18-inch alloy wheels, purposeful cladding and a new LED headlamp design, it projects quiet authority, equally at home in the city or deep in the wild.
A new 12.1-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital display bring navigation, media and vehicle information together in a way that feels intuitive from the start.
Stay connected with wireless Apple CarPlay® & Android AutoTM* , keep devices powered with Wireless phone charging* and USB-A & USB-C ports and enjoy a more immersive drive with a Harman Kardon®* premium audio system*.

Safety remains central to Subaru.

Features include Pre-Collision Braking, Side Alert Assist, Emergency Driving Stop System* and Emergency Lane Keep Assist. Traffic Sign Recognition supports Adaptive Cruise Control, while a stronger body structure and nine airbags add confidence on every journey.
*Emergency Driving Stop System (EDSS) operates only when Lane Centering Function is operating. Refer to Owner's Manual for full details.

"The new Outback is larger and more SUV-like in its proportions than ever before, with a stronger, more upright front end and flatter, bolder surfacing, but still shows its distinctive wagon origins it is so beloved for."
"Leading the range is the Outback Wilderness, making its New Zealand debut as the most adventure-ready Outback Subaru has ever offered, and it’s positioned as a genuine step up in hardware, clearance and intent."
"Surviving thirty years in these great southern lands is no easy feat! Now in its seventh generation, the Subaru Outback has gone the way of a full blown SUV but still maintains the key ingredients that made it such a success. Styling is wagon-esque, looks are tough and backed up by genuine off-road capability. "
