The last proper Outback wagon is a sensible purchase
Subaru revealed a completely new Outback for the 2026 model year back in August, and it’s less wagon and more rugged SUV than before. Unfortunately, the new one also has a much higher price, effectively shutting out Subaru fans who appreciate a no-frills, practical, and high-value package.
The good news is that you can still lease or buy the 2025 Subaru Outback this month, but not for long, as the new model becomes available later this year. Before that happens, here’s a look at how much you can save by opting for the older but still capable model.
This Month’s Subaru Outback Lease Deals

Available now through October 31, 2025, the Subaru Outback’s lease price is $275 per month over 36 months, with $4,274 due at signing. This Outback lease deal applies specifically to the base trim and excludes tax, title, and licensing.Â
The lease for the Subaru Outback includes 10,000 miles per year, but if you exceed that, you’ll be liable for a cost of $0.15 per mile. Back in June, the base Outback could be leased for $299/month over 36 months, but with $3,049 due at signing. Then and now, it’s good value for what is a tough, reliable vehicle.Â
If you want to buy, Subaru is offering 0% APR financing for 36 months, which applies to all nine trims, including the off-road-oriented Outback Wilderness with its raised ride height. Here’s a look at pricing for the 2025 Subaru Outback:

Subaru Outback Powertrains and Features

The first five Outback trims (Base, Premium, Onyx Edition, Limited, and Touring) use a 2.5-liter Boxer four-cylinder engine producing 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. All other trims have a 2.4L turbo-four with meatier outputs of 260 hp and 277 lb-ft, which makes a substantial difference to the driving experience.
Unsurprisingly, Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel-drive system is standard, as is the company’s Lineartronic CVT. By going from the base engine to the turbo, the towing capacity increases from 2,700 to 3,500 pounds.
Although the base model is cheap to lease, you have to make do with manually-adjustable, cloth-covered seats, single-zone climate control, and the more basic infotainment centre with its unusual dual seven-inch screens. This one doesn’t even have a retractable cover for the cargo area, and it looks rather basic with its black mirrors and smaller wheels—not that flashy design is a Subaru selling point. Every other model has the more modern 11.6-inch touchscreen, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control.
Regardless of the trim, cargo space behind the second row is 32.6 cubic feet, and you get 75.6 cubic feet with the back seats folded.
Final Thoughts

Subaru
It may be going out of production soon, but the 2025 Subaru Outback’s lease and finance deals make sense at the bottom of the range. It has a price tag that handsomely undercuts the new one, and this is a vehicle that’s appealingly unpretentious without unnecessary options.Â
If you’ll be buying for $36,000 or more, though, it may be a smarter move to wait for the new model, which will have more modern design and technology.
