Wilderness makes its New Zealand debut, introducing the most adventure-ready and capable Subaru ever engineered, with an exclusive 2.4-litre turbocharged Boxer engine, 240 mm of ground clearance and improved approach/departure angles.
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.

The Outback Wilderness badge sets it apart and completes the rugged styling look.
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.
All-new seventh-generation Outback features a completely redesigned SUV profile.
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.
Wilderness exclusively receives the more powerful 2.4-litre turbocharged Boxer, producing 194 kW and 382 Nm4 – a boost over the previous generation turbo.
For those who crave the thrill of turbocharged adventures and freedom to explore without limits, the all-new Subaru Outback Wilderness delivers. Powered by a 2.4-litre direct injected turbocharged Boxer engine producing 194kW of power, it’s built to take you further.
Or choose the all-new Subaru Outback with a 2.5-litre direct injected Boxer engine, engineered for proven performance and improved efficiency from weekday errands to elevated weekend adventures.
In Wilderness, capability is elevated again through exclusive suspension tuning, even higher ground clearance and electronically controlled dampers linked with X-Mode.
The all-new Outback from Subaru is built to help you explore more of New Zealand with confidence. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the Subaru Global Platform, and X-Mode deliver balance and control on steep or slippery terrain. With 220mm of ground clearance*, it’s ready for everyday adventure. The Outback Wilderness raises capability further, offering 240mm clearance*, enhanced approach and departure angles, and exclusive suspension tuning with e-Damper for composure on demanding tracks.
The interior introduces an all-new 12.1-inch horizontal infotainment touchscreen - replacing the previous vertical display – with up to 2.5 times faster processing than the prior generation, enhancing usability.
Technology in the all-new Outback from Subaru is designed to be intuitive. A responsive 12.1" touchscreen with customisable layouts keeps key functions close, while the 12.3" digital instrument cluster displays essential information clearly. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™4 reduce clutter, and over-the-air updates keep the system current. Selected variants add a 12-speaker Harman Kardon®6 premium audio system9 for rich, immersive sound—technology that enhances every journey without distraction.
Safety remains central to Subaru. The all-new Outback advances protection with the latest EyeSight® Driver Assist, combining a wide-angle monocular camera and front radar to detect cyclists, pedestrians and intersections. Features include Pre-Collision Braking, Side Alert Assist, Emergency Driving Stop System² 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.
