A new Subaru Wilderness for sale is the ultimate blend of everyday SUV ease and incredible adventuring capability. Each of the three Wilderness models starts out as a popular Subaru SUV, and then becomes an upgraded, all-terrain-ready version of itself. Whether you’re interested in the Crosstrek Wilderness or the Outback Wilderness, read on to learn more about the 2026 lineup, and then schedule a test-drive at Quantrell Subaru in Lexington, KY, today!
The smallest new Subaru Wilderness for sale is no compromise: it’s the pinnacle of compact SUV capability, weaving around tight trails like a squirrel dashing through tree branches and trunks. But with surprising spaciousness and safety for its size, the new Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is equally suited to large adventures, especially if they call for a trailer full of gear.
Larger than the Crosstrek Wilderness, yet still compact and agile, the Forester Wilderness takes the same formula to a higher level. From enhanced Dual-Function X-MODE and high-clearance bumpers to an extra two degrees of hill-climbing capability and strengthened roof rails, the new Subaru Forester Wilderness leads the charge and looks great doing it.
Turbocharged strength and next-level capabilities come together beautifully in the new Subaru Outback Wilderness. It’s the largest, most powerful, and most thoroughly upgraded new Subaru Wilderness for sale, making it your ultimate companion for road trips to rough-terrain destinations in Kentucky. And all of that is on top of the already-capable package you get with a “normal” Subaru Outback.
A 2026 Subaru Wilderness for sale indeed can be one of three models. However, it’s appropriate to refer to all three using the same term, “a Subaru Wilderness,” as they all have the same focus. Specifically, regardless of which model it began as, a new Subaru Wilderness for sale offers significant upgrades to two key areas of the vehicle:
You can tell a new Subaru Wilderness apart from the rest of the Subaru lineup by those upgraded exterior features, which will include signature rugged body cladding, distinct Anodized Copper accents, and a raised ride height on all three models.
As for their interiors, a new Subaru Wilderness for sale will have high-trim amenities plus capable upgrades like the Forester Wilderness SUV’s 180-Degree Front View Monitor and StarTex upholstery with exclusive copper-colored accent stitching.
Now, let’s get into the difference you’ll feel from behind the wheel: every new 2026 Subaru Wilderness model has several performance enhancements for off-road fun and on-road confidence.
First, the raised ride height gives you a more commanding view of the road. Second, special suspension, Yokohama GEOLANDAR® (or equivalent) tires, and a Dual-Function X-MODE system (with available enhancements) make the vehicle far more capable. And, third, all Wilderness models have revised drivetrain gearing, making their engine’s output more forceful and therefore more capable in extreme conditions; this gearing also helps achieve superior low-speed, uneven-terrain climbing abilities, alongside a stronger towing capacity.
As for the specifics, every Crosstrek Wilderness has the following key performance and adventure-oriented features:
