Glassman Subaru – Touring XT Confidence for Everyday Drives around Birmingham, MI

The 2026 Outback Touring XT takes everything drivers appreciate about Subaru’s go-anywhere utility and adds an extra layer of effortless power, premium comfort, and advanced driver-assist capability. For families and professionals around Birmingham, MI who juggle school runs, office commutes, and weekend getaways, this trim brings the perfect combination of strength and sophistication. Its 260-hp 2.4-liter direct-injection turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine supplies assured passing power, while Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a revised X-MODE® system deliver composed traction when rain or snow arrives. A quieter, more spacious interior, heated and ventilated front seats, and perforated Nappa leather-trimmed upholstery create a refined daily environment, and the Subaru 12.1-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keeps your digital life close without clutter.

Touring XT also showcases Enhanced EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology with features that support driver-supervised highway travel on approved roads. Hands-Free Driving Assist, Pre-curve Speed Reduction, Automatic Resume Assist, Active Lane Change Assist, and Emergency Stop Assist with Safe Lane Selection help reduce fatigue and add comforting intelligence to longer drives, while a Surround View Monitor helps with visibility in close-quarters parking or narrow trail staging areas. Paired with a 12.3-inch full digital gauge cluster and thoughtful ergonomic touches like dedicated hard-button climate controls, the tech works naturally without demanding your attention. The result is a grand-touring demeanor that still feels every bit like an Outback—capable, confident, and easy to live with.
