NEW YORK – Without a doubt, the 2026 Subaru Outback’s redesign is the most radical in this model’s long history. In 1994, the automaker created the original recipe by giving the Legacy wagon an off-road makeover, and the hyper-popular result set the template for three decades of Outback wagons. This one, unveiled today at the New York Auto Show, is different. With the Legacy discontinued, the Outback no longer shares its structure with a sedan.

In the wake of the Trump administration’s “Liberation Day” tariff announcement, prices on a vast array of consumer goods are expected to increase. That’s especially true in the U.S. car market, which imported about eight million vehicles in 2024 — fully half the new-vehicle market. Even vehicles built in American plants will be affected, with an estimated 50% of their parts coming from outside the country.

If President Donald Trump's new tariff scheme was announced one day earlier, you could have written it off as a poorly conceived April Fools’ Day joke. However, import taxes are very real, and they will have far-reaching consequences around the globe. Perhaps no other segment will be hit as hard as the auto industry, and consumers, who will end up paying more out of pocket for a wide swath of goods, will share their pain.
