Subaru published its April 2026 sales figures, and the midsize Outback had its best month of the year (so far) with 10,552 units sold. That number represents a slight decrease of 8.3% from last April when it moved 11,501 units, though 2025 was a fairly impressive year for the Outback given it was in the final model year of its sixth-generation. Even still, the Outback is starting to bounce back after a rocky start to… Read More →

Fortunately for Subaru, it looks like momentum is finally shifting again, for the better. Read More →

The Subaru Ascent is nearly a decade old and the model hasn’t changed much since a facelift was introduced for 2023. As a result, consumers have turned their backs on the aging three-row crossover. Despite this, the model managed to outsell the brand’s three EVs in April. Consumers snapped up 3,472 Ascents and that’s 1,419 more than the combined sales total of the Solterra, Trailseeker, and Uncharted. Read More →

Subaru has really been taking their hybrid game much more seriously of late. First, by debuting an all-new hybrid system in the Forester last year, and now spreading it to the Crosstrek this year. A more efficient Crosstrek seems like a no-brainer to us, so grab your gear and join us for a trek through all that’s new with the latest Crosstrek. We’re well-documented fans of the Subaru Crosstrek, going back to the days when… Read More →

Subaru could probably buy out Toyota if it got a nickel every time it heard “put a turbo in the BRZ!” The brand has finally done it. The Subaru Boxer Rally Spec.Z is a turbocharged, all-wheel-drive BRZ that boasts more power than the current WRX. There’s a big catch, however: You need to be a factory pilot to drive it. Unveiled in Japan, the Boxer Rally Spec.Z was developed to compete in the JN-1 category… Read More →

Subaru is doubling down on its Wilderness subbrand by bringing a hybrid model into the fold. The 2027 Forester Wilderness Hybrid is the first electrified model to wear the Wilderness badge, and we suspect it won’t be the last. Why? Because the company says it has sold almost 250,000 Wilderness-badged Subies since 2021. The nonhybrid Forester Wilderness accounts for over 13 percent of Forester sales, and adding the hybrid powertrain as an option should help… Read More →

Subaru has been on a tear lately, quickly escalating the EV side of its SUV lineup with the Trailseeker and Uncharted joining the Solterra on dealer lots this year. Next up is a three-row family SUV called Getaway, unveiled at the 2026 New York auto show. The Getaway shares its platform—and much of its styling and interior design—with the recently unveiled Toyota Highlander EV. But while the Toyota is offered in both single- and dual-motor… Read More →
