First Drive: 2026 Subaru Solterra EV Gets a Major Freshening to Catch Up to the Competition

Subaru and Toyota are about to enter the fourth model year of their joint electric vehicle project, and to celebrate, they’ve made some big changes to deliver a more competitive EV. The 2026 Subaru Solterra (and similar Toyota BZ) features a standard NACS (North American Charging System) Tesla-style charge port, more power from new motors, faster charging speeds for the slightly larger battery, and under-the-skin improvements to reduce noise and improve ride and handling.

Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD Is More Than Just Branding – Here’s How It Works

It’s challenging to picture an Outback, Forester, or Crosstrek without immediately conjuring images of these vehicles handling rugged terrain or plowing through snow with ease. The reason is that Japanese automaker Subaru has made an effort to market its models with all-wheel drive (AWD). In fact, we got a hold of a 2025 Subaru Crosstrek with Symmetrical AWD and X-Mode, finding it a great budget option for those who appreciate functionality over flashy extras. While… Read More →

Hey Subaru, Can We Get a Version of Performance-B STI Concept, Please?

Subaru’s additional big debut at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show was a car that seems more real than its Performance-E STI standmate. As in, there’s a boxer turbo four under the hood, and of course, it utilizes a version of the automaker’s symmetrical all-wheel drive. It’s called the Performance-B (badass?) STI Concept, a car that, according to the blurb announcing it, “symbolizes the Subaru performance scene.” Why yes, it does. It also symbolizes a hatchback… Read More →

Subaru Brings Back the Hot Hatch with These Wing-Wearing STI Concepts

Subaru appears to be doubling down on its investment in performance models, but like so many other automakers, it’s not ready to fully commit to electrification. Today, Subaru revealed two new STI concept cars at the Tokyo auto show. Notably, both of them are hatchbacks, and one of them is the first STI-spec EV. Meanwhile, the other sticks to Subaru’s roots with a four-cylinder boxer engine. The electric model is called the Performance-E STI concept,… Read More →

Subaru just gave a massive shot of hope to its fans during its Japan Mobility Show 2025 presentation. After four long years without the brand’s top-flight performance model, Subaru just showed off the Performance-E STI and Performance-B STI Concepts.

One Of The World’s Only Twin-Turbo Flat-Four Engines Was Built By Subaru – And It Didn’t Go As Planned Read More: https://www.jalopnik.com/2008230/subaru-twin-turbo-flat-four-engine/

Although Subaru didn’t invent flat engines, and isn’t the only automaker still using them, those motors have become a defining characteristic of the brand. (The same can be said for all-wheel drive, of course, but we’ll leave that for another day.) In fact, Subaru has relied on flat engines, also called boxer engines, for nearly all of its vehicles since the Subaru 1000 reached the road in 1966. And every gas-powered member of the current… Read More →

Subaru’s Crazy Manual Transmission Pickup With STI Power Is An Absolute Bargain

Pick-up trucks are what keep America moving. Whether they are hauling haybales or livestock, tools or jet skis, these utilitarian machines are the modern day equivalent of the coach and horses. With myriad options, from gas V8s to torquey diesels that could pull a tree out of the ground, there is a pick-up for everyone. Every now and again, however, someone tries to slightly reinvent the pick-up formula – and it doesn’t always work –… Read More →
