Hiroki Arai will lead Team Japan at next month’s Rally of Nations Guanajuato, with the León-based event demonstrating the true global nature of the competition. The 28-year-old son of former World Rally Championship star Toshi Arai will join Ishii Hironao in an all-Subaru squad for the April 1-3 event. Highly regarded in his Japanese homeland, a limited program of WRC events means Arai Jr is well known around the world. But this will be his… Read More →

An SUV is a vehicle designed to fit more passengers than a sedan or other type of compact, which means interior comfort is critical, especially for the driver. The 2022 Subaru Forester crossover SUV is one of the top models in the class that offers enhanced comfort and relaxed driving, thanks to its ample headroom. In fact, Consumer Reports (CR) voted it as the best compact SUV for tall drivers. Read More →

The 2023 Subaru Solterra doesn’t have 500 horsepower or 300 miles of range. It can’t recharge in 15 minutes or power your house as a backup generator. There’s no frunk, and it won’t bowl you over with outrageous specs or design. We’d consider it a homework assignment turned in late were it not for its off-road acumen, which makes it rather unique among mainstream EVs. Sure, you can ice your shrimp in the frunk of… Read More →

There’s a sense of familiarity when you enter the new 2023 Subaru Solterra. The start button is where it’s supposed to be, the side-mirror controls are located on the door panel, and the entire interface—from the digital instrument cluster to the infotainment system—looks like business as usual. Unlike some of the electric cars that have debuted recently, there’s no learning curve, hidden buttons, or leading-edge technology to cause anxiety. Although the cabin looks more familiar… Read More →

Subaru is currently developing a new competition car based on the 2022 VB WRX sedan, despite news last week that the STI variant of the brand’s roadgoing WRX sedan would no longer be sold with an internal combustion engine. In a statement provided to DirtFish, Subaru of America’s motorsports manager William Stokes reaffirmed Subaru’s commitment to motorsport in the US in light of the demise of the brand’s sportiest road car, and revealed its future… Read More →

Subaru owners are a loyal bunch, but as more drivers decide to go greener by driving an electric vehicle, those loyalists have been left behind. The closest thing has been the Crosstrek Hybrid, a plug-in hybrid with a meager 17 miles of electric range. Now, though, there’s the new 2023 Subaru Solterra, the brand’s first all-electric vehicle. However, it was developed in partnership with Toyota and without a Subaru-trademark boxer engine, is it really Subaru… Read More →

It’s been almost two weeks since Shane Leonard, the owner of SL Performance Boxer Engines in Colorado Springs, disappeared. He allegedly did so with dozens of customer engines, their performance parts, and money, said to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, leaving clients’ cars by the roadside to be towed. While Leonard has not yet been found, the odds of him getting away with it to cheat other customers are diminishing by the… Read More →

While other manufacturers have taken auto electrification seriously, Subaru has been pretty slow to jump on the EV bandwagon. The automaker has a hybrid version of the Crosstrek, and that’s about it. The 2023 Subaru Solterra will be the carmaker’s first all-electric car. Considering that most manufacturers already have standard EV lineups, we can say that Subaru is lagging in this category. The 2023 Solterra is a collaboration between Subaru and Toyota. Both Japanese manufacturers… Read More →

It wasn’t until I found myself behind the wheel of a 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness that I realized just how many Subarus there are out there. At every stoplight, at every corner, at every drive-thru, at the school pick-up line, they’re everywhere. On one day I must’ve counted at least a dozen during my usual, twice-a-day school runs. To me, Subarus had always been overly rugged-looking wagons with loyal followings, but I never really understood… Read More →
