Subaru pulled the wraps off its 2025 Forester during the 2023 Los Angeles Auto Show. Big claims of “all-newness” get thrown around with abandon, but the 2025 Subaru Forester does have new sheetmetal, a stiffer chassis, and a bigger infotainment screen in its redesigned interior. You’ll be able to choose from five trim levels when it gets to dealers: base, Premium, Sport, Limited and Touring, and we expect a Wilderness trim and a hybrid option… Read More →

Toyota claimed a sixth constructors’ crown in Chile before Kalle Rovanpera wrapped up a second drivers’ title at Central European Rally last month.

As it currently stands only one Japanese brand has won Rally Japan previously, namely Subaru… Read More →

Subaru sent us its sixth-generation Impreza—which it now offers only as a hatchback, giving it more utility—only in its most powerful RS trim. It’s an honest little car, with a low center of gravity, standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, and a rear roof spoiler. The RS trim comes, thankfully, with the 2.5-liter boxer engine. The flat-four is connected to a CVT with a manual mode and steering wheel “shift” paddles. The engine’s 182 horsepower and 178… Read More →

Last week marked 20 years since Petter Solberg won the 2003 World Rally Championship, defeating Sébastien Loeb by just a single championship point.

If you’re lucky enough to live in the UK, and you’re unequivocally rally mad, your family and friends might deem it suitable to send you off in a Subaru WRX, converted into… Read More →

Winning is everything to any competitor in any form of motorsport. But winning at home always means that little bit more. The focus here is generally on the driver, who in World Rally Championship terms is bound to benefit from a dose of local knowledge, passionate support and just general familiarity with their surroundings. But the will to succeed on home soil extends to manufacturers as well; not least because it’s the ultimate promotional material… Read More →
