Think Subaru, and you’re probably picturing either a flamboyant WRX sedan being flung around a twisty road or a rugged SUV taking the family away on a camping trip. But what about the buyer in search of the most affordable new car they can buy, without any of the frills? Subaru has one more new vehicle left for sale at under $25,000, which competes with other entry-level cars from Toyota and Honda. Let’s find out… Read More →

While automotive manufacturers tend to remain secretive when it comes to sharing the special sauce that makes their respective models their own, every now and again they understand that working with another established brand can be a worthwhile exercise in shifting some more hardware. Porsche has been involved in many of these different collaborations, and in the late 1990s, it decided to add the Subaru Legacy to its list of projects. The call Porsche got… Read More →

Developing a car is expensive, especially when it uses new technology like electric motors and a big battery pack. So it makes sense for automakers to team up on developing one or more vehicles. Subaru and Toyota are doing just that on a series of EVs that began with the Solterra and bZ4X duo, which arrived for the 2023 model year. In the coming months, the two brands are expanding their EV lineups to three… Read More →

The Subaru Crosstrek has never been a fast car. But when the most recent model was introduced in 2024 with extra weight and no added power, it became even slower, like 9.5 seconds to 60 mph slow. But now that Subaru has announced that it is dropping the base 2.0-liter from the Crosstrek lineup for 2026, those laggard acceleration figures should be left in the past. Read More →

If you’ve ever seen drivers rallying through America in WRX racecars, you know it’s not uncommon for Subarus to spend a certain amount of time off the ground. However, what you might not realize is that Subaru not only had its origins in the aeronautics industry — it continues to build airplanes and helicopters to this day. It’s a long and twisting tale that started with Chikuhei Nakajima, who got interested in flying after he retired… Read More →

Screaming down the forest rally stage at Goodwood Festival of Speed with Travis Pastrana at the wheel of Subaru’s WRX ARA25 rally car is probably as close as you can get to the forrest defenders scene in “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.” My stomach gets cozy with my spinal column as a blur of green leaves and black tree trunks blur past the windows. A few “wahoos” escape, along with some violently delightful horn… Read More →

The name Subaru Uncharted may evoke visions of a rugged off-roader, but this new electric SUV is charting new territory in ways that you might not expect. As a mechanical twin to the recently revealed Toyota C-HR, the Uncharted will be the smallest EV in the Subaru lineup. And though Subaru is notably a brand known for offering standard all-wheel drive across its lineup (save for the rear-wheel-drive BRZ sports car), the Uncharted will also… Read More →

The Subaru Uncharted is the newest addition to the brand’s electric SUV roster, and it’s the baby of the bunch. Slotting in below the compact Solterra, the Uncharted has a small footprint and serves as a sort of EV companion to the gas-powered Subaru Crosstrek subcompact SUV. The Uncharted was jointly developed alongside the Toyota C-HR and shares nearly identical specs. Sport and GT models crib the C-HR’s 338-hp dual-motor electric powertrain, which grants standard… Read More →
