Brandon Semenuk got his Green APU American Rally Association National title defense off to the perfect start with a dominant victory on the Sno*Drift Rally. Subaru Motorsports USA driver Semenuk and his co-driver Keaton Williams won the event by just under 13 and a half minutes over last year’s RC2 champions Tom Williams and Ross Whittock.

It may not look like it at first glance, but Subaru redesigned its popular all-wheel-drive Crosstrek subcompact SUV for 2024.

The Crosstrek retains its established formula, transforming an Impreza hatchback into a crossover vehicle with an elevated ride height and adventure-inspired design flourishes. There are numerous small updates throughout that promise to add appeal. Read More →

The third generation of Subaru’s popular Crosstrek offers much of what we’ve come to expect from this lifted version of the Impreza hatchback. The 2024 model has carryover engines and maintains a similar aesthetic, but Subaru says it features a stiffer chassis, and its standard-features list grows. The only thing missing is the previous model’s manual transmission, which is dropped for the lineup, leaving a CVT as the only transmission. As such, the base price… Read More →

Six-time US rally champion Travis Pastrana has confirmed he’ll be taking a step back from the American Rally Association National championship this season. Pastrana, the 2017 and ’21 ARA champion with Subaru Motorsports USA, endured a difficult title defense in 2022 as he broke his pelvis filming for the latest Gymkhana video. That forced him to miss the opening round, Sno*Drift Rally, and restricted his pace on further rounds too as he recovered from his… Read More →

CVTs often get a bad rap for being unengaging, unreliable, and just all-around dull transmissions that suck the life out of any engine they’re mated up to. The new Subaru WRX in particular has received a lot of flak for this, especially because its top trim is only available with such a transmission, but is it really that bad? Engineering Explained’s Jason Fenske takes a look at that CVT in his latest video to find… Read More →

The 2023 Subaru Forester is, as Subaru tends to do with all its cars, designed for the subset of folks who like to head into the great outdoors more than others. Of course, that’s the marketing. What Subaru owners do and what their cars are designed for won’t line up in every case, but at least the Forester makes some light trail-running possible. Standard all-wheel drive, class-leading ground clearance, ample cargo capacity, sturdy roof rails… Read More →
