As soon as the Subaru Trailseeker was unveiled last April, the brand’s famously loyal but very EV-curious fans were aglow with praise on Reddit. “It looks more like an Outback than the new Outback,” one r/Subaru commenter wrote, and they weren’t entirely wrong. While the redesigned 2026 Outback grew more SUV-like, the electric Trailseeker is distinctly wagon-esque. Now it’s here, with 375 horsepower, 281 miles of range and a starting price of $39,995. It’s not… Read More →

I have been avoiding something for years. I am a twenty-something guy who lives in San Diego, has a dog, hikes a lot, and loves to camp inside his SUV. Everyone on Earth knows what I should be driving: a Subaru Outback. I know it, too, but truth be told I’ve always found the modern Subie wagons to be quite boring. Enter the Trailseeker, an electric Outback-sized SUV with plenty of ground clearance, a massive… Read More →

Standard all wheel drive, excellent visibility, real world cargo practicality, and a calm, confidence inspiring drive in bad weather or on dirt and gravel, the 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid is the one to choose. It is the better fit for outdoorsy owners, snowy climates, and buyers who value straightforward utility and long term usability over a flashy cabin. Read More →

Over in one corner, we have Travis Pastrana and the Subaru “Brataroo,” which features a high-revving turbocharged flat-four engine capable of spinning up to 9,500 rpm. For folks who may be unaware, Pastrana is a pro driver with experience in multiple motorsport disciplines, including motocross, rally racing, NASCAR, and more. The four-banger in the Brataroo is described as “sounding like a freaking two-stroke,” with the car running lower gearing than the last time it ran… Read More →

It feels like just yesterday that the Subaru WRX STI was a semi-affordable gateway to the world of rally-bred performance, offering all the tools you’d need to get sideways on your local dirt road while looking like Ken Block or Travis Pastrana on a closed stage. But the truth is, that hasn’t been reality for a while now. The STI has been dead since 2021, forcing buyers to look elsewhere, in the form of cars… Read More →

By now, everyone knows about Toyota and Subaru’s collaboration projects, and how they work well together to create some seriously cool stuff, like the Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ, the Toyota GR86 and the Subaru BRZ, and so much more. Subaru’s first PHEV, the Crosstrek PHEV (and also the company’s second try at a Crosstrek hybrid), was made up of Toyota’s leftover hybrid technology. It performed well, but it was expensive at well over $40,000,… Read More →

Subaru is the country’s most popular supplier of body cladding, and has a rugged all-wheel-drive crossover in every segment, from the Impreza-like Crosstrek to the three-row Ascent. But until recently, those looking for these go-anywhere qualities in a Subaru EV had only one choice, the relatively bulky Solterra. That has changed with the arrival of the Uncharted and the Trailseeker. If the Solterra is the equivalent of a Forester EV, this pair are best thought… Read More →

Subaru invited us out on a (rare) rainy California day to experience its new EV and see just what it can do off-road. But beyond it’s off-road abilities, how does it stack up to the rest of the market today? The Subaru Uncharted is Subaru’s new mid-size electric SUV, intended as an entry-level “right-sized” offering, but still boasting an ample list of features. It’s intended to sit in the same class as the gas-powered Crosstrek,… Read More →

our decades ago, the world watched in wonder as Group B came to a spellbinding – not to mention fittingly controversial – conclusion on the Olympus Rally. In April, those stories and those stages will be back for a sell-out anniversary edition of what was arguably America’s greatest ever rally. The 2026 Olympus Rally presented by DirtFish has been 40 years in the making. Steve McQuaid has been at the heart of the event for… Read More →
