Subaru

Subaru’s Ascent is the no-nonsense vehicle of the three-row SUV world. It’s designed to excel at its intended job without any excessive flash or flair. Shuttling seven or eight passengers from point A to point B, regardless of weather or road conditions, is the Ascent’s operational directive. Recently though, it’s gained a bit more personality as Subaru looks to expand the vehicle’s appeal.

The Subaru Impreza enters a new generation and sees a choice of engines return. Carried over is the 2.0-liter four-cylinder, but new this year is a more powerful 2.5-liter unit. The manual transmission option has been axed as has the sedan body style. That just leaves the hatchback which continue to include full-time all-wheel drive. 

Subaru’s mid-size sedan may have been ahead of its time. Having offered all-wheel drive for decades, the few competitors it has left have been going the same route lately. But the Legacy remains the only sedan in its class to come standard with all wheel drive. It is a Subaru after all. 

The Subaru Outback is a bit of an anomaly in the automotive world. The lifted wagon is one of the few such offerings from a mainstream manufacturer. Other brands have tried to duplicate Subaru’s formula with little success. The current Outback can be had with a pair of engines including a potent 260 hp turbocharge four-cylinder.

Subaru EyeSight is an advanced driver-assist system developed by Subaru to assist with vehicle safety and driver convenience. This technology, which is available in many Subaru models, utilizes a set of dual, or trio, color cameras placed near the rearview mirror to monitor traffic movement, optimize cruise control, and warn the driver of potential hazards. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Subaru EyeSight, detailing its functions, components, and benefits. The focus is on presenting this information in a straightforward and factual manner, accessible to those who may not be deeply familiar with automotive technologies.

Subaru is a company that always seems to find a niche. Twenty years ago, everything the brand made had a bit of rally racing baked in. But sadly, times have changed and so have consumer tastes. Crossovers and SUVs are all the rage now, especially those that are ruggedized and exude an active lifestyle. Subaru has jumped right in on this trend, finding a new sub-market with the Wilderness line of vehicles.

STI, which stands for Subaru Tecnica International, is a term synonymous with performance in the Subaru brand. It represents the high-performance division of Subaru. This article aims to provide a detailed understanding of what STI means for Subaru, the history behind this division, its impact on Subaru's vehicles, and the characteristics that set STI models apart from the standard Subaru lineup. This explanation is tailored for those who may not be deeply familiar with automotive terms, offering a clear and factual overview.

The American and Canadian automotive markets are very similar. The vehicles sold in both countries are near identical, but there are a few differences, usually dictated by climate and geography.

Subaru's X-MODE technology is a feature integrated into Subaru SUVs, aimed at enhancing their performance, particularly in challenging and diverse driving conditions. This technology operates along with Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system to augment the vehicle's traction, control, and stability, especially in situations where the driving conditions are less than ideal. The purpose of this article is to provide an in-depth, factual understanding of Subaru X-MODE, its functioning, benefits, and usage scenarios.

Buyers sure do love the Subaru Crosstrek.

The Subaru Forester is a vehicle that has never strayed far from a formula, and the new sixth-generation SUV is no exception. A perennial high-volume seller for Subaru in both Canada and the United States, we understand why the manufacturer is reluctant to overly alter the vehicle.

Subaru Starlink is an integrated in-vehicle technology system designed to enhance the safety, connectivity, and entertainment experience for drivers and passengers of Subaru vehicles. This system, exclusive to Subaru, offers a range of features that integrate advanced technology into the driving experience, differentiating it from offerings by other automakers. The following sections provide an in-depth overview of Subaru Starlink's main features, along with insights into why it might be a desirable option for car shoppers.

Subaru is a brand that embraces evolutionary updates opposed to revolutionary ones. The company is very conservative when it comes to model redesigns and some consumers have a hard time telling the new vehicle apart from the old one.

They didn’t tell us very much.

Subaru’s giving its manual-equipped cars some ADAS love.

The 2024 Subaru Impreza has undergone some significant updates, even it might not appear that way on the surface.

Believe it or not, the Subaru Crosstrek is beginning its third generation as 2024 models arrive at dealerships this spring.

Not only has it been around for longer than some might recall (2012), but Subaru’s littlest SUV is more popular than one might expect. In 2022, the Crosstrek was the bestselling Subaru in both the U.S. and Canada, accounting for 35 percent of brand sales for the latter. That is a truly impressive feat for a car so unassuming and lacking in flash or pretention. It is what it is, as the saying goes, and for Subaru that is indeed a good thing.

Welcome to the single most important comparison we will have all year. The AutoGuide 2022 Best Small SUV Comparison sponsored by NRS Brakes.

We’re a practical bunch here at AutoGuide. We like when something serves dual purposes, like this three car comparison of the Toyota GR86 vs Subaru BRZ vs Mazda MX-5 Miata. It’s both a family rivalry and a rematch.

The Toyota BZ4X has only been on sale for a few weeks, but it is already the subject of a serious recall.

Thanks to a shopper that’s rapidly shifting to a more outdoor-oriented lifestyle, today’s SUVs come in an increasingly wide range of flavors designed to satisfy the appetites of drivers after enhanced capability, confidence, and clearance on the road less travelled.

The big three-row SUV continues to be the vehicle of choice for growing families.

Nevermind sensible shoes: we’ve put our entire sensible suits on here.

The Subaru Forester and Hyundai Tucson are too staples of the compact SUV world. 

Going into this comparison, it almost didn’t seem fair.

Toyota finally unveiled the 2023 GR Corolla, and it’s set to rock the hot hatch market.

Yes, you read that right. Subaru‘s iconic rally-car-for-the-streets is no more. 

If you want a shift-it-yourself SUV, good news: they still exist. The bad news is that you can count them on one hand.

Round two, fight!

Fast*, new, or affordable: pick two. Or in the case of these 10 cars, all three.

Just because you want a car capable of a little fun shouldn’t lock you into the two-door crowd.
