Subaru Models

Subaru has a well-earned reputation for reliability and durability. Models such as the Subaru Forester prove that, as 96% of Forester SUVs sold in the last 10 years are still running today. Standard Symmetrical all-wheel drive in most Subaru vehicles enables you to get better footing on slick or muddy roads.

The EyeSight driver assistance suite also comes standard in Subaru models like the Impreza, Crosstrek, WRX, Forester, Legacy, Outback, and Ascent for enhanced confidence and safer travel. You'll also appreciate Subaru's STARLINK Multimedia system for an easy connection to your smartphone apps and a more enjoyable time behind the wheel.

Model Highlight: Subaru Forester

The new Subaru Forester is a compact SUV that's a bit larger than the Subaru Crosstrek, but shorter in length than the Subaru Outback. The Forester's roomy cabin and gentle ride are perfect for families and commuters. It also returns exceptional fuel economy and has one of the largest cargo holds in its class. All Forester models come with an 180-horsepower four-cylinder engine. A smooth-shifting continuously variable transmission makes smooth shifts that enable the Forester to return 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.

Standard all-wheel drive and an off-road-ready Forester Wilderness trim offer some all-terrain capability. The Forester also has a wide array of tech features that help you stay safe, comfortable, and entertained, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, automatic climate control, satellite radio, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. Subaru Forester Touring trims come with a nine-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system, an integrated navigation system, and a heated steering wheel for additional comfort and entertainment.
