Japanese automaker known for standard all-wheel drive and Boxer (horizontally opposed) engines across its lineup. Toyota holds roughly a 20% stake and co-developed the BRZ/GR86 twins with Subaru.
Subaru's largest EV and, at 420 hp combined, its most powerful production car to date. A three-row electric crossover with standard all-wheel drive, a 95.8 kWh top battery good for over 300 miles of range, and NACS fast charging. Originally due in the US in late 2026, Subaru has confirmed a delay with no new date announced.
The seventh-generation Subaru Outback drops the station-wagon body for a crossover-SUV shape, still with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. A 180 hp 2.5-litre boxer is standard, with a 260 hp 2.4-litre turbo boxer on XT and Wilderness trims. US pricing starts at $34,995.
Honda is reportedly weighing a return of the raised Accord Crosstour liftback, internally called Accord SUV, for the US market with production possibly starting in mid-2029. Honda has told Car and Driver the report isn't based on any of its announcements.
Subaru has confirmed a delay to the Getaway, a three-row electric crossover it had planned to launch in the US in late 2026. The company says it needs more time to finish development and has not given a new date. The Getaway will be Subaru's most powerful production car, with 420 hp, standard all-wheel drive and up to 483 km of range.
Subaru Corporation traces back to 1953, when Fuji Heavy Industries formed from the merger of five Japanese manufacturers; the company adopted the Subaru name for its corporate brand in 2017. It is headquartered in Ebisu, Tokyo. Toyota has held a stake in Subaru since 2005 and increased it to roughly 20% in 2020, making the two automakers strategic allies without a full ownership relationship - Subaru still develops and builds its own vehicles independently.
Subaru’s lineup runs from the Impreza and Crosstrek through the Forester, Outback and three-row Ascent, nearly all sold with the brand’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and horizontally opposed Boxer engines standard. The BRZ sports coupe was co-developed with Toyota, which sells the same car as the GR86. Subaru’s main production base is in Gunma, Japan, alongside a plant in Lafayette, Indiana that builds for the US market.
