A Look Ahead- The Complete New 2023 Subaru Model Buying Guide

Here's a look ahead to the 2023 Subaru lineup and what's coming for customers. Check out the 2023 Outback, 2023 Solterra, 2023 Forester, and 2023 Crosstrek.

The 2023 Subaru Solterra is the automaker's first-ever all-electric global vehicle, and it goes on sale in mid-2022 for U.S. customers. The compact SUV will be available throughout North America and will be priced around $40,000 for the base trim and could approach $50,000 for the fully-loaded Touring trim level. Check out the complete model guide here.

2023 Subaru Outback

The 2023 Outback, in the fourth year of their life cycle, will get a refresh. Subaru typically gives its models a refresh with a new front fascia outside (headlights, bumper, hexagon grille) and unique interior upgrades with fabric changes inside, and a new exterior color. The midsize SUV could also get new safety technology. New models should arrive in the late summer of 2022. Check out more details here.

2023 Subaru Ascent

The Ascent is in its fourth year, skipping the upgrades for 2022 models. Subaru's Ascent 3-Row SUV is now scheduled to get a refresh in the second half of 2022 as a 2023 model. Like the Outback, it will get a new front fascia outside (headlights, bumper, hexagon grille) and unique interior upgrades with fabric changes inside, and a new exterior color. Reports not confirmed by Subaru say the Ascent could get a Wilderness trim level.

2023 Subaru Legacy

Also, like the Outback, the 2023 Legacy will be in the fourth year of its life cycle. Look for the sedan's refresh to include a new front fascia outside (headlights, bumper, hexagon grille) and unique interior upgrades with fabric changes inside, and a new exterior color.

2023 Subaru Forester and BRZ

The 2023 Subaru Forester and 2023 BRZ will remain relatively unchanged. The Forester gets a complete remodel for the 2024 model year.

2023 Subaru Crosstrek

The 2023 Crosstrek will get a complete remodel, and customers in North America will get a new Crosstrek Wilderness rugged model to fill out the new sub-brand. The all-new Crosstrek will arrive in late 2022, and the Wilderness will come in early 2023.

2023 Subaru Impreza

The 2023 Subaru Impreza also gets a complete redesign. The next-generation 2023 Impreza will likely come with the new EyeSight X driver-assist safety technology. Recent reports not confirmed by Subaru say the compact car could get a new 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The all-new Impreza will come in early 2023.

2023 Subaru WRX STI

The 2023 Subaru WRX STI gets a complete redesign, and Subaru Corporation is now working on the next-generation STI. The 2023 Subaru WRX STI will arrive in 2022 with a 2.4-liter turbocharged Boxer engine, tuned by Subaru Tecnica International.

Subaru will announce the high-performance 2023 WRX STI in the first half of 2022 and will make its debut in the fall of 2022.

The all-new 2023 Subaru Solterra is the automaker's most-anticipated new launch in 10 years. Significant new upgrades come for the 2023 Crosstrek, Impreza, and WRX STI, and all get a complete redesign. A refresh is coming for the 2023 Outback, Ascent, and Legacy. Stay tuned.

Can't hardly wait to see the 2023 Subaru Impreza. Hope it has a larger engine. If so, I might just buy it.
