Subaru

It’s hard to believe, but the Subaru brand celebrated 50 years in the U.S. market in 2018. What started out as a funky little automaker with a weird-looking AWD wagon, has evolved into a success story like no other. Subaru first became popular in the Northeast, Rocky Mountain states, and Pacific Northwest. Now the brand is selling well all over the country because the word is out about Subaru’s safety, reliability, and all-season, an all-wheel-drive capability that sets the brand apart.

The Subaru Lineup includes their top-three sellers, the Forester SUV, Outback wagon, and Crosstrek crossover all-wheel-drive vehicles. The new Ascent family hauler is the largest vehicle the brand has ever built. The Impreza is an affordable compact, the Legacy sedan is still the only sedan in America with standard AWD, and the performance-oriented Subaru BRZ sports coupe, and the rally-bred WRX and WRX STI performance sedans are a must-see for driving enthusiasts.

Here, at Torque News, we cover the Subaru brand extensively and have the latest specs and reviews on each model. Here’s a list of the complete Subaru lineup. Check our current reviews of each model for specific trim levels and check back daily for the latest Subaru news.
