2025 Subaru Forester e-Boxer Hybrid: Good But Not Enough3.5/5

At last, Subaru has finally launched a hybrid variant of its compact SUV, the Forester . But was it worth the wait? In the light of our recent test drive, we're inclined to say: too little, too late. Admittedly, the new 2025 Forester e-Boxer Hybrid has its merits and will …July 9, 2025

2025 Subaru Forester: Continuity Through Change3.5/5

Subaru ’s iconic Forester is all-new for 2025. Well, sort of. Changes to the exterior are relatively conservative, with slimmer headlights and a larger front grille as the most obvious evolution. Designers took a careful approach in the rear, too, slightly shrinking the taillights while revising the bumper. By favouring …January 20, 2025

2024 Subaru Solterra: We Found the One Area Where This EV Excels3.0/5

Victoria, British Columbia— Along with the nearly identical Toyota bZ4X , the Subaru Solterra is one of the least impressive electric SUVs on the market from a technology standpoint. And don’t get us started on the design. Following a rough start in terms of sales, things could only get better …October 9, 2024

2024 Subaru Impreza: The Fun is Back4.0/5

Once a popular pick in the compact segment, with standard AWD, durable construction and decent value all part of the package, the Subaru Impreza now seems to be an afterthought. At least that’s what sales charts in recent years suggest. The automaker’s conservative approach in evolving times is only one …October 31, 2023

2024 Subaru Crosstrek: Handy Hatchback for Canadians4.0/5

Hatchbacks are not what they used to be, mainly because another type of vehicle has taken the industry by storm. You may have heard about them—they’re called SUVs and crossovers. Foreign automakers look at the North American market and obviously see the U.S.—not the Great White North—as the primary target. September 19, 2023

2024 Subaru Impreza RS: More Expensive, But Still Praiseworthy4.5/5

Not only is the Impreza the entry point to the Subaru lineup, it has also a gateway to all-wheel drive in the automotive industry. Indeed, offering all-wheel drive (AWD) as standard in a vehicle priced at around $25,000 is something not every manufacturer can do. And we're not talking about …June 13, 2023

2023 Subaru Ascent: Still Far From the Top of the Hill3.5/5

The Subaru Ascent has received a proper mid-cycle update for 2023. While it definitely benefits from being an SUV, outselling the Impreza and Legacy combined in Canada last year, this three-row midsize model can still be found at the bottom of the segment, looking up at every other contender. To …April 19, 2023

2023 Subaru Legacy GT: Alone With a Big Engine and AWD4.0/5

The Subaru Legacy is far from enjoying the same type of success as the Crosstrek and Outback are in their respective segments. Subaru-loving families also prefer the Forester (naturally) and the Ascent . When it comes to midsize sedans, the Legacy is a marginal player, too. And yet from 2021-2023 …January 14, 2023

2023 Subaru Ascent: Adventures for the Whole Family3.5/5

The Car Guide headed to Picton, Ontario last month to test drive the mildly redesigned and updated 2023 Subaru Ascent , the Japanese brand’s largest crossover. We spent time around town and on the highway, as well as some muddy trails nearby, to get a complete picture of how it …January 6, 2023

2023 Subaru Outback Onyx: Meet the Out-Black4.0/5

The refreshed 2023 Subaru Outback builds on a winning recipe that has earned the Japanese crossover multiple Best Buy awards from The Car Guide in the midsize SUV segment. A few styling revisions, enhanced EyeSight safety system and some new technologies are in store. Also, because every other manufacturer is …December 15, 2022

2022 Subaru Forester Premier: Into the Woods We Go4.0/5

The Subaru Forester has been a staple in the lineup since 1997, and since then it has gone through both cosmetic and technological changes and advances. Always the more rugged of the family tree, the latest iteration of the Forester continues to impress in terms of design and capability and …June 7, 2022

2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness: Long Live Adventure4.5/5

It’s one thing for a company to promote itself as “adventure-driven” or ready to take on anything, and completely another to make that the living, breathing essence of your entire lineup and brand just as Subaru has done over the years. More than anything, Subaru sells a lifestyle. They sell …May 3, 2022

2022 Subaru Crosstrek Outdoor: AWDsome4.0/5

If you’re lucky enough to establish yourself in a specific market and be known for something and known for something good, then you likely solidify yourself a solid following of loyal buyers and supporters: Well, Subaru’s done just that over the years.
