When it comes to a brand that blends rugged capability with daily drivability, few automakers do it quite like Subaru. Known for its legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, strong safety ratings, and outdoorsy appeal, Subaru has cultivated a loyal fanbase of adventurers, families, and performance enthusiasts alike.
As of 2025, Subaru’s lineup continues to evolve while staying true to the qualities that made it popular. Whether you’re looking for a reliable commuter, a trail-ready SUV, or a rally-inspired performance car, Subaru has something for everyone.
1. Subaru Outback
Best for: Adventurers, families, road-trippers
The Outback remains Subaru’s flagship wagon-SUV hybrid and a top seller for good reason. With 8.7 inches of ground clearance, standard AWD, and a spacious interior, the 2025 Outback offers off-road confidence without sacrificing comfort. The available XT trims come with a turbocharged engine, making highway merges and mountain drives effortless.
2. Subaru Forester
Best for: Daily driving, weekend getaways, small families
The Forester is a compact SUV that feels anything but small on the inside. Its boxy design allows for excellent cargo space and visibility. For 2025, Subaru has added more tech features, including upgraded EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ as standard across more trims.
3. Subaru Crosstrek
Best for: First-time buyers, urban explorers, light off-roaders
The redesigned 2025 Crosstrek takes everything people loved about previous versions and sharpens it. It’s now quieter, smoother, and still just as capable on trails. With its affordable price point and improved interior quality, it’s a great choice for those wanting a mix of city sensibility and weekend warrior vibes.
4. Subaru WRX
Best for: Performance enthusiasts, rally fans, sporty daily drivers
For those who crave a more aggressive drive, the WRX offers rally-inspired performance with everyday usability. The 2025 WRX boasts a 271-hp turbocharged engine, a sport-tuned suspension, and the available GT trim now includes adaptive dampers. It’s a car that’s just as fun on the backroads as it is on the track.
5. Subaru Ascent
Best for: Large families, road trips, towing
Need three rows? The Ascent is Subaru’s largest vehicle, ideal for bigger families or those needing extra space. With seating for up to 8, 5,000 pounds of towing capacity, and enhanced safety systems, the 2025 Ascent is a practical and comfortable option for those who want space without giving up AWD capability.
6. Subaru Solterra
Best for: Eco-conscious drivers, early EV adopters
Subaru’s first all-electric SUV, the Solterra, returns in 2025 with improved range and software updates. Built in collaboration with Toyota, it retains Subaru’s all-weather and off-road DNA while offering the quiet, clean performance of an EV. With available dual motors and X-MODE®, it’s one of the few electric crossovers designed with adventure in mind.
Final Thoughts
