Subaru's All-Wheel Drive Philosophy

All-wheel drive isn't just for "bad weather." Balancing and power distribution to your wheels is something that may be more important when it's raining or snowing. Still, it's also essential during tight curves and other unforeseeable road conditions. Subaru takes the innovation of its symmetrical all-wheel drive so seriously that they offer it standard on a host of vehicles: the Legacy, Crosstrek, and Forester, to name just a few. So how exactly does Subaru's version of all-wheel drive give you more powerful traction and control?

2 Millionth Forester Just Sold

The two millionth Forester sold in the U.S. just reminded everyone that the Forester is something extraordinary in the world of compact SUVs. It seats 5 people, giving them a spacious, well-organized environment to enjoy its more luxury qualities. While the Forester is the second best selling SUV Subaru makes in the United States, it's Subaru's number one SUV around the globe. 

While it’s fun to drive around in high-powered luxury vehicles, these aren’t always the best options when you need something for daily driving. A sensible vehicle is what most consumers are requesting from manufacturers. Subaru has a lineup of practical vehicles that are affordable and reliable for all demographics. The Outback has been one of their most popular models since 1996. There are a few different trim levels that are part of the most recent Outback model. Let’s compare some of them to find out what will work best for you.

The Adventurous Subaru

Subaru is a Top Adventure Brand for several reasons, one of which is the fact that Subaru is a well-made, spacious vehicle with a quiet and smooth ride. An impressive 97% of Subaru vehicles that were sold in the last ten years remain on the road today. Not only is it reliable, but the Subaru is safe. Every model of Subaru is an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) top winner. Also, with all the trims in its lineup offering standard all-wheel drive, Subaru provides drivers who venture off the road much confidence.

Spacious and Capable

If there's one car model that can hold its own against luxury brands and still maintain practicality, it has to be the Subaru. For years, the Forester has been one of the best selling crossover SUVs in the American market. Subarus are affordable and very versatile. The SUVs are spacious and capable of carrying lots of luggage even with the last row seats still up. However, the question remains, which Subaru has the most cargo space?

Over the past several years, more and more automakers have forayed into the world of three-row vehicles: creating SUVs with enough space and seating to accommodate up to seven or eight people (depending on type of seats). On November 28, 2017, at the annual LA Auto Show, Subaru became the latest car company to do so, presenting a brand-new model available in four trims. This vehicle, known as the Ascent, is the largest Subaru automobile yet.

Named in the Best New Cars for Teens by U.S. News & World Report, the 2017 Subaru Outback is an all-star pick for anyone who values top-notch safety features, standout style and high-end amenities.
