The Subaru difference
Don't wait for a nice day
While everyone else waits for the weather to improve, Subaru drivers are already out in it. Rain-soaked lanes, muddy tracks, frosty mornings and long, dark drives home: this is the time of year a Subaru was built for.
Take a Crosstrek or Forester out in the weather it was made for and see why so many people wouldn't drive anything else.
Mud
Activate X-MODE with Hill Descent Control at a push of a button. Negotiate unpredictable terrain with confidence and wear that mud splattered wheel arch like a badge of honour.
Mist
Advanced safety features come as standard. With 5-star Euro-NCAP and Award-Winning EyeSight Driver Assist system, featuring 15 built-in technologies, including front pre-collision braking and emergency driving stop.
Diversions
Road ahead closed? You know Subaru will navigate new routes like a duck to water but, extra time spent in the car feels like a treat with comfort features including heated seats and a spacious cabin to keep emergency supplies.
