There are many reasons Subaru owners love what they drive, including comfort, safety, utility, and all-season performance. They also offer great fuel economy, especially considering that all but one (the rear-wheel BRZ sports car) comes standard with all-wheel drive, which can typically sap a few miles from the range.
Subaru offers an appealing nameplate in the industry's most popular segments, including hybrid and EV options. So, if you're looking for versatility and year-round capability to enhance your Lawrence or Medford drives, you can find something to suit nearly every need and lifestyle. Here's a quick look at the various Subaru cars and SUVs ordered by the latest EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings.
Most Efficient Subaru Cars
- Impreza: (28 city / 36 highway / 32 combined) The most efficient model in Subaru's lineup is the Impreza. Available as a compact sedan or hatchback, it's the only vehicle in its class with standard all-wheel drive.
- Legacy: ( 27 / 35 / 30) Subaru's midsize sedan is larger than the Impreza, providing a roomier cabin and more trunk space. And like many vehicles in the Subaru lineup, it's the only mainstream model in its class with standard all-wheel drive.
- BRZ: (21 / 30 /25) This enthusiast sports car delivers outstanding handling and turbocharged power in a track-ready RWD format.
- WRX: (19 / 25 / 21) This rally-inspired icon is fun to drive on both asphalt and dirt. However, its potent turbocharged engine makes it the least efficient model in Subaru's lineup.
Most Efficient Subaru SUVs
- Crosstrek : (28 / 33 / 30) The Subaru Crosstrek delivers practical versatility and winter-ready capability with city-friendly maneuverability. It's one of only a couple of segment competitors with standard AWD.
- Forester/Outback: (26 / 33 / 29) The Forester and Outback have unique attributes that make them suitable for different needs and preferences. However, their similar sizes and weights give them equal mpg ratings.
- Ascent: (21 / 27 / 23) Eight-passenger seating and a spacious cargo area allow the Ascent to deliver the Signature Subaru experience in a family-friendly form factor. Naturally, its larger size and stronger engine affect efficiency.
Electrified Subaru Models
- Crosstrek Hybrid: With the electric motor assisting the gasoline engine, Crosstrek's plug-in hybrid variant delivers an impressive 90 MPGe. Even without battery assistance, the EPA-estimated 35 mpg is an impressive number. Plus, the Crosstrek Hybrid enables 17 miles of electric-only range.
- Solterra: Subaru's first all-electric model provides 228 miles of all-electric range, which is a cost-equivalent of 104 mpg.
