Reviews SummaryWhen the original Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid debuted in 2014, it was by no means early to the hybrid game. But most hybrids were sedans, and few automakers had attempted a hybrid crossover. As Subaru’s first-ever production hybrid, sold from 2014 to 2016, it signaled Subaru's interest in the green-car market. After a nearly three-year hiatus, the Crosstrek hybrid is back, now as a plug-in hybrid. However, it has some stiff competition. The compact crossover segment has exploded, and brought us some unique green cars for eco-friendly shoppers on a budget. You could get the RAV4 Hybrid back in 2015, but now there’s also the Kia Niro, Hyundai Ioniq, and Prius Prime (which was introduced in 2016) all offering plug-in capability and some modest utility. The new Crosstrek Hybrid has the latest infotainment and driver-assistance features, but will that be enough to ensure its relevance in this affordable green-car landscape? | |
Reviews SummaryJust one year after Subaru introduced its first electric car, the 2024 Solterra receives changes to upgrade battery charging, update the EyeSight collection of standard safety features, enhance comfort and convenience, and add utility. Better yet, Subaru hasn’t raised prices, at least as the 2024 model year kicks off. The automaker is also using a regulatory loophole related to the EV federal income tax credit to make leasing a Solterra more affordable. Verdict: With the 2024 Solterra, Subaru has a more credible EV to sell. From the new steering wheel and available ventilated front seats to the updated EyeSight features and quicker charging battery pack, it is more appealing than before. However, unimpressive range ratings remain an issue. | |
