The shift to the Tesla standard will bring a CCS adapter allowing models like the Solterra to charge at Tesla Supercharger stations from 2025 on.

Subaru now plans eight EV models by 2028, and its lineup made up mostly of hybrids and EVs by 2030.

The all-wheel-drive 17-mile plug-in hybrid doesn't make sense anymore, with the Solterra EV here and tougher California rules targeting far higher PHEV range.

Subaru plans to make EVs a significant portion of its vehicle lineup, but it's balking at U.S. production even after the incentives of the Inflation Reduction Act.

The Solterra is available in all 50 states and if buyers can claim the full $7,500 federal EV tax credit the base price is effectively lowered to $38,720.

Subaru aims to keep making go-fast performance cars as it shifts focus to electric—and it teases how with two new show cars.

Subaru's new electric SUV, the Solterra, makes its U.S. debut with promising off-road capability and no yoke (thank goodness).

Subaru's plug-in hybrid, the Crosstrek Hybrid, offers a combination of affordability, mechanical all-wheel drive, and enough electric range for short commutes.

A joint-development venture with Toyota will result in a Forester-size EV, to be potentially shown in prototype form in 2021.

Subaru has introduced a set of ride, handling, and trim improvements to the Crosstrek Hybrid, but its plug-in hybrid powertrain continues unchanged.

A platform to be jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru will underpin several new upcoming electric SUV models from both automakers.

Subaru’s STI performance skunkworks has helped enable some very fast, exciting versions of the Japanese automaker’s vehicles. And with its 2019 Crosstrek Hybrid, Subaru has shown it can engineer a full hybrid—a plug-in with a 17-miles range rating. However, the Forester STI...

To understand the complicated path for Subaru’s first plug-in hybrid, first we needed to hike a mile in the automaker’s shoes. OK, more like 10 miles, actually—driving the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid gingerly up a dusty, bouldered, steep trail, past signage cautioning...

Subaru announced Friday that its long-awaited Crosstrek Hybrid, a plug-in model, will go on sale as a 2019. Last month, Car and Driver reported that Subaru filed the trademark name Evoltis with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office, leading to speculation that the name could be applied to the...

In a trademark filing, Subaru has registered a name for its first plug-in product: Evoltis.

When Toyota and Mazda said last September they would form a joint venture to produce electric-car parts, that answered the question of where Mazda's future plug-in vehicles would get their electric running gear. But it sparked another question: Where did that leave Subaru, another small automaker...

At the end of September, Toyota and Mazda announced they would form a joint venture with parts maker Denso to design, test, and build components for a shared electric-car platform. Earlier interviews with Mazda indicate that the small Japanese maker will create its first all-electric model for...

It's now clear that every automaker, no matter how large or small, will have to develop and sell battery-electric vehicles by 2020 to 2025. Companies like GM and Volkswagen, which each make 10 million cars a year, can afford the breathtaking costs of developing expertise and engineering cars with...

Five years after the first Subaru Crosstrek hit the streets, the small Japanese automaker with a cult-like following has significantly updated its unexpectedly successful small crossover utility vehicle. The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek will hit the streets later this year wearing a new exterior and an...

The 2017 Subaru Impreza is one of the most fuel-efficient all-wheel-drive vehicles in the U.S. market, and has been for many years.
