Subaru Is Left Off The AutoPacific Best New Vehicle Satisfaction Awards List

AutoPacific announced the 2021 Vehicle Satisfaction Award winners, and according to the results, no Subaru models make the list this year. In 2020, the Subaru Forester ranked highest in the Midsize Crossover SUV category, but Subaru gets blanked in the 2021 awards.

AutoPacific’s annual New Vehicle Satisfaction Survey of 89,000 new car and light truck owners, identifies the most satisfying vehicles on the market as rated by the consumer.

In the Mid-Size Crossover SUV category, the Nissan Rogue is picked over the Subaru Forester. The Jeep Grand Cherokee takes the Midsize SUV category where the Outback resides. In the subcompact SUV segment, the Toyota C-HR wins where the Subaru Crosstrek is the top model.

In the Sports Car category where the Subaru BRZ competes, the Mazda MX-5 Miata wins. In the Sporty Car segment, the Chevrolet Camaro wins where the Subaru WRX and WRX STI reside.

How does Subaru rank in other customer/consumer studies?

A new study from iSeeCars says the Subaru Forester makes the top-ten SUVs list for owner satisfaction. The Subaru Outback makes two top-ten lists; Top-10 Cars and Top-10 SUVs for owner satisfaction.

According to Consumer Reports’ Annual Owner Satisfaction Survey, the Subaru Forester scored a 4 out of 5 rating in predicted owner satisfaction. 79 percent of owners say they would buy the Forester again. The Nissan Rogue scores 3/5 in predicted owner satisfaction, and 65 percent of owners said they would buy the car again.

The 2021 Subaru Outback gets a 4/5 in overall owner satisfaction and 80 percent of owners says they would buy the vehicle again. The Jeep Grand Cherokee has a 4/5 owner satisfaction and 74 percent of owners would buy the vehicle again.

Consumer Reports gives Crosstrek a predicted overall owner satisfaction rating of 4/5. 77 percent of Subaru Crosstrek owners said they would buy the car again. Only 34 percent of Toyota C-HR owners said they would buy the car again. The Toyota C-HR only has a 1/5 predicted overall owner satisfaction rating according to Consumer Reports’ Annual Owner Satisfaction Survey.

The 2021 Subaru Forester, 2022 Outback, 2021 Crosstrek get high marks in other owner surveys but Subaru gets left off AutoPacific 2021 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards.
